God bless the intrepid soul who spotted this guy during the Blazers game. I don’t remember whether it was one of the folks in the SB Nation newsroom, or a reader who tipped us off, or what. But wherever you are, friend, I want to shake your hand.
Check out his brief eyebrow-arch as he digs that sucker out of there and examines it. “Huh. Whew. Man, that was a booger in m’nose. Well, there you have it.” And then he ... winks. That wink. No hesitation, no expression of surprise. Oh God, I think he knew he was on camera the whole time. He just didn’t care. That’s also why he’s got the feathered MacGyver hair a quarter-century after it went out of style. He’s on his own road, and once in a while I think it’s a good idea to ask whether you’ve ever been on yours, alone.
I'm worried about this guy going up against DOINK! in the next round. I don't know what will happen.
(15) SEAN PAYTON.
Finished second in Week 36 of THIS WEEK IN GIFs with 197 votes.
An afterthought.
VOTE!
