Redskin Greenies

Post by TUPF »

Ryan Grant two catches for 44 yards and Kelly 18 tough yards on the ground. These two account for almost half of the Skins 137 offensive yards through halftime.

And idiots on twitter were bashing him because that's "all" he bought the kid. Rob answered some, saying he's not a millionaire like they were claiming and asking them what they were going to do.

If you want to be a real jerk about it, ask why the kid needed a SECOND Xbox. It was a nice thing for Rob to do but if anyone's "in the wrong" here, it's the kid who was complaining out loud that he didn't have two Xboxes.

Pete----The story I read first explicitly stated the kid didn't yet have an xbox. This version implies that he did (and this was the second). Don't know which is correct

On Twitter, Rob replied saying he wasn't a millionaire and challenged anyone questioning him to step up and buy one for someone next time. For the most part, the fans were supportive of him.

Btw, this was WDSU's tweet about the story:
NFL players buy an Xbox for boy wearing Kaepernick jersey bit.ly/2xRbrCL
To which I replied:

"Maybe a more appropriate headline would be one mentioning that one of the "NFL players" was Rob Kelley, a local HS and college athlete?"

Fat Rob started against Chiefs and carried on first play. Just broke off a 12 yard run.

Ryan Grant had a nice catch as he was falling down. Rob hurt his ankle in the first half and may not return.

Grant beat Marcus Peters on that TD. Looks to me like Grant has passed up Crowder as the Skins' slot receiver.

R Kelly is out for a while with a high ankle sprain. Too bad he misses playing against the Saints.

Game is the national game on Fox, I'm watching up here. I was thinking about y'all when I saw that. Grant has to be pretty psyched,being back in New Orleans and the dome.

Another nice night for Grant against the Cowboys. He is starting to become a factor in fantasy.
