Did Anybody see this strange mention of Griffin by Ralph Wiley?

We're seeing this third hand. Wiley is (supposedly) reporting on a rumor he heard from someone else (who may not be the names he quotes but more so, the and them crowd). It may not be literal. It may be totally made up. It may just be that in Dub's circle, scumbag is a euphemism for a Houston Rocket player.

If Griff is hanging out with a bunch of nasties, why hasn't that broken in the Chronicle first?

Dave.

 

Cool, he's probably down the street from me; I'll keep an eye out.

 

I really think it's just misunerstood. Griffin works hard and doesn't seem like the type the intial poster thoguht the writer was making him out to be.

I don't care who his friends are. Just don't hurt the team, and improve.

 

Yeah from his earlier articles you can see Ralph Wiley
is a 'Yao-only' columnist.

 

does anybody else find a couple of page 2 writers hard to read? i mean, bill simmons and greg easterbrook are two awesome writers, but theres a couple of other ones that are incredibaly hard to read.

such as his alter ego. i cannot read that crap. wiley needs to go back to worshipping the lakers and shut up.

 

The Rockets are one of the better defensive teams in the league, how else could they win with their anemic offense. As far as the Chronicle on the personal lives of the Rockets, I'm fine with that, I really don't like for celebrities to have their privacy violated., and these guys aren't real celebs, except for Yao.

 

It will be hard to improve when EG has been shot after being dared by his scumbag friends to rob a liquor store.

 

You see, that goes into my category of "don't hurt the team".

1) Don't let what you do hurt your team. You are counting against the cap, hence, your absence in any way is hurting the team.

2) Improve. Your salary increases every season, and we expect the level of improvement to match that increase.

 

Come on guy, are posts like this really neccessary, does anybody think E.G. will be robbing a liquor store, I hope you were in some way just kidding.

 

I hope so, because I LMAO at his post!

I don't think Eddie is aggressive enough to rob someone, he'd have to speak up for them to know they were being robbed...

Scumbags.

Hmm.

Eddie must live in the 3rd ward or something.

 

Jack Yates
JY
The Yard
Crimson and Gold

Gotta luv the trey.

 

How exactly does living in the third ward qualify as being a scumbag?? Seriously, ewfd, I'd like to know.

Until Eggie tests positive in a mandatory drug test, I don't believe any of it.

 

What the?!?

Please.......forget him. Why do people even both to read their useless info?

But it's amazing that you found it........

Eddie Griffin with scumbags? Weird. I thought Eddie didn't like to go out. He said he likes to stay at home and play video games.

 

my god people this thread is worse than a dam sewing circle... all you people are saying is a bunch of crap "oh someone who knows someone once heard from someone that E griff is hanging with someone bad.. it must be true or i would not have heard it"

so if i said i heard from a friend who knows someone in china and he said yao was in a chinese triad whould that make yao a ganster???? to you guys it more than likely would.. oh wait a minute i forgot this is yao we are talking about he does no wong

 

Well, if you can look past your sarcasm for one minute, maybe you can realize that what was posted wasn't gossip or hearsay. It was from an article on the ESPN website. It was probably a joke, and even if it wasn't, it's still ridiculous. By try not to be so rude to people when you hardly know what you're talking about.

 

Well ESPN is not always uhh...right.

Like the time they said, "James Posey and Ron Artest fight!!!"
