“I’m doing everything I can to help the team here,” Theismann said.

The legendary Redskins quarterback has done more than enough. A brief encounter on Friday evening with the hottest artists, with the hottest album (“Culture”), with two of the hottest tracks (“Bad and Boujee” and “T-Shirt”) in the country will do the trick.

It’s like a five-alarm fire with Migos, a trio of rappers out of the Atlanta area consisting of Quavo, Offset and Takeoff. They’re bigger than The Beatles. Anything the group touches becomes the next hot thing. Just ask the Atlanta Falcons Tom Brady, or the University of Michigan, or every artist that was carried by a feature from Quavo in 2016 (looking at you, YFN Lucci).

Those are the rules. I didn’t make them, but I abide by them. We abide by them. If you don’t, you’re washed. Again, the rules.

Because of Theismann’s affiliation with the Redskins, they are the natural beneficiaries. But Theismann didn’t know this. Heck, the 67-year-old had never heard of Migos before, but his instincts didn’t fail him. He was signing autographs with Hall of Fame defensive end Richard Dent at the NFL Experience in Houston leading up to Super Bowl LI, and Theismann said they were standing around while Migos was in the green room.

“I had a chance to say hello to them,” Theismann said. “Everybody said the kids are really, really hot. … I didn’t know a lot about them, but I do know the young world knows who they are.”

Theismann listened to the youth (as you should) and MigosTheismannTM was born.

We’ll ignore the fact that Theismann posted a screenshot of the picture, and that Migos wore Falcons gear, and acknowledge that he did it for the culture. Take it one step further, Quavo posted a video on Instagram of Migos flaunting their rings with Theismann and Dent.

“We’re going rings right?” Theismann said in the video as he entered the frame to display his Super Bowl XVII and 1983 NFC Championship rings.

“They had all their bling on, and Richard Dent and I had our bling on,” Theismann said. “There’s a video of us flashing all of our, I guess you could call it just flashing our diamonds. It’s fun to have something that you can at least be part of the group in when it comes to the bling.”

Only the chosen ones get to appear on Quavo’s Instagram. Theismann made the wise decision to wear his rings around rappers because rappers must stunt on social media with their jewelry, according to the rules, whereas Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith did not. The group made a classic song titled after the Dallas Cowboys legend, but look at how collectively disinterested the trio looks after receiving autographed jerseys from Smith.

That’s bad luck for the Dallas Cowboys, because rules are rules.

It was puzzling to wake up to Theismann on my Instagram feed on Saturday morning (I follow Quavo), but he made the most of this opportunity. He stole the moment, unlike Dent, who didn’t even bother to post it on his Twitter account.

More bad luck for the Chicago Bears.

As for the Redskins, they are hotter than they were before this encounter (see: rules).

You think I’m making this up? Peep the Twitter reaction from the fanbase, because Twitter doesn’t lie.

And then there’s this scientific Twitter poll that confirms the Redskins’ chances of reaching Super Bowl LII have increased now. Twitter polls don’t lie either, according to the rules.

Once he was informed of the significance, Theismann took it one step further.

“You know what I’m probably going to do?” Theismann said. “I’m probably going to get the picture made and stick it around my desk or get a little pendant hanging around my neck if it’s that good luck.”

That’s the spirit.

Sure, the Redskins need to upgrade their talent across the board on defense, re-sign either DeSean Jackson or Pierre Garcon and figure out whether they will finally reach a long-term deal with Kirk Cousins this offseason. But you already knew this. We’ve written about it nonstop for the past month, and we’ll continue to write about it over the next month.

But Theismann did it for the culture. And we must acknowledge the implications.

So if, or should I say when, the Redskins make the Super Bowl next year, remember this as the turning point. Theismann does it again. Give him more rings, Daniel Snyder, so he can stunt some more next year.

“I’m doing everything I can to get us to Minneapolis next year,” Theismann said. “I’m doing my little part.”

It’s bigger than you even know, Joe.
