Lenny: "Skitch", how did we get here?
Guy: I led you here, sir, for I am Spartacus.

If the Washington Redskins unexpected rise as NFC East champions and playoff team were a feel-good Hollywood movie, there can be no doubt that one Robert Griffin III would be our Spartacus.

With the Redskins just 3-6 midway through the 2012 NFL campaign, fans were doing that thing they...

I mean the winning we were once used to, the “winning begets winning” of George Allen,...
