UnBlakeable!

Blake Griffin doesn't have a nickname. Blake Griffin deserves a nickname as awesome as Airman or Black Mamba. Yet, Blake Griffin can be the first influential athlete in history that doesn't have a household nickname: Blake Griffin itself can be a name tag for this incredible kid. I really like what the NBA Web site has done for introducing the spectacular highlights of the kids by naming the video series: High Griffinition.

Also, I'd like to share my idea about a nickname for Blake the Amazing Griffin, UnBlakeable! 

I was never a Clippers fan, because as a former Sacramento Kings fan, Los Angeles used to a place to me next to hell. However, since there's just one story between hell and heaven, and I found the story at the beginning of my second year at USC Annenberg graduate school for Communication & Journalism: The Los Angeles Clippers. 

As an intern at the Fan Relations and Services Department, I have the great opportunities to communicate with all season ticket holders, all of whom, to me, are unbelievably loyal die-hard Clippers fans, including Baron Davis and the one and only @sportsguy: Bill Simmons.

My experiences at the Clippers not only taught me how thrifty their owner is, but most important of all, it taught me how amazing the staff including the players are! I love my boss, my colleagues, and me fellow interns. And with days advance, I'm gonna love everything about the Clippers more and more because:

They all love sports, they all play Fantasy Football, they all treat the team as their own child. That's what team, family, dream is all about.

Speaking of team and dream, with my New Orleans Saints long gone this early in this playoff, I've only got the Jets left to root for.  I hate that Pete Carroll broke my heart twice within a year by abandoning my school and astounding my team. If only Reggie Bush can play strong against his former beloved coach for his current beloved coach!

This reminds me, most sports fans have got a problem tomorrow.  Which game to watch tomorrow? With three TVs at home, it's no big problem to solve.

I'll keep an eye on the Staples Center Derby (Lakers V.S. Clippers ) while keep the other eye and my entire focus on the NEW YORK-ENGLAND EPIC. What to do with my 3rd TV? I can tune into Australian Open since my Henin has returned! Go Jets! Go Sanchez!
Anyhow, shoulda, woulda, coulda~ I'll be with my Saints no matter what for however long!

As for the other New Orleans team, I just cross my fingers for my Hornets to find their next owner as soon as possible and as dis-Shinn as possible. Other than sharing the same lame characteristics of stingy, the two most terrible owners in sports history also share the same initial in their last names. I weep for Mr. David Stern, a wise man I've always been looking up to.

If I have enough money, I'd spend it all on purchasing the team of the New Orleans Hornets. A promising city with a promising crew. Nevertheless, I haven't got that much money. All I've got now is a to-be-honed power of convincing to taunt a potential buyer to bring buck and luck to CP3's team! Finger crossed!

Another of my favorite team, former favorite team, Sacramento Kings, may become Anaheim Kings in future. That to me, is like to place all UCLA basketball players in Galen Center as their home court. Unacceptable, unforgivable and unreasonable! So please, Maloof bros, at least keep the Kings away from the great county of Los Angeles and Orange! I don't care if it's Las Vegas Kings or San Jose Kings!


Fight on! Blake on!
