Poor guy has had these episodes before.

Griffen is indeed simply a "Poor guy" if his condition is solely related to mental health issues.

However, Griffen has had multiple, similar "episodes" over an extended period of time including 2 arrests in 3 days while at USC (one for assaulting a cop).

Knowing quite a few USC students/alums from Griffen's time at USC, to say he was notorious for his "partying" ways is a massive understatement. He got so out of control that even USC was eventually forced to respond.

Glad to hear Griffen's family was not nearby, hope he gets whatever treatment/ assistance he needs, and really hope Dalvin Cook did not purchase the gun for Griffen as stated in the instagram post.

I’d be shocked his he is not schizophrenic. However, schizophrenia rarely leads to violence. The violent acts are on him.

Bet he’s off his meds so he can perform on the football field.

That was my guess as well. The meds can leave a person more sluggish and tired; it wouldn't surprise me if he stopped taking them. Either way, the guy needs help. And Cook's "Who me?" response is laughable.

Zimmer compaining about refs after what happened last week?  Sucks when it happens to you (or you think it does anyway).  What's even more funny is now they're going to have a target on their backs.  Think you got penalized a lot last week...  At least our coach had the sense to keep his mouth shut.
