As high-profile television firings go, ESPN cutting ties with former Baylor and NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III Thursday was a bit of a surprise.
Griffin—a well-liked figure with fans dating back to his playing days with the Bears, and a rising star said to have had two years left on his contract—took his firing in stride. The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner thanked his employer in a classy social media post.
However, Griffin appeared to change (or at least tweak) his tune Saturday morning, posting a more cryptic message.
"Nothing in this world is worth selling your soul for," he wrote.
Nothing in this world is worth selling your soul for.

With the quarterback out of a job and college football season looming in a week (and NFL season soon afterward), it seems safe to say this is not the last America will hear of Griffin in the digital sphere.
