Hogan Knows Best? Well, not all of `em

Nick Hogan might want to give up driving, both casually and professionally. We’ve shown you Nick’s poor driving skills before, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that he’s gone off and crashed another car. However, this time it nearly cost him and his passenger their lives.

The 17-year-old Hulkamaniac was apparently driving way to fast down a Clearwater, FL., street Sunday night when he lost control of his yellow Toyota Supra and slammed it into a palm tree in the median. The wreck was so violent that it destroyed the car to the point where both Hogan and his friend, John Graziano, had to be cut from the car by rescue workers. Hogan was the less injured of the two, but both had to be flown to the hospital for treatment. Nick has since been released.

We hope that Graziano pulls through because the last thing any kid needs is the death of a friend of their head. But hopefully this will teach Nick that the world isn’t his own personal drifting course. He might think that he’s a professional driver, but his track record with vehicles shows that he is anything but. Frankly, Hulk should never utter these words to his son again:

Eddie Griffin identified by dental records in car/train collision


It’s been obvious for years that the former Minnesota Timberwolve Eddie Griffin was battling some serious demons in his life and it is possible that he committed suicide on Friday, August 17, when he drove his SUV into a moving train in Texas. The 25-year-old died upon impact but because of a horrible fire that resulted from the crash, there was no way to identify the body until investigators began using dental records.

There is no doubt that Griffin was one of the most talented players in the 2001 NBA Draft; just ask the Houston Rockets. They traded off Jason Collins, Brandon Armstrong and Richard Jefferson for the 7th pick out of Seton Hall. But his on-the-court talent wasn’t able to compete with his off-the-court troubles as alcoholism, violence and bizarre behavior began to take control of the 6-10, 240 lbs. forward. In 2006, Griffin was involved in another peculiar car crash as he hit an SUV while watching pornography and masturbating.

It’s been a tumultuous life for Griffin to say the least, and hopefully he’s in a better place now. And for all you other citizens who share the Eddie Griffin name, please be careful the next time you get behind the wheel. The road is not kind to Eddie Griffins.
