More than the health of his knee, more than Mike Shanahan’s alleged negligence, here’s what concerned me about Robert Griffin’s first playoff appearance:

RG3 bought the hype -- his own.

His postgame comments explaining why he stayed in the game beyond the first quarter revealed a young man who had crossed the thin line between confidence and arrogance.

“I don’t feel like me being out there hurt the team in any way,” Griffin proclaimed. “I’m the best option for this team, and that’s why I’m the starter.”

That’s true when Griffin is healthy. He was clearly not healthy on Sunday, especially after he tweaked his already-injured knee late in the first quarter. On a gimpy leg, Griffin tossed a second touchdown pass and staked the Redskins to a 14-0 lead over the Seattle Seahawks.

From that moment on, he was awful and a liability to his team. He couldn’t plant on his right leg or accurately throw the football downfield. He couldn’t run much either. He limped sideways for nine yards on one play, and you wondered why he stayed in the game.

Shouldn't rg be the douchebag instead of Whitlock?

Any time Whitlock can get mentioned on B&B is alright by me. I've never seen two guys do a complete 180 on their opinion of someone faster than when Jason wasn't working for ESPN anymore.

How about with Hub once he stopped working for the Bears?

I think their dislike of Hub was justified at the time. People criticize Zach for being a glorified Bears PR guy. Hub was a MUCH bigger Bears (Jauron) apologist than Zach will ever be.

B&B loved Whitlock and had him on to say as much. Almost a year later they had him on and shot one of his columns to bits. Very testy stuff. Think it may have been about Cutler knee injury. My memory isn't what it once was.

They had him on to talk about the Cutler Knee Game (tm). It was pretty cool, they just called him up and got him on. Whitlock didn't sound too hot.

He actually called them. Apparently people were tweeting him that B&B were ripping his column apart and he called in to defend himself.

He may have called in but he sure didn't do a good job of defending himself.

You can't make this stuff up!

Yeah, that was it. People were hitting him up on the twitter saying he was getting roasted, so he called. I can't remember what they called and stroked him for. Was it a Lebron article?

edit. a nod to tspeeps

He actually was on the Mac show like an hour before that and Mac and Spiegs as usual were a bit more diplomatic in their criticism of the column. Then during transition Boers and Bernstein were tearing Whitlock to pieces and he called back in response to the tweets shortly after the show started.

Zeph, do you remember what topic B&B had Whitlock on and told him how wonderful something he wrote was? It was about 6 - 9 months before.

I don't know why I read anything written by this idiot, but this still caught my eye:
Anyone care to recall what this slob's reaction was the last time a starting QB was no longer able to plant his foot in the playoffs and actually left the game?

Who's the blonde chick up there?

I wondered the same thing. She looks like a dirty little girl.
