    This thread proves TV viewers have no idea how to decide who's good. RG3 was great on games.

    RG3 is an evangelical Christian who left his first wife and their infant daughter for a hot Estonian athlete.

    He did make me laugh sometimes though

    He's definitely a cornball, but seems like a decent person. Was awful to listen to during games. Tried too hard.

    I thought RGIII was better as an analyst than media personality. He's corny in everything he does, but that played better on TV than Twitter, IMO.

    Agree 100% but as someone who grew up in an evangelical family and church I have a low regard for people who profess one thing while their actions contradict it.

    I was on the fence, but this swayed me. RG3 deserves to come back/get hired at a competitor.

    For real though, he never bothered me as a commentator. Mainly because he was usually calling noon games with unranked teams that needed someone saying goofy shit to make it more interesting. Maybe not ready to be a prime time guy though.
