Doctor never cleared RG3 to return to game despite what Shanahan said.

It's now officially Shannygate. His life as he knew it is over. This is going to be a huge scandal.

Wait til Snyder weighs in.

Hmmm, while looking for this item on the internet I found this:

NFL will look into Redskins’ release of info about Griffin’s concussion

Shanny is teflon....caught twice for cheating the salary cap and still have your reputation in tact....this to will slide off....especially if RGIII knee injury is not as bad as it appeared.

Biggest douchebag in the NFL.

I'd still love to have him on my team tho.

Being down here in DC, you get to hear all the Skins stuff on sports talk radio. Apparently Shanahan was saying RG3 was 100% and full speed in practice (without a brace) and thus implying that the brace was the issue in his play the last couple games (when it was clear just by watching that he was not 100%). Given what happened (going down twice without contact) you have to wonder a. what exactly the injury was because the grade 1 MCL sprain they claimed it was is a 2-4 week injury. He should have been significantly better by now and he clearly wasn't.

Anyway, the fallout from this should be enough to keep the talking heads around here busy until the draft.

Painful to watch him playing with this injury. Have to question Shanahan's priorities here.

Agreed. It became pretty obvious that RGIII was ineffective -- probably because of his injury. This is the playoffs, you do whatever you have to as a HC to win.
I heard some mediots saying RGIII had earned the right to keep playing. For me I just don't understand a playoff mentality like that. Take him out, let 'em heal, hopefully he is ready for the next game, get the win this week and stay alive. Seems pretty elemental to me for a HC to think this way. I don't know, maybe there is more to a HC's decision than as easy as this one seemed to be by the third quarter.
