RGIII cleared to start week 1

Hope it re-airs. I was at a fantasy draft party at the office and missed it...didn't DVR like a fool.

I got a room full of laughs when I drafted RGIII 9th overall. Morris was already taken or I would have taken him instead.

They won't be laughing later. It's risk vs. HUGE reward. I have faith in Robert this year.

(took Bradford as backup just in case) :D

From ESPN:

Encore presentations of “RGIII: The Will to Win” will air on ESPN2 beginning Saturday, Aug. 31, at 9 a.m. and within the ESPN Sports Saturday block on ABC (Aug. 31, 2 p.m.).

It's all semantics.

The story has been the Andrews will clear him to be allowed to play. Shanny will then decide if he DOES play. My guess is that Schefty has word that Shanny is going to let him play. But first Andrews will have to formally clear him.

Thanks, Boss.

Adam Schefter is pretty adamant that RGIII starting week 1 is official.. Says Andrews will clear him tommorrow but it's official now.

WE ALL KNOW RG3 IS STARTING THE FIRST GAME, this is not news. At worst it's 50/50.

This whole story is about to become a non issue on September 9th. We will all look back at our posts here and laugh when we see how well RGIII is moving around and throwing the ball. I just want to see how he does when he gets hit really hard. How quickly does he get back up and does it affect his play. THAT is the REAL TEST!

That's the one moment that's scaring me. Otherwise, I'm pumped for September 9.

8 am on Saturday. That 9 am info is wrong

Check your local listings folks.

So what you're saying is the news don't need to be reported since it's a foregone conclusion that RG3 is starting week 1?

Kinda goes to show how the players need to be protected from themselves with a mindset like that. When they're 50 and have early onset dementia they'll be singing a different tune.

Only if they remember the tune...
