Former WW editor Michael Mannheimer creates an Internet meme at last night's Blazers game. We made it, y'all!

All right, I know we've overloaded a bit on Drake this week here at LocalCut, but we'd be remiss in not mentioning this brilliant (if I do say so myself, and I do) sign from last night's Blazers game, mocked up by former WW Assistant Music Editor Michael Mannheimer reading "OKC: Softer Than Drake."

"To the person who brought the "OKC: Softer than Drake" sign to tonight's game," wrote Curtis Haley, "you are the hero Portland needs." Blazersedge picked up on it as well, calling "the sign of the night." It even made it outside Portland, impressing hoops writer Holly Mackenzie, who's based in Drizzy's hometown of Toronto:
