Wednesday ‘Awkwardness’ Links – Blake Griffin Scores 47, Michigan Hires Greg Mattison, January Jones at the Golden Globes, & Aaron Rodgers Is a Good Person

Just remember, when everyone’s saying “I’m ballin’ like Elmo” in a few months, you heard it here first. [via Guyism]

• Everyone has been hating on Mike Florio for a turrible article he wrote about Packers QB Aaron Rodgers late last week. Instead of linking to that stupidity, check out Awful Announcing and Cheesehead TV for two spot-on responses.

• Maybe David Brandon actually knows what he’s doing: Michigan hired Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Greg Mattison for the same position today. Don’t get your hopes up too much, it’s not like he’s working with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed here.

• The Herm to Hockeytown 2 website has launched and the big day is less than 2 months away. Make sure to get any pledges in at The Production Line (and remember, it’s all for charity).

• So Blake Griffin went off for 47 points, but no one saw it because it was a Clippers-Pacers game. Instead of wasting 3 hours of your life, here’s all of Blake’s points in under 2 minutes.

• I don’t know how they pulled it off with all the work they already do, but the writers at Bless You Boys, along with pretty much the rest of the Tigers blogosphere) wrote a book leading up to next season’s title run.

• Everyone was all kinds of hyped up for last week’s Patriots-Jets game thanks to all the trash talk going down. Deadspin guest writer and former Denver Bronco Nate Jackson takes a step back and puts some of the blame (glory?) on the media’s shoulders.

• I didn’t watch the Golden Globes but dear God, January Jones. Jimmy Fallon knows what’s up.
