Around SBN: Robert Griffin III On NFL Combine: 'This Is A Business Trip'

Enhance Your Experience

SB Nation wants your feedback

Please excuse the Texas Hate Week interruption, but trust me when I say it's for a good cause.  Take the survey, let your voice be heard, do the right thing, and all that stuff.

As an incentive to participate, the three SBN sites with the highest percentage of completed surveys, will have a $500 donation to the charity of their choosing made on their behalf by the generous folks at SBN.

So help us out and if for no other reason, do it for the universal truth that can all collectively get behind.

Because Texas sucks!  (sure that made no sense, but it's Texas Hate Week baby!)
