Robert Griffin III couldn’t help himself with his comment about Tyreek Hill’s children.
Griffin, who was fired by ESPN last month, started a back-and-forth with Hill when he wrote on X that a race between the star Dolphins receiver and champion pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis would “FEED FAMILIES” in response to a video of Duplantis winning a 100-meter dash against hurdler Karsten Warholm.
Hill had previously stated a desire to race American sprinter Noah Lyles, who took gold in the 100-meter dash at 9.784 seconds at the Paris Olympics in a thrilling photo finish; Duplantis came in at 10.37 seconds.
“ESPN I understand now,” Hill responded with a crying laughing emoji, taking a shot at RG3 over his recent firing by the network.
“Now I see why you got so many kids; everyone needs protection around you,” Griffin responded to Hill.
“Man brought my family into this,” Hill replied.
“You brought mine into. They impact too. And I ain’t even say nothing bad about you,” Griffin responded.
Hill reportedly has seven children with several different women and is expecting another with wife Keeta Vaccaro.
He was also hit with two paternity suits right after getting married in December.
Meanwhile, Griffin was fired by ESPN along with Sam Ponder in a surprising move by the network just weeks before the start of the college football and NFL seasons.
It is unclear why he was fired but he promised — and has yet to deliver — answers for the ousting.
Griffin’s initial joke at Hill’s expense includes an added detail that the pole vaulter ran the same speed as another NFL player during a 2021 track meet.
“Mondo Duplantis is the same speed as Seahawks WR DK Metcalf, who also ran 10.37 at a track meet in 2021,” Griffin added.
Hill previously claimed that he could beat Lyles in a 100m race, for which Lyles criticized Hill for “clout chasing” by using his name.
“What’s the cheetah guy from football, what’s his name?” Lyles responded to Hill. ” I can’t remember his name. What’s the football player who thinks he’s fast name?”
“Tyreek is just chasing clout,” Lyles added. “The man — anytime somebody fast comes up, he says he wants to race them. If he really wanted to race people, he would’ve showed up, like DK Metcalf.”
