[Northbound]

Good to see he's well regarded in his second career.

Uncle Cliff in the weed business.

Least surprising post-playing career business venture ever?

 

[Thirty Three]

If the question was posed here on the Boneyard "What will Cliff Robinson's second career be?" I am absolutely positive the number one answer (by a mile) would have been "Weed farmer" (Particularly by those of us who knew him at UConn).

 

[Mr. French]

Didn't even read it, not shocked in the least, lol.

Proudly repping both UCONN and Buffalo!

Yeah, but imagine the product name, Uncle Cliff's Spliffs. I mean if Uncle Cliff is putting his name on it, you know it's (NBA) good.

I recently read an article about Robert Parish in which the Chief was complaining about not being able to find a job. Someone should send him that article...

 

[Bezzz]

LOL The article describes Uncle Cliffy as "former high-flying athlete".

My wife and friends of mine were at UConn when Cliff was there. This article doesn't surprise me at all. Hey, it's a legal business and a way to make a good living. Better than what Tate George did!

"So Cliff - it's March, what are your picks for the top four seeds this year?"

"Good question. You can always count on Big Bud being in the top four seeds, and Northern Lights has had a great season. I think there will be at least one dark horse among the lower seeds this year, though. We think White Voodoo will surprise some people out of the West."

Makes sense...He did play for the Blazers

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Tate George has been hired to help him raise "seed" money to get this started?

The shock is that Donyell isn't there with him.

Quality Control or Product Development.

You could be a Richard and Trademark those names.

I use to see him in the The Jungle/North Campus on the opposite side from where I was. I was told that is where he procured his product.
It will be funny when we read that it's a star up business, but he has almost 40 years experience, all of it in quality control.

That's actually exactly what he is going by: http://www.unclespliffy.com/

I always thought dealers are discouraged from using their own products. Anyway, do you think his eyes ever be white?

That's a rule for drug dealers, not pot farmers.

Semantics. LOL

 

[JakeTheDog]

Uncle Cliff is already legend out here. He may be approaching deity status.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

LOL The article describes Uncle Cliffy as "former high-flying athlete".

... and, "highest profile athlete" publicly endorsing cannabis to boot. Good luck to Cliff!

 

[Dove]

I'm sorry...it just does not get any better than "Uncle Spliffy". He should make a killing.

Now...pass the kouchie on the left hand side.

Yup. He didnt hide it on campus either. Fun dude. Used to hold court at Teds baked out of his mind.

Ha ha. I just saw the spot about this on WTNH Sports. The sportscaster said "Uncle Cliffy is now Uncle Spliffy."! One of my all-time favorites has truly found his calling!
