I know. Totally off topic.

But I was thinking about how in a year or two, Clipper fans might look back on this day as the one that HELPED turn things around with the acquisition of one Blake Griffin.

But now this day is even more memorable with the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.

Dude, I am now OFFICIALLY old.

I remember being a kid and thinking Michael was AWESOME and wishing I could dance like him. How many of us tried to do the moonwalk in our socks on the kitchen floor after our jaws dropped watching the Grammy's?

How many of us saw posters of Farrah Fawcett and wondered if we could ever meet anyone half as beautiful when we grew up? It was so unfair to be a kid when she was so hot - definitely the hottest of all of Charlie's Angels!

Anyhow - just thought I would tie in the non Clipper world on this day just to remind us of people that are lost while the Clippers are gaining #1...

What a day.
