Grit Is Undrafted Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers

RG3 Folds And Splatters Under Pressure

And to be honest you more like the latter. When the pressure is on you fold and splatter.

RG3 Did Subway Commercials — You Know Who Else Did?

RG Knee, so controversial. You know who else did Subway commercials?

RG3 Goes 4-12 Unless He Comes On The Podcast

Spoiler alert: RG3 goes 4 and 12. Unless he comes on the podcast, then he goes 10 and 6 and make the playoffs.

The Browns went 1-15 in 2016 — worse than even the 4-12 prediction. RG3 did not come on the podcast. The conditional remains untestable.

Quarterbacks Are Overpaid — Just Hand It To Woodhead

Overpaid quarterback with the eight-figure salary. Hand it to the man with the Energizer battery.

Danny Woodhead Watches Film All Day And Sleeps In His Car

Never goes home 'cause he always goes hard. Watches film all day, and he sleeps in his car.

Being Christian And Being Elite Are One And The Same

Christian and elite, those are one and the same.
