Robert Griffin III rips his pants jumping into lake on ESPN
"The pants ripped all the way...I couldn't have planned it any better."
"The pants ripped all the way...I couldn't have planned it any better."
ESPN announced Monday that Van Pelt has landed the Monday Night Football pre-game hosting gig, and will be joined by Ryan Clark, Marcus Spears and Robert Griffin III.
RGIII says it's difficult to see the NFL cut jobs while cashing a $110 million check from Peacock to stream a single playoff game.
"Brady Quinn’s attempt to tear down CJ Strouds’ character was BOGUS." - RGIII
"I'm like head-over-heels excited about that process."
Jeff Saturday’s former ESPN colleagues almost unanimously lauded his character, making his potential return to the Worldwide Leader a little more palatable.
The game was wild. So was the broadcast.
"Regardless of my intention, I understand the historical context of the term that came out of my mouth, and I apologize."
"The older generation of viewers, they like the quote unquote boring style of analysis, the boring style of calling a game. Not really entertaining"
"Kyler Murray his whole life has had the answers to every athletic test that he’s ever taken...but there is a part of playing great quarterback that is going back to school."
RGIII absolutely nailed this question.
"This is another time when somebody has jumped the line."
Monday Night Countdown now features Suzy Kolber, Booger McFarland, Steve Young, Adam Schefter, Robert Griffin III, Alex Smith and Larry Fitzgerald Jr.
ESPN executives have reportedly been impressed with Griffin’s blossoming career as a broadcaster and sought to find him a larger role.
RG3' ESPN deal allows him to go back to explore playing options.
"Why have you never called me and said 'hey bighead?'"
This immediately raised questions about possible external influence on the decision, though Griffin and his team deny it.
"I'm going to detail the medical mismanagement that I received during my time in Washington. I'm going to open your eyes to the sexual harassment that permeated the walls of that building."
"So if you throw Tim Tebow in there, surround him with a structure, have about three or four previous head coaches on his staff to help him figure out the vision of his program, that's going to bring excitement to the Florida Gators."
"If your guy goes down, make the call. Wouldn't it be a great story?"
Griffin will be calling a weekly college football game for ESPN/ABC and also will be contributing to other ESPN CFB and NFL coverage.
Griffin could still return to play an eighth NFL season.
