The beef between Robert Griffin III and Jay Gruden took one other flip Thursday night time when the previous NFL quarterback put the previous Washington soccer coach on blast for an incident that occurred whereas the pair have been within the nation’s capital.
Griffin advised a narrative on his podcast about Gruden and shared a clip of it on social media wherein Gruden responded.
“There was a second that occurred in D.C. that’s vividly remembered,” Griffin begins off saying within the clip. “Jay Gruden went to a press convention and he undressed me at that press convention in a manner a coach ought to by no means undress his beginning quarterback. It was after a sport and I stated within the press convention that ‘the very best gamers within the NFL have the fellows round them play at a particularly excessive stage. Nobody is on the market doing it on their very own.’
“Now the media pundits and everybody took that and say RGIII threw his teammates below the bus. And I needed to eat that for a very long time as a result of Jay didn’t again me within the media the subsequent day. He doubled down on it and truly picked me aside within the media.”
That’s when Griffin stated that there was extra to the story and that Gruden had made him out to be the scapegoat.
“What individuals don’t know is that the one cause I went to that press convention and stated what I stated to problem my teammates by way of that press convention, was as a result of Jay Gruden requested me to do this,” Griffin stated.
“What harm me about that after I did that within the press convention, not solely did Jay Gruden not have my again, however he truly burned me with it the subsequent day. He truly got here out the subsequent day and burned me within the media. He got here out the subsequent day in our crew assembly room and burned me in entrance of my teammates.”
The previous QB then stated that he stood up and apologized for what he had stated throughout a crew assembly, however it has all the time caught with him what Gruden did.
“It’s the truth that he has zero self-awareness and 0 integrity, as a result of despite the fact that he requested me to do one thing he didn’t have the balls to have my again,” Griffin concluded.
Gruden, who has been very lively on social media, replied to the clip after it was posted.
The previous coach merely replied: “You actually wanna play this sport?”
He then posted to X “go race a pigeon” together with a clip of Griffin racing a hen.
Gruden and Griffin had already been going backwards and forwards on social media earlier within the week and Gruden even went as far to take a shot at Griffin in a submit on X that he reportedly deleted earlier within the day on Thursday.
“You weren’t adequate,” he allegedly wrote within the deleted submit. “Kirk was higher. Cleveland didn’t need you. Baltimore [didn’t] both. Give up blaming me.”
Griffin had performed for Gruden in 2014 and was finally benched for Kirk Cousins after he dislocated his ankle early within the season.
