Kate Upton and Blake Griffin Dating?

Just days after Kate Upton dissed her ex-boyfriend Justin Verlander, it’s now being reported that she has her eyes set on another athlete. Upton has gone from a star baseball player to a star basketball player. The NY Post is reporting that the two have been getting very close lately. According to a source, Blake Griffin met a group of friends at around 10:30 Wednesday night.

And just an hour later, Kate Upton showed up in some flashy heels and joined the group. “The entire party looked like they were all having a great time in each other’s company — specifically Upton and Griffin who were very cozy with each other.” The source said.

“(They) were cuddling and holding hands, although they were not seen making out. They seemed pretty cute together.” The source added. After they stuffed themselves full with empanadas, lobster tacos and shots, the entire group went to a popular nightclub and “closed down the place.”

I guess Kate has a thing for professional athletes, huh? That certainly doesn’t bode well for me. I mean, I did carry a 173 average in my bowling league when I was a teenager. You think that would impress her? Do you think turkeys turn her on as much as strikeouts and slam dunks? Probably not…
