Slowing the Hype Machine

On Wednesday, I got into an unintentional Twitter spat with Sarah Ellison, who covers the Ravens for the team’s official website. Ellison tweeted it was “big news” that the Ravens had signed RGIII to be their potential backup signal caller for 2018.

I thought otherwise.

To make a long story short, Ellison’s point was simple. Generally speaking, it was big news around the league. RGIII was out of football last year, and considering his initial talent level and the fact that he was the second overall pick just six years ago, it created a buzz on media outlets.
