Around SBN: SB Nation NBA Power Rankings for Week 2

Mike Fontenot dodged his draft day date with the old "I'm washing my hair" excuse. His bad timing caused him to miss one of the biggest moments of the Blackhawks' season too...

That's one long shower,

especially if he was drafted in the 19th round.

Sarah, keep up the good work. I love seeing this kind of stuff, it helps color our perception of them as human beings more than just distant players and numbers on our favorite team.

And I promise to visit your site more often to make sure you get the hits and keep your stuff going.

Thanks for the clarification.

Time to clear out the ears again.

Further clarification.

Fontenot was the 19th pick in the first round by the Orioles in 2001.

Great stuff

One day I’d love to chat with you Sarah as this is entertaining. I’m a producer over at WWE (I might be partially responsible for Soriano getting ripped on a month ago or atleast responsible for letting high ups know that he does the “You can’t see me after a HR”) and I’d love to hear about your story of how you got into this business and really the BTS of mouthpiecesports.com.

KALICUBS – appreciate the kind words and the hits, of course. lemme know if there’s a particular player you’d like to see more of or have questions for and i’ll try to get it done!

Sarah,

Curious, are the role players more available to you or does everyone make the time to talk?

But if I had to pick just one guy, it would be Guzman. He had all those expectations and injuries through the years. What kind of disappointments, obstacles, extra work, support systems did he have in order to find his way to the major leagues?

But really, any of the team that will give you the time of day And that will give you something more than the canned/cliched response is welcome.
