Why would you roll your eyes, Mick? What if he showed you stats and he WAS one of the better shot blockers?
You can't even say you're good at something anymore without someone thinking you're bragging unnecessarily. OK, I'm going to say it. I'm good at sitting on my chair, reading the paper, and watching NFL football. And I'm going to maintain my advantage by putting in some hard practice time today.
I deserve it. I've had 5 varsity games in 8 days (with 2 days for the flu thrown in for good measure) and I'm a bit tired. I wonder how I'd feel if we had 3-official crews for our games. Or if I could do nothing but work hoops like so many of the guys on TV.

I am not Mick, nor do I play Mick on TV but I couldn't help an eyeroll of my own when I read tutall's post. Seems to me a player who gets "called on a TON of hacks" would have to pile up a lot of evidence before he could claim to be a great shot blocker...IMO great shot blockers do not send their opponent to the line. As to your point on self promotion, I see that not even you can claim to be one of the better couch potatoes in the state, you draw the line at saying you're just good at it. Subtle difference, but a difference still.
Enjoy the games, take care of that flu - I've been battling something myself for the last week so I feel your pain - and have a great holiday.
