And Here Is Today's Clippers News (That's Only News Because It's The Offseason)

Blake Discusses Meek Mill

Well, that was suuuuper politically correct, and in turn, also pretty goddamn boring. Blake Griffin pretty much said nothing about anything. Although, given the line of outrageously stupid questioning, I can't really blame him too much. You really want to know how Blake Griffin feels about Meek Mill? Watch carefully. That hearty laugh he lets out when Meek's name is first mentioned? That's how he feels about the beating of the dead horse that is Meek Mill's career. Hell, it's how everyone feels about it. Try to bring up Meek Mill in conversation, and no matter what the question is, someone in attendance is going to give you that very same laugh. That name will never not remind at least one person of the time Drake eviscerated a man's masculinity in the span of ten bars. It probably took every amount of will power in Blake's body not to let out a "is that a world tour or your girl's tour?" right in that reporter's face. He was probably one alcoholic beverage from a "make sure you hit him with the PRE-NUUUP!".

I got to give Blake credit. He always seems overwhelmingly cordial with the paparazzi. Yeah, I know he gets paid millions for what he does, but my God, I had to actively make myself pay attention to those questions and I started out fairly interested in what he was going to ask. With the amount of exposure Griffin faces on a day to day basis, it's downright impressive that he makes time for people this moronic. I guess it's a good thing he kept his glasses on so this schmuck couldn't see him rolling his eyes at every half assed talking point.

I don't want to hate on the defensive technique of two point guards playing cornerback so I think I'll just stick to wondering what they were thinking. Come on guys, when you are going one on one in football the offensive player is going deep every single time. Did you guys even have a real childhood or were you to busy shooting 3,000 foul shots a night? No one lines up across from their friend with any intention other than making them look stupid. If you beat your opposition on a 5 yard curl route you basically lost the matchup. It's touchdown or bust. That doesn't mean you give a looser cushion, but at least prep the hips to turn and run backwards to fight for the ball. Literally one rule, don't get beat deep. Don't give the "crowd" the opportunity to let out on "OHHHH!". This is day one playground shit ladies. I know you aren't used to giving up an inch defensively, but Christ, it's a hell of a lot better than getting beat by a mile.

P.S. Is it October yet?

Hot route on @e__payton after workouts this morning! #D1Sports
