You might be right. Honestly, I have trouble reading tweets at all, much less interpreting their actual meaning!

Haha! We're probably wasting our time trying to assign any great meaning to 140 characters of soundbite anyway. It might be best to assume that RGIII's teammates know him already, and will know his exact meaning.

This sort of over-anaylsis is exactly why I don't spend much time here during the offseason!

I applaud the leadership that I THINK this represents

I Lament the slow death of proper English.

Alright mate,
I was gonna shout you up actually, we've got you boys in a pre-season friendly at your gaff on Aug 4th and a few of us are going, but the wife is going on a hen night that day so now I'm f***ed!

I'm gutted, really wanted to see the new stadium, could've met up for a pint as well if you're going.

You'll just have to get promoted now!

I think LONDON is smart enough to know that RG3 is just trying to establish a bond with everyone. Got to be better than what London has been dealing with in past skins seasons. Players that just show up for a paycheck and not for the love of the game.

While I agree he didn't necessarily need to send that out to vets like Fletcher, I don't have a problem with it at all. And knowing the consummate professional and leader Fletch is.... I would be surprised if he were upset with it. I'm sure he's pumped that he has someone with mad skill that WANTS to be great and wants to win. You think Jamarcus "Purple Drank" Russell was asking people why they grind and displaying a hunger to WIN? Yea, you don't want him to come across as a cocky know it all, but I think it's safe to say that RG3 is not a me first or cocky guy at all. To me he comes across as hard working, humble, but also confident. So far I've be very impressed... Now here's hoping he can play ball!

Well, I am not a twitter pro...and I do not watch Fallon (on too late at night) but I agree with your take, Spenser. Heck, Russell was probably to busy mixing the cough syrup martini's to bother to tweet anything. I would think that Fletcher would actually be EXCITED to see this from the rookie. RGIII has already become the face of this franchise...supplanting Orakpo, Kerrigan, Fletcher, and others. It seems like he is earning respect from the locker room for his work ethic and practice habits, and veterans are actually excited about the potential of this team.

It is difficult to keep my expectations for this season down when I read items like this.....but I still think that this will be more of a team learning/building season than a playoff season....but should be a far more EXCITING season than in recent past....

CBKR,
I don't think if people didn't know what the# sign was WRT twitter then they would have no idea what a hashtag is since it is a Twitter only used term.

I'm not on Twitter, so I had no idea what a hashtag was, but it came up enough on TV that I had to look it up.
As far ao can tell hashtag is something that was needed on Twitter when the search engine for it sucked so they developed a # to group tweets together. But now using # is no longer needed. Of course I don't tweet, and never will, but that is my understanding of a #.

WRT the RG3 tweets, if any very feels they are out of line I'm sure they will let the rookie know his place;)

I have no idea what that's got to do with anything. But, to answer your question - who the hell is Jimmy Fallon? Lol.
