I think a lot of us bloggers spend our spare time wondering if athletes read us. I mean, we're often well-publicized, well-trafficked, and considered a useful outlet for NBA-related information. You'd think that, if most NBA player own computers, at least one would be a regular prowler of the blogosphere. And admit, that would feel kind of awesome.
Unless, of course, the player is Brian Scalabrine. From
Perk is a Beast:
As we were waiting for perk to come out of the locker room after last nights game, we ran into Scal who had nothing but good things to say about Perk is a beast. When we asked him if he had heard about the site, he said "Thats you!? That web site is sweet! I love that site man, I love it!"
The P.I.A.B folks must be positively drunk with confidence after hearing that. Scalabrine has always headed my list of "NBA players who are in the league by accident and are in fact just regular guys." So his endorsement is almost like a confirmation that no
real NBA'er would make a habit of looking at our digital scribblings. And for him to be an over-enthusiastic reader of a blog...I don't know, I'd rather be kept in my place
just a little.
Oh, and one unrelated thought: how is Scalabrine getting away with jeans in that photo? I thought those were strictly against the radar. Or is this consistent with my theory of his (non)-standing in the sport-he can be as under the radar as he wants.
