I remember early in training camp Griffin responded to a question by saying as long as the team isn't distracted he was good responding to the media and enjoying the limelight, but if it becomes a distraction he would tone it down. Once the media tried to spin his comments into a rift I think he did just that, he stepped up said enough is enough, and at his next press conference he made pointed jabs at the media about how they weren't asking any questions/comments about the offensive line. That pretty much moved the conversation in the local media forward. The national media will follow but they tend to hold on to the sensationalistic headlines a bit longer. Griffin, in my eyes, gets it, he gets that the media will give him a stage, and he doesn't shrink from it, and he gets that the team is going to be directly impacted by how he acts on that same stage.
I am really looking forward to the special today, and to what he does on the field this year.
