And a Redskins follow-up...not the last, of course!

NOW, in the wake of the previous post, Washington coach Jay Gruden has declared that Robert Griffin III WILL be the starter when the season starts in September.

Why?

I mean, why say it? What he's accomplished is to prove that NOBODY'S in charge in the District of Columbia (insert federal government joke here), since there are others in the Redskins organization who have made it CLEAR that Griffin is persona non grata there. Claiming Griffin - or anyone - is the starter NOW is like telling us what the political arrangement on the moon base will be when we haven't even established the base yet! All that's been accomplished is to put a target on RG3's back now, because any observer with a pulse will tell you it doesn't MATTER who goes into camp as the starter: someone will play their way IN or OUT of the job regardless.

But the soap opera just got a new plot twist...stay tuned.
