"Forget about being MVP"

As NFL.com walked with the Redskins' rookie class through the Hall of Fame, many moments stood out that weren't simply about treasuring players of past. At one point, Griffin pulled out his iPhone to take a photo of a quote from Lynn Swann that was painted onto one of the walls.

"Forget about being MVP; forget about being in the Pro Bowl," the quote reads. "Those things are nice consolation prizes if you don't get a Super Bowl ring."

As he took the photo, Griffin said, "I've got to print that one out."

Glad to see RG3 has his mind in the right direction. Lovin this kid more and more.

Only a few minutes later, standing beside a case that showcased a Super Bowl ring from every year's winner, an employee of the Hall of Fame showed the Redskins that they were represented three times in the display.

"That's not enough rings," Griffin said. "We've got to get more."

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/28/fred-davis-is-representing-himself-in-a-bizarre-lawsuit/

It’s the Summer of Law for the NFL, and the latest piece of legal news relates to a fascinating case that somehow has remained off the radar screen for more than a year.

Redskins tight end Fred Davis was sued in early 2011 by Makini Chaka, a 33-year-old self-described “celebrity broker,” who says she organizes parties for famous people. Luke Mullins of the Washingtonian tells the story of the litigation and its various twists and turns, including the fact that Davis has been acting as his own lawyer.

And it shows.

It’s just all made up and flagellant,” Davis told the judge during an April 10 hearing.

Chaka, who also is representing herself, claims Davis dumped juice on her head and busted her lip at a D.C. nightclub. She also has accused Davis in court documents of assaulting, harassing, and threatening to kill her. Chaka obtained a temporary restraining order in January 2011, which she has since claimed Davis violated.

The court proceedings have included Davis accusing Chaka of procuring prostitutes, an allegation Chaka has denied. The April hearing featured an exchange regarding whether Chaka has her hand on a man’s genitals in a photograph.

Davis: “As it shows, you also have your hand on his genitals. I mean why would you take a picture like that?”

Chaka: “I do not. Let’s look closely at the exhibit right here, Judge. Where is my hand placed in this exhibit?”

Judge: “I do not answer questions. . . . The witness does.”

Chaka: “Can you tell me where my hand is actually at in this photo?”

Davis: “It looks like it’s in the genitals to me. I mean your hands are on his genitals. Your hand is on his –”

Chaka: “Objection.”

It’s unclear why Davis, who signed a one-year franchise tender earlier this year with the Redskins, doesn’t have a lawyer. Though it may not be the smartest move Davis ever made, it’s sure to provide even more entertainment as the litigation continues to unfold.

Trial is set for March 11, 2013. Here’s hoping that one of the litigants requests a change of venue to the courtroom of Judge Sapp.

I like the guy personally, an imbecile like grits won't change that.

I hope he can live up to the hype though, I don't have a lot of faith in the redskins staff honestly. He will have his rookie struggles at some point, people won't be quite as kind as they are now. Change is a good thing, but when the new car smell wears off and the heat is on we will really get to see rg3.

You are good for a pity laugh here and there, thats about it.

Remind me again why you aren't welcome at the redskins board? If they can't even stand your company why do we have to be subjected to your ignorance on a daily basis?

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
