[joeybee12]

After reports of Blake Griffin suffering an alleged, strange hand injury, new details have emerged, and it looks bad for Griffin.
According to an ESPN report, Griffin broke his hand after hitting a member of the Clippers' equipment staff during an argument.

ESPN's Michael Eaves reported that the incident occurred at a restaurant and that Griffin hit the staff member multiple times. ESPN's report said it happened at a stop in Toronto during a road trip.

Griffin reportedly hit the staff member inside the restaurant before the staff member went outside, where Griffin followed him and hit him again. The staff member was reportedly treated at a local hospital.

If true, Griffin is scum.

1. Was it about a steak, like Clarkson on Top Gear?

2. Who did Clarkson hit?

I sort of recall why the vermin was fired, but not entirely.

3. One of the show's producers.

In March 2015, Clarkson was suspended by the BBC from Top Gear following a "fracas" with one of the show's producers.[30] It emerged that Clarkson had been involved in a dispute over catering while filming on location in Hawes, North Yorkshire.[135] Clarkson had been offered soup and a cold meat platter, instead of the steak he wanted, because the hotel chef had gone home.[136]

4. What an a**hole...

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

5. If true, in addition to being scum

what sort of professional athlete gets injured punching a staff member? Did the staffer have abs of steel or is Griffin an idiot who doesn't know how to punch without hurting his hand to the point of injury?

6. Except For Kermit Washington. . .

. . .have you ever seen an NBA player throw what looked like a good punch? There have been plenty of fights on the court and the punches always look more like slaps. Nothing is lined up.

Now, if he has a green twig metacarpal break because he made REALLY solid contact, then: I don't see how that would take 4 to 6 weeks to heal, and; the other guy would probably be in worse shape, given Blaine's strength.

My guess is he landed the punch poorly because he didn't throw any punches well.

7. I'm thinking liquor probably played a role

and until this happened I didn't realize Griffin was involved in a similar incident...what an idiot.

8. Well, That Sure Could Be

Some people get mean when they're loaded. Fortunately, i don't know any personally.

9. I always heard liquor makes you more of who you are...

If you're a happy person, you're a happy drunk...etc.
