With the world of hockey all but shut out to me, unless I travel to Sweden, which I might, because I could really use some furniture and some meatballs. I have had no choice but to recently explore my other sports options. I began on Sunday by looking at one of my favorite football teams to watch as a kid, the Washington Redskins, which used to be such a pain to watch as they didn't score and didn't win. They still don't win, but they lose in the most exciting fashion. He is definitely this year's Cam Newton, performing to the top of his abilities and on pace to end three games out of the playoffs.
The Washington Redskins gave up their next 20 years worth of first round picks as well as their first-borns to have Robert Griffin III. This is a player who is half-man, half-beast, half-android, an improper fraction of technology sent from the future to change the past for one lucky team. Most people call him RGIII, not because it's a clever play on his initials, but because he was the third RG created in the factory of beastly cyborgs from the 24th Century.
His dreads double as wiring for his system. He has every play in every football game, past, present, and future, programmed into his cybernetic brain. The only reason he's losing is because his code can't account for Pop Warner refs and his offensive line.
I feel good about RGIII. He will lead DC area sports into something they haven't seen in a while, a championship loss.
