ESPN Cast Off
I found that interview both revealing and confirmation. Most of what I heard yesterday confirms stories we have heard from multiple source. And this is exactly why you do not discount anonymous sources. Again Deep Throat was an anonymous source. They remain anonymous for obvious reasons, that does not mean they do not speak the truth. And when you hear it from so many different sources, well......
As the biggest Griffin supporter here I believed a lot of what I heard yesterday. And I also buy a lot of what is being said in this thread. There should be no question by now that Griffin acted like a douche. He lied to the coach about the injury, then threw him under the bus when he got hurt. He clearly walked in and demanded plays not be run. He actually got bent when Kirk did not run the read option When 2 different coaching staffs as well as the locker room, hate your guys that says it all.
With that said I will always put the blame on Shanny for keeping Griffin in during the Seattle game. I do however believe him when he says Dr. Andrews assured him that he was OK. I also understand the shit storm that Griffin would have caused had he been pulled, see the Baltimore and Cleveland games. So he was in a pretty tough spot for sure. Still he was the head coach and it was his call. But he was also 2 minutes from getting away with it if not for a bad snap by that clown Montgomery.
Yeah, I agree. While I have more sympathy for shanahan, he was the HC and if in his eyes he didn't think rg3 was ok, he could/should have pulled him. But his situation was very difficult, between dealing with a diva at QB that thought he knew it all and an owner that thought he new it all (apparently both still do), he was in a lose/lose situation. Much the same situation that Jay probably finds himself right now.
