Rams subtly remind Redskins of RGIII trade before kickoff

WASHINGTON — “Trolling” is generally an Internet term, but the concept has often leaked into the real world. And if you don’t know what trolling is — well, it’s this.

The St. Louis Rams easily beat the Redskins, 24-0, at FedExField on Sunday, but in one way Washington got bested before the game even began.

The Rams, as Redskins fans no doubt remember with a wince, are the team to whom Washington traded a passel of draft picks in 2012 for the pick with which they got quarterback Robert Griffin III, who was coming off a Heisman Trophy-winning college season — and who was benched a couple of weeks ago.

The Rams turned those picks into six important players — Janoris Jenkins, Michael Brockers, Zac Stacy, Stedman Bailey, Greg Robinson and Alec Ogletree — and, as reports, coach Jeff Fisher sent those six players out for Sunday’s coin toss.

The true beauty of the move? The Redskins, as evidenced by their Vine account, didn’t even realize it:

But hey — Griffin made it into the game Sunday. He even, um, completed three passes … oh, never mind. Well played, Jeff Fisher.
