Ryan Clark<\/a><\/strong> and Robert Griffin III<\/a><\/strong> are getting after it on social media again. The two former NFL players turned analysts rekindled their beef after some drama pertaining to the former Heisman Trophy winner and Angel Reese<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It all started when Griffin III claimed to have spoken with Reese\u2019s inner circle about her rivalry with Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark<\/a><\/strong>. On X\/Twitter, the Griffin III told Reese that she should \u201ctighten\u201d her circle instead of \u201ctrying to check\u201d him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke up in support of Angel Reese against racism not to start drama,\u201d Griffin III wrote.<\/a> \u201cBut I won\u2019t let anyone twist the truth just because it\u2019s inconvenient to them. Instead of trying to check me, just tighten up your circle. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey calling me and saying you hate Caitlin Clark, not the other way around. I have zero interest in being the villain in anyone\u2019s story. I just want to have fun, tell the truth and celebrate sports. But I won\u2019t pretend or lie just to protect feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story centered around Griffin III going after the fans who were attacking Reese for being on the cover of NBA 2K26. In the social media post<\/a>, Griffin III said people in Reese\u2019s inner circle talked to him about her relationship with Caitlin Clark, which ticked off the Chicago Sky star.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople in Angel\u2019s inner circle called me and told me I was right and Angel Reese has grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her,\u201d Griffin wrote. Reese saw the post later in the morning, and decided to go after Griffin III.<\/p>\n

\u201cLying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work,\u201d Reese wrote.<\/a> It\u2019s clear Reese doesn\u2019t believe that Griffin spoke to anyone close to her about her peer in the Indiana Fever star.<\/p>\n

That prompted the aforementioned Ryan Clark<\/strong> to take aim at Griffin III. He claimed the former pro quarterback was a liar and that he should just admit his mistake and move on from the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cDesperation will force you to make things up!\u201d the former NFL defensive back wrote<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s ok to take the L & move on some times. Lying just makes it worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alas, this is par for the course, as Ryan Clark has been a staunch defender of Reese throughout her rise to fame. In defending her and getting a shot off at someone he\u2019s had issues with in the past in Griffin III, he killed two birds with one stone. <\/p>\n

More on Ryan Clark, Robert Griffin III<\/p>\n

Additionally, the duo has found themselves embroiled in a social media war due to a situation regarding Reese before. In May, Ryan Clark had an issue with Griffin III, claiming that Reese hated Caitlin Clark, and his explanation on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be the fact that Aliyah Boston had to save Angel Reese from ending her career,\u201d Griffin said<\/a> about an incident between Clark and Reese during a Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever game. \u201cAfter the foul, Caitlin Clark put on Angel Reese, and Angel Reese tried to hit her. But if it wasn\u2019t for Aliyah Boston putting her arms in the way, Angel Reese would not be playing basketball anymore, because she was going to sucker punch Caitlin Clark. <\/p>\n

\u201cNow, you tell me a time when you\u2019ve seen somebody get fouled on a basketball court in a professional league, where they try to almost sucker punch somebody that they were friends with, because of a hard foul?\u201d<\/p>\n

All told, Angel Reese, who played at LSU<\/a>, is having a strong start to her WNBA career. The 23-year-old is averaging 13.3 points and 12.8 rebounds this year. In 2024, Reese finished second in Rookie of the Year voting (behind Clark) after averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s hoping to keep the focus on her play on the court. Meanwhile, Robert Griffin III and Ryan Clark seem to love to use her to argue with each other. It seems like this rivalry is going to be an everlasting one.<\/p>\n
