RG3 Time in DC

Robert Griffin III is one of the most highly rated recruits in all of football right now. The Heisman Trophy winner gives the Washington Redskins new life and something to look forward to for next season. The Redskins originally had the 6th pick in the 2012 draft but made arguably the biggest move in history to get the 2nd pick. They traded three first round picks and a second round pick to receive this years 2nd pick. Griffin III is likely to be drafted by the Redskins and become an immediate factor in their offense. Washington D.C. is my hometown and I am really glad that the Redskins fans have something to cheer about again.  I certainly am looking forward to watching RGIII perform on the field this upcoming season.

Deron Williams Sets Franchise Record

Last night Deron Williams set a franchise record for points scored during a single game. Although it was against the worst team in the NBA (Charlotte Bobcats), this is still a great achievement. Williams is known as one of the leagues most dominating scoring point guards. He had the game of his life putting up 57 points and lead the New Jersey Nets to a 104-101 victory over the Bobcats. This is quite an achievement because it has never been done in franchise history and it is the highest point total scored in a single game for the entire 2011-2012 NBA season.

Sad Day for Steeler Fans

A couple of days ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers notified Hines Ward that he was going to be released. The main reason for the Steelers organization making this decision is because they need to clear salary cap space in order to resign younger players. Hines Ward is not only one of the best receivers in Steelers history but in NFL history. During his 14 year career he had 1000 catches, 12,083 receiving yards and 85 touchdowns. Certainly a first ballot Hall of Fame player in my eyes. The fans and the city are sad to see him go but in the end it is a business and they need to clear salary cap space. Hines Ward will always be a good role model to kids and a service to his community. Steeler Nation has best wishes for Hines Ward. We will miss you!
