There were a lot of people who were very excited about the news that the Washington Commanders had been sold. The difference for ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III is that he was on television when he caught wind of this news.

Lots of NFL teams got creative with their schedule releases this year. Some — were hilariously funny, like the one the Titans put out. Others, well, others could’ve saved some time and just dropped the schedule in a graphic on Twitter and called it a day.
The Cardinals had a pretty decent reveal in which they essentially put out a playlist with each song on it mocking one of their opponents.
