Besides The Trophy, Griffin Colapinto Won Practically Everything At The US Open

Best claim, girls’ phone numbers, you name it!

Are Griff Cola and his partner-in-cam, Jacob Vanderwork, a little late to the brunch with this month-after US Open vlog?

You could say that.

But, you could also say that some content is so good it has no expiration date, like some girl slipping Griffin a lust note after his US Open heat, or those three lefts he rode on the morning of the finals. 

Sadly for Griff, his semifinal went flatter than a Mother’s morning flapjack, pushing his dreams of a US Open victory back another year. 

As an aside, readers, when’s the last time your day started in the dark? Do you think it makes you a happier, healthier person to wake with the chickens? Or does sleep facilitate performance and therefore justify a noontime rise?
