I can’t verify that Robert Griffin III took a shot at Michael Vick Saturday on Twitter. But the truth that Griffin tweeted out a paraphrased model of what Vick stated Fox NFL Kickoff, it’s not farfetched to imagine that these feedback didn’t sit proper with RGIII.
On the printed, Vick stated Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson ought to “put a brace on it and get it going.” Just a few hours later, Griffin tweeted out that those that imagine that Jackson ought to merely placed on a brace and go play “need to get their head out of their ass.”
Griffin didn’t tag Vick, NFL on Fox, and even quote tweet the video. However, him sending that tweet on Saturday, and speaking a couple of brace, it’s much more probably that he was upset with Vick than with what Sammy Watkins stated on Wednesday, or something different criticisms levied at Jackson final week.
While Vick’s feedback had been insensitive, what Watkins stated was ridiculous, suggesting to the Washington Post’s Adam Kilgore that the Ravens put Jackson on the sector for passing performs solely, and don’t permit him to run. Great resolution, due to course there received’t be 250-plus pound individuals diving at his legs whereas he’s attempting to throw.

Vick wasn’t even the only person on the Fox set on Saturday who had some issues with Jackson. Sean Payton went first, and he said that he has heard there are some “grumblings” in Baltimore about how long Jackson’s recovery is taking. Payton also offered up the hot take that Jackson will transfer on from the Ravens in the course of the offseason. Charles Woodson stated, “I don’t know if I would have the balls to sit out.”
Both Woodson and Payton did push again towards Vick for truly saying that Jackson ought to play on that sprained MCL. Also, despite the fact that Jackson detailed what’s unsuitable together with his knee, it’s the Ravens who listed him as out for his or her Sunday evening matchup towards the Cincinnati Bengals.
The media beef we deserve
Vick shouldn’t have stated that an injured participant ought to take the sector.
But Griffin’s tweet was a bit performative, particularly when it seems that objected to what Vick stated, however didn’t point out him. Let’s get extra sports activities media individuals going after one another.
The studio exhibits can be extra enjoyable when the individuals within the fits behind the desk don’t get alongside. The Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe stress has been each entertaining and awkward in current weeks, however Bayless has gotten into it with individuals on the debate desk for many years. Getting upset with him is like being offended concerning the solar within the summertime.
It could be good for there to be some information sports activities media beef, however sadly Griffin didn’t lean all the way in which into it. He despatched out fairly the strongly worded social media submit, however didn’t put an deal with on it.
RGIII vs Vick may have been nice. Maybe they may’ve settled it with a 40-yard-dash like within the episode of Atlanta when Vick was racing individuals on the street. Unfortunately, we’ll probably by no means know what may’ve been.
