Great stuff, mogrod... I'm debating whether to show it to my daughter, though. She's a Harry Potter fan and is already frightened enough by some of the scenes. This might push her over the edge. Nice work, in any case.
Battier has obviously developed a bad attitude. This kind of thing could be truly detrimental to the team.
Relax guys, let's put this in the proper context: Shane was asked which of the draftees this year has the best potential to become the next Battier-type role player known for high IQ and defensive intensity. Shane: I like Chicago's pick, Joakim Noah.. you know Joakim Noah? No? The guy who looks like this?
Thanks for the background/clarification... But I'll be keeping a close eye on Battier from this point on -- and covering my 5-year-old daughter's eyes when he appears in post-game press conferences.
Someone really needs to caption this one. "Look Mom! No nose ring!" or maybe "Shane Battier: Fewest Nose Hairs in the NBA"
Yikes, that's liable to have both me AND my daughter averting out eyes. Me to her: "I'm sorry sweetie, Daddy's too traumatized by by that bad man to watch any basketball with you today. Why don't we go out and play a little tennis?"
