Building An Empire:
Debating The Future Worth Of RGIII

CBS News [Washington, DC], by Candice Leigh Helfand

Original Article

Posted By:Howard Adams, 12/29/2012 9:44:11 PM

Robert Griffin III is not only taking the National Football League by storm, but the Washington Redskins rookie quarterback is already building himself a brand in the mold of Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Peyton Manning. To say Griffin’s play has been superb to date is selling him short. {Skip} “One advantage I believe he does have is the great education he received … and his military background and really strict upbringing,” he told CBSDC. “All of those things will really benefit him in the long run – [he is marketable] on and off the field.”

Comments:
There will be plenty on non-Redskins fans who become "RGIII fans". Let´s contrast the "cornball brother" quote by ESPN Sports analyst Rob Parker. "...He´s not one of us. He´s kind of black but he´s not really, like, the guy you want to hang out with because he´s off to something else."

The guy is marvelous (and a black Republican) but he is just one head shot away from being Colt McCoy.

RGlll is a conservative, black, Christian, super athlete and the polar opposite of black America and the libnut socialists.

He must not be allowed to harm their causes. Given time and circumstances, the media will begin to dismantle him.

He´s a champion in my eyes. And he isn´t pretending to be Abe Lincoln.

Say it ain´t so, Joe! /s

Wow, a positive role model in the NFL!! What a concept! I hope the lefties don´t get a chance to tear him down.

I know little of the sports world but, I can tell you what will happen. This seemingly model athlete will be hounded by the press, the sportscasters, the networks, and media as a pariah and anomaly. He has the moxy and self respect to know what is going on and I hope he crams it down their collective throat.

His running prowess will need to be reined-in a bit, sooner than later, before he incurs enough bodily damage from open-field hits to hobble his game (or enough concussions to end his career early).

The history of QBs with similar styles (like Michael Vick) demonstrates the need for him to transition into more of a pocket passer to survive the beating taken from bigger, faster NFL defenders.

What´s encouraging is that RGIII did that this past game, and he did it well. As a lifelong ´Skins fan, I´m thrilled to have him, and I hope he can stay around a long time.

The idiot Parker going off on this kid was a real blindside terd in a punchbowl for him. Parker is obviously a black purist and a poison to society.

I don´t know who remembers the Limbaugh flap when he worked for ESPN a while but he got fired for basically saying the NFL had a vested interest in a successful black QB.It turns out he was right as we´ve seen the last couple years as Vick has faded and Newton and Griffin have emerged.This episode was one of the weapons the left used against Limbaugh when he tried to be part owner in the Rams.Accoring to Limbaugh,Tom Jackson,another ESPN panelists threathened to quit if Limbaugh didn´t go,so bye,bye Limbaugh.

This just shows how the wrong kind of free speech can damage someone.If you don´t agree with the left when you´re supposed to,they will gnaw at you until you´re destroyed...

People like Parker would take Lebron James as a role model any day over RGIII which is a very sad commentary,given the lack of positive role models for all kids,not just black ones.

France says 75 per cent
tax will apply to footballers
Agence France-Presse, by Henry Samuel    Original Article
Posted By: Howard Adams- 4/2/2013 8:52:00 PM     Post Reply
France will lose its best footballers due to President François Hollande’s “crazy” 75 per cent tax on millionaire earners, the country’s football league warned on Tuesday, after a failed attempt by leading players to avoid the levy. The supertax, a key electoral promise, has already sent several Gallic public figures, including Gérard Depardieu, the actor, running for fiscal cover. The levy, which looked like it was going to be shelved, was revived last week by the Socialist president, who stipulated that companies, not individuals, will now foot the bill.

Denver - A popular hunting shotgun could be banned under one of the bills moving through the state Capitol. A pump or semi-automatic shotgun is the gun most hunters in Colorado use. It’s a gun state Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, says could be banned under a bill that’s already passed the House and Gov. John Hickenlooper says he’ll sign. “They’re coming after the standard shotgun,” Brophy told CBS4 Political Specialist Shaun Boyd. Brophy says if Democrats succeed in passing a bill limiting large capacity magazines in Colorado, they’ll outlaw the most popular selling firearm for hunting.

SWEETWATER — Texas set a record this month. “Thirty-two percent of the electricity on the grid was from wind energy,” said Greg Wortham. “The previous record was last month at 28 percent, the previous record before that was November with 26 percent.” Wortham is the mayor of Sweetwater and the executive director of the Texas Wind Energy Clearinghouse, a group that started in 2004 with its focus primarily on West Texas but now “does international marketing and strategy development for the wind industry sector” statewide.

NPR reports on a new federal cost-cutting move: Every month, the government sends out about 5 million checks to Americans who receive federal benefits. On March 1, the Treasury Department is making those paper checks a thing of the past. Since May 2011, all new Social Security recipients are required to get direct deposit of their benefits. Some 93 percent of all recipients now do. But there are still holdouts, so the Treasury Department started a campaign and a website, Go Direct, in an effort to convince the remaining 7 percent.

Chapel Hill, NC - Hopes for overhauling the federal tax system are fading in Washington, but in some state capitals, tax reform experiments - some far-reaching - are fast taking shape. Across the South and Midwest, Republicans have consolidated control of state legislatures and governorships, giving them the power to test long-debated tax ideas. Louisiana Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, for instance, called on Thursday for ending the state´s income tax and corporate taxes, with sales taxes compensating for lost revenue. A similar plan is being pushed by Republicans in North Carolina. Kansas...

The governor did not release details of his proposal, but his office released a statement confirming that the taxes are targets of a broader tax reform plan. "Our goal is to eliminate all personal income tax and all corporate income tax in a revenue neutral manner," Jindal said in the statement.

Disgraced ESPN talking head Rob Parker issued a full-on apology for his racially inflammatory remarks about Robert Griffin III that set off a media firestorm and earned him an indefinite suspension from the network.

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Is Anthony Weiner completely delusional? Or is he out of his flipping, sex-crazed gourd? Whatever big-busted fantasies crawl around the ex-congressman’s delirious noggin, la Weiner made his next goal as clear as the skin of the wholesome college students he craved: He relishes being Mayor Weiner. Please, shut up this clown. These days, the genitally obsessed Weiner has nothing much to do, except sit in his lavish Manhattan apartment and — the inhumanity! — change the poopy diapers of his 16-month-old son, Jordan. Worse, Weiner is living under a kind of house arrest, sentenced to take extreme grief

Seven hundred Military Special Operations professionals. And one insistent and very angry Mom. This is becoming a deadly combination for the political game players in the Obama Administration. Sean Smith, the young State Department computer wizard who was brutally murdered that September night in Benghazi, was Pat Smith’s only child. Let’s say that again. Sean Smith was Mrs. Smith’s only child. To listen to her recent radio interview with another Sean… Sean Hannity… is to have the heart break.

Within the next few decades, carbon emissions could cause global temperatures to rise between 4 and 11 degrees Fahrenheit, melting ice caps and causing sea levels to rise. The price of crops like coffee and chocolate will skyrocket, and countless cuddly animals around the globe could be wiped out. And yet, a lot of people find it hard to really care about climate change. But don´t be fooled: Climate change will affect you.

Through an attorney, Stutzman declined to change her position.“As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington,” said Ferguson. “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate
