    I just hope his nickname doesn't end up being "Griff the Stiff".

    (Not that I think it will)

    "burlesk" spelled sideways is "lurk bs e", which is true in my case.

    Eddie "I'm gonna knock your ass out if you don't pass me the ball Cuttino" Griffin....

    Flows off the toungue easily, and I think it will describe the way he will play...

    Elvis Costello a Rocket's fan? I never knew. That's great. Still, I have to say that I haven't liked much of anything since King of America.

    "The Matador" could have been Charles Barkley's nickname, considering how he played defense [​IMG]

    How about "Foolish", after the movie whose main character was played by another Eddie Griffin.

    Eddie needs a short, one word nickname, something like Slim. Then we'd have Wink, Cat, Slim, and T Rock.

    for what it's worth, a Griffin (also spelled Griffon, Griffen, Gryphon) is more than just a winged lion. The front half is the body and wings of an eagle, the rear half is the body of a lion. Some variations of the legend depict the beast as also having the tail of a serpent or dragon.

    I am interested in hearing what Steve and Cuttino and the other guys on the team come up with for a nickname. I'm sure we will hear something from them before the year starts.
