It's not easy to pull off the thin headband and massive goatee, and pretty much nobody on the current roster can do it.
Odds & Ends
Despite humongous 29-point performance, Kawhi Leonard wasnot spared Gregg Popovich's Five Point exploding heart technique ... Cost of Rangers-Kings tickets at MSG falling fast ... Texas Rangers cautioned to NOT do "the wave" at games for public safety (not aesthetic) reasons ... Crossing Broad reports that the man who puked on a girl at a Phillies game in 2010 has died ... Ben Revereshowing off his six pack while wearing a Spartan helmet ... Sony to produce live action Sonic the Hedgehog movie ... The Daily Show's report on unionizing in college football is as good as you may expect... Current highest bid for Gregory Polanco's autographed game-worn jersey from his debut has topped $16,000 ...
