Wonder how bad they are and if he'll be out into next season or not.

Apos		2013-01-07 08:45:23 PM

That's messed up, subby. Nicely done, though.

I was going to complain about the number of these threads, but the headline is worth it.

Palmer Eldritch		2013-01-07 08:56:30 PM

I have no photoshop skills, but I think another amusing graphic based off of the visuals of the phrase "RGIII" would involve the letter R, the letter G, and then a stylized silhouette of a person standing on one leg with two crutches. Unless someone's already done it.

fatalvenom		2013-01-07 08:58:34 PM

RG3 trifecta complete.

skinink		2013-01-07 09:09:46 PM

So, Redskins fans, how did it feel to have a franchise QB for all of one year before Shanahan wrecked that QB?

Mike_LowELL		2013-01-07 09:10:32 PM

This just proves that Robert Griffin the Third™ does not have what it takes to win a championship at the NFL level. Think about Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan never would have intentionally torn the ligaments in his knee in order to avoid the pressure of a playoff game. If I was Mike Shanahan, if I was Michael Jordan, I would be absolutely disgusted with Robert Griffin the Third™'s actions and I believe that he should be suspended for all of next season. Maybe sitting on the bench for an entire year will teach Robert Griffin the Third™ a little thing called "Michael Jordan".

Krustofsky		2013-01-07 09:11:34 PM

ESPN is reporting that he has partial tears of his ACL and LCL. A visit (and surgery) with Dr. Andrews will likely be in short order.

Hope the Skins enjoyed this playoff run, because next year just got a whole lot tougher.

Oh thank god. I just assumed im was dumb and didn't get it.

Palmer Eldritch		2013-01-07 09:21:14 PM

Some of those verbs and prepositions should also be replaced with Tim Tebow if you really want to be realistic.

Ok. That's funny. What add-on do I need for Chrome to see it?

jaylectricity		2013-01-07 09:22:56 PM

All he has to do is get HGH treatments to help repair that knee back to good condition. If he gets "caught" who cares? Sit out four games, then enjoy the millions of dollars he'll make by being in top condition again. Hell, maybe the Skins can "activate" him again a few games early so he can sit out his suspension for the last month of his recovery.

I use Chrome without any special add-ons and I can see it fine. Maybe it's cuz I have a brain.

Thanks for reminding me to look into some more Unicode-friendly fonts, subbles.

Oh, and R.I.P. RG3.

WI241TH		2013-01-07 09:41:12 PM

I'm on chrome on my phone and it shows up just fine.

Nice job subby

TheManofPA		2013-01-07 09:45:34 PM

Subby here, not sure why it isn't showing up in chrome. I had to look for the symbol since it wouldn't show up in my normal office. I did it with firefox if that helps people see it.

Britney Spear's Speculum		2013-01-07 09:46:52 PM

It doesn't show up on FF either

He can get prescription HGH most likely. I am pretty sure that is how AP recovered so quickly

Problem is it's also not showing up on Firefox....or at least Palemoon 64-bit.

litespeed74		2013-01-07 10:15:20 PM

I think it's safe to say a cat wouldn't shiat on that field.

thecpt		2013-01-07 10:25:23 PM

damnit, can we wait for an actual confirmation of what happened? Not some "may" bullshiat.

no clue honestly, I kept searching for a website that might have it. I actually see a stick-figure version of it and not the really cool version that King Speedy posted.

It feels about normal.
We can't have nice things.

Saw it just fine with Chrome.

IAmRight		2013-01-07 10:44:55 PM

Doesn't show up on Chrome on my phone. Knew what it was anyway from the other 1000 times I saw it yesterday.

FEAR NOT! FOR THE MASTER OF THE LIGAMENTS IS HERE!

The Smails Kid		2013-01-07 10:57:35 PM

RG3 is one of the most cerebral quarterbacks to come into the league in a long time. He's an intelligent QB in the mold of Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, and Tom Brady. He's a real gym rat, and spends hours in the film room.

He also has really big lips and a large nose.

mialynneb		2013-01-07 11:12:55 PM

I feel absolutely awful for RGIII but holy fark that made me laugh. Asshole, submitter! haha

LucklessWonder: Well, fark. It was nice to be relevant for a season...

There, there.

Normally, this is where I talk shiat about how irrelevant the Skins are, but I'm going to be honest and admit I've got no room to talk. So. I hope Bobby Onestick is back up & running before training camp. I'd love to see him play again, even if it is for the filthy dirty Redskins. I mean hey, at least it ain't the Eagles, amirite?

Ted Kennedy's Brain Tumor		2013-01-07 11:53:27 PM

Well, if nothing else, the Redskins will be able to determine the value of Kirk Cousins as a legitimate starting quarterback (against opponents who aren't the Browns). That could pay dividends as trade bait.
