WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- In a letter to Native American leaders, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell explained his take on the Washington Redskins name and why "from its origin" it has "represented a positive meaning".

The letter, which Goodell sent to Tom Cole and Betty McCollum, the co-chairs of the Congressional Native American Caucus, was dated June 5 and is attached to this story.

"Public opinion aside, the Washington Redskins name has been confirmed in a legal context," Goodell wrote.  "When the matter was considered by the D.C. federal district court, the judge ruled against the plaintiffs and recognized that the name has been used by the team in a respectful manner."

I've been a skins fan for decades, so I understand the hunger for the littlest taste of our favorite team during the long lean months of the off-season.  

You know RG3 is my guy. However, am I the only one starting to think this media obsession with every move the guy makes is getting a bit out of hand, even a little creepy?

I knew it was bad when a few Robert Griffin jumping jacks made headlines.  

I guess I shouldn' t have been surprised to see so many of you have the nerve to actually buy him wedding presents. He did register after all.  

But then today there was this: a photo spread on Rg3's new home, complete with the 2-point-3 million dollar price tag and pictures of the man's bathroom.  

Yes it has come to that. 

Now beyond the fact that none of this has the slightest to do with football, it's starting make me a nervous.
