James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
There are no shortages of high-five snafus in sports, but Blade Thomson of the Hurricanes might have just set a new high water mark for failure. Let’s grade this on the universal scale of high five effectiveness:
- Makes contact: + 5
- Successful timing: + 5
- Good sound: + 10
- Looks cool while doing it: + 20
- Misses hand all together and accidentally slaps self in face: - 957,231
Ouch... that’s a bad overall score, but we don’t make the rules.
