Robert Griffin III has officially bitten off much, much, much more than he can chew. His mouth has written checks that his Black a** can’t cash. He’s tugged on Superman’s cape. There is an indigestible amount of dip on his chip.

BOSSIP has been covering the ongoing drama between the former NFL quarterback and WNBA Chicago Sky baller Angel Reese, as well as the subsequent reactions from social media users and even RGIII’s peers, such as ESPN’s Ryan Clark. However, no one has reacted to Griffin’s comments as forcefully as Shaquille O’Neal. During a recent episode of the Off The Record Podcast with Bailey Jackson and Lachelle Smith, the Lakers’ great took a moment to take off his sunglasses, look directly into the camera, and tell RGIII exactly what would happen to him if he didn’t stop talkin’ s**t about Reese.

“RG3? Tweet another monkey post about my girl Angel Reese and I’m going to punch you in your f***ing face. I don’t usually do stuff like this but just stop it, bro. You’ve got your job, you’ve got your podcast… leave my Angel Reese alone. I’m the one calling her and telling her not to respond. F***ing stop it. That’s the last time. Okay? Thank you. It’s not real hate. If you look around at what’s going on in this real country, that’s hate. This is sports. I’m not supposed to like you!”

Oh, but there’s more…

“It’s a shame that [for] all the stuff that you did in your life, you’re going to be remembered for a podcast. That should tell you that you’re not that f***ing great. Leave those girls alone, you already spoke on it. Let it go. Don’t pick on that little girl. Because guess what? I’m her protector. Now pick on me. And if you pick on me, I’m going to punch you in your f***ing face”.

The “monkey” that Shaq is referring to is a disparaging photoshopped image that RGIII retweeted while allegedly attempting to defend Reese against racist reactions to her being named to the cover of NBA2k26. Peep the podcast in full to see what else was on Shaq’s mind that day…

The Alabama Crimson Tide is welcoming another player to its roster for the upcoming season. Xavier Griffin committed to Alabama after deciding to forgo his offer at USC. He also dispelled rumors that retired coach Nick Saban was involved in recruiting him.

Griffin announced he will be joining the Crimson Tide on June 29.

Xavier Griffin is the highest-rated team member on the team for 2026

The linebacker is a five-star recruit, which makes him the highest-rated member of the class of 2026. Griffin originally committed to USC but decided to join Alabama following a visit in June.

“I just feel like it was unmatched,” Griffin told WAAY 31. “That’s what really made me feel more at home too.”

The student was born in Huntsville, Alabama, and grew up supporting the team.

“It’s a different feeling,” he said. “I always wanted to wear that (uniform) one day and then like, you finally get to… I don’t even know how to explain it, honestly.”

Griffin is looking forward to winning a championship, saying, “I think that’s what we’re going to do.”

Was Nick Saban involved in recruiting Xavier Griffin?

Fans have been speculating whether Saban, the team’s retired head coach, was involved in this year’s recruitment despite the team currently being headed by coach Kalen DeBoer. Griffin dispelled rumors and said he only met Saban once.

“The haters just want to talk,” Griffin said. “They said Nick Saban can’t save us and now they’re talking about (him) saving us. They’re just going to talk.”

Griffin’s mother also took to social media to counter talks that Saban was involved: “Let me make this clear for @zay_social recruitment when it come to Alabama. Makes me mad to hear @KalenDeBoer can’t recruit because our coach and his staff did a great job! I met Saban once but he is not the one that offered or talked to us at any point,” Jay Clay tweeted on July 5. “@crob45 was and is the that got my son to Bama!! Love our staff and can’t wait! Roll Tide”

Saban remains on the program’s payroll with a $500,000 annual salary, according to Al.com. He is reportedly present but not as involved as is being rumored. The retired coach met with three in-state recruits in late June, Ezavier Crowell and Cederian Morgan, who both committed, as well as Tank Jones, who has yet to announce his commitment to any school. According to insiders, these visits were a one-off rather than a regular occurrence.

The Crimson Tide has so far secured 19 commitments for its class of 2026.

Cornball Brotha: Robert Griffin III Says Angel Reese ‘Aided’ In Violent Threats Against His Family https://blaqly.com/sub/cornball-brotha-robert-griffin-iii-says-angel-reese-aided-in-violent-threats-against-his-family/ https://blaqly.com/sub/cornball-brotha-robert-griffin-iii-says-angel-reese-aided-in-violent-threats-against-his-family/#respond Fri, 11 Jul 2025 15:00:05 +0000 https://blaqly.com/sub/cornball-brotha-robert-griffin-iii-says-angel-reese-aided-in-violent-threats-against-his-family/ Source: Scott Taetsch/Getty Images/Tom Hauck/Getty Images / Getty You would think that Robert Griffin III had learned his lesson speaking on the ...

You would think that Robert Griffin III had learned his lesson speaking on the alleged “hate” that Angel Reese has for her caucasian colleague Caitlin Clark but alas, here we are again. RGIII previously faced the wrath of the wifi when he took to Twitter (we’re never, ever calling it “X”) to present “evidence” of Reese’s deep personal disdain for Clark by using video clips of the two women competing hard to win in a professional sport, something Griffin might not be familiar with.

Recently, Reese was announced as one of the featured covers this year’s wildly popular NBA2k26 video game and per usual, the racist trolls went out of their way to publish some of the most racist and misogynistic reactions to the news. Those reactions included photoshopping Reese off the cover in place of a monkey. So original.

Despite his past transgressions, RGIII attempted to come to Reese’s defense by posting a lengthy tweet that unnecessarily doubled-down on this past claim that Reese hates Clark. Additionally, he accused Reese of promoting violence against his family, sexual assault against his children, and harassment of his family and friends…

With “defenders” like these, who needs haters? If RGIII thinks that Angel’s video repost put his family in mortal danger, what does he think Angel Reese has been dealing with when men like him stoke the fires of racial tension? The call is coming from inside the house! For her part, Reese opted for a more succinct response to the former ball disrespectful diatribe…

Things got so bad for RGIII that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s daughter Bernice King had to fire up her Twitter machine to tell him to STFU and chill TF out. Not in those words exactly but the energy was clearly there.

We don’t expect Robert Griffin III to learn anything or reflect on his actions and that only goes to show that former ESPN writer Rob Parker was always right, the guy is just a cornball brotha.
