A Redskins fan is so enamored of Robert Griffin III he had a likeness of the quarterback shaved into the back of his head. Last year's NFL darling has led the 'Skins to a disappointing 1-3 start in 2013, so I guess you could call the RG3 haircut this year's version of a "Fade."
Too soon?
Anyway, if you're stoked about getting this RG3 hairstyle you'll need to head out of D.C. because the intricate haircut was done by Illinois-based barber Jesus Cruz, who seems to have a thing for highly-detailed cuts. You can checkout other haircuts done by Cruz on his Instagram page. And some are pretty awesome.
One suggestion though. Get it without the granny glasses.
If the New York Giants have any chance of salvaging this season, it sounds like the team believes it will have to pin their slim hopes on the broad shoulders of a Manning or two.
If there was ever a good time for Giants quarterback Eli Manning to cash in on a family favor — it couldn't have come at a better time than this weekend.
As the Oh-and-four Giants regroup after Sunday's 31-7 shellacking at the hands of the Chiefs, salvation might come in the form of a quarterback from another team —namely Eli's big brother Peyton.
The division-leading Cowboys play Peyton's Broncos on Sunday and it sounded like Eli is already counting on that game as a win for his big brother and his seemingly unstoppable offense.
"Dallas is going to Denver this week, so we feel we’ve got to get a win here and hopefully we’ll get a win and we can be one game back," said the optimistic Eli on Monday.
The game is actually being played in Dallas, but Eli's point is taken.
Luckily for the pathetic Giants, every other team in the NFC East are almost as bad. The Cowboys are on top with a 2-2 record and the Eagles and Redskins each have one victory. Even with a four game losing streak to start the season, the Giants are only two games back.
The Giants have an opportunity to close the gap on Sunday. Don't discount what a little brotherly love can do.
An American Indian tribe in upstate New York said Thursday it will launch a radio ad campaign pushing for the Washington Redskins to shed a name often criticized as offensive.
The Oneida Indian Nation said the first ad will run on radio stations in Washington before the team hosts the Philadelphia Eagles in its season opener Monday night. In the ad, Oneida Indian Nation representative Ray Halbritter says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should "stand up to bigotry" by denouncing "the racial slur" in the team's name.
"We do not deserve to be called redskins," the Oneida leader says in the ad. "We deserve to be treated as what we are — Americans."
The radio ad said Goodell had rightly been critical this summer after the Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper was caught on video making a racial slur against African-Americans.
The ads launch as the Washington Redskins this year face a fresh barrage of criticism over their nickname, with local leaders and pundits calling for a name change. In May, 10 members of Congress sent letters to Redskins owner Dan Snyder and Goodell urging the team to change the name.
Snyder has vowed to never change the name and there was no immediate response from the Redskins organization.
The Oneida said the first ad will run Sunday and Monday on several stations in Washington — except on the station owned by Snyder.
WTEM, also known as ESPN 980, vetoed the advertisement instantly, according to an email stream that the Oneida Nation shared with USA TODAY Sports. Lewis Schreck, the radio station's senior vice president, used two words and seven exclamation points to reject the ad. "No way!!!!!!!"
Subsequent ads will run in Washington during home games and in the cities hosting the team when it is away. A spokesman for the Oneidas would not say how much the campaign would cost beyond "multiple thousands."
