Gregg Popovich abandons hygiene

It started a few years ago, when Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich stopped wearing ties to games. This turn of events, when combined with his exasperated and sad face, made him look like a man on trial whose lawyers were afraid he'd hang himself. And it always seemed that the bigger the game, the more likely it was that Pop had taken his outfit directly off of a Goodwill mannequin.

Popovich is by no means the first coach to stop giving a shit
after amassing multiple championships and start dressing like a vagrant. But this year, he's upping the ante.

Witness the glory...



"Why yes, I rather enjoyed The Santa Claus. Why do you ask? Say, you gonna finish that bagel in your pocket?"



"Man, I'm tellin ya, it is soo liberating! Soap's just for Jews and nancy-boys. Now you gonna help me get that colored fella's bagel or not?"

Did he get the bagel? I got to know.

You think when he goes to a non-basketball town like Milwaukee or something, the guard at the entrance isn't going to let him in the building? "I'm sorry, old man. Players and coaches only. The soup shelter is just around the corner on Sixth Street."
