11:07 AM ET 01.13 | NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday he's satisfied that the Washington Redskins' handling of Robert Griffin III in last weekend's playoff game was based on "medical decisions." Despite showing signs of a knee injury, Griffin played deep into the game against Seattle. The rookie quarterback was eventually pulled from the game because of his injured right knee and had to undergo surgery on both his lateral collateral and medial collateral ligaments earlier this week. "People can argue whether it was the right decision or the wrong decision," Goodell said Saturday, speaking publicly about the injury for the first time, "but it was a medical decision and that's what we want it to be."

Blame the Jets, you will be correct more times than not

Not surprising, Goodell is as dumb as Shanahan. Skins will pay the price again for keeping him around.

If Baddell was OK with the handling of RGIII, that means the Redskins did not handle it correctly. Don't forget, Baddell is about to make a murderer his personal assistant.
