Kinktober day 6

Rex “Splode” Sloan + Dry humping and/or Frottage

This based off of season 2 Rex, since he’s nicer, and I feel like he would have to nearly die to come out the closet. This takes place after hes been shot in the head and is in the hospital. Reminder to self that he only has one hand at this point.

I wanted to write about viltrumite reader, but that will have to be saved for another day.

kinktober 2024 masterlist

“Dude, I’m fine, go save the world or whatever they want you to do” Rex snarked, his voice raspy and almost nasally, like his nose was stuffy or his tongue was too dry. He may act so prickly and standoffish, but ever since he woke up, Rex had been almost desperately clinging to your hand, with the one hand he still had left. He may have told you to piss off, but he was still leaning against you as you sat beside him on the hospital bed.

Seeing him like this made your stomach turn. What were your powers good for, if the guy that mattered the most to you ended up like this. You had accepted a while ago that you liked Rex, even if he was a huge dick sometimes. He may treat his girlfriends like shit, and pick fights that he can’t win, but you have always known he was a hero. And putting himself in danger like he did, ending up like this? It only proved it to you.

Rex had never been cuddly like this before, even if you had imagined it many times before. The closest you ever got were bro hugs or when you would carry him in your arms when flying to a different location. This felt like more, or maybe that was just your stupid brain thinking it meant more. Anyone having gone through what he did would want human contact, it made you feel ashamed of how your entire arm tingled, just from his hand holding yours.

“They don’t need me right now” you mumble, carefully leaning your head against his, without really touching, just hovering it there. His expression was a little pinched as he pulled away to look at you, his bottom lip trapped between his teeth. He was thinking that much was clear, but about what you weren’t sure, instead you couldn’t help staring at his bloodshot eye.

“What if I want you to leave so I can jerk off, huh? What if I need to get my rocks off” he huffed. There wasn’t his usual fire behind it, none of his usual sass, he seemed so much… softer right now. You glanced down at his lower body, still covered by his hospital blankets, and then his missing hand, and then the one clasping your own.

“Well… I don’t mind if you need to… ill… ill even help you, just bros helping bros right?” you peeped out, the words leaving you without you truly registering them. You could feel your own eyes widening at your words, just like Rex’s were. Had… had you really just said that? You had probably just fucked everything up, no way Rex would want you around. He had literally just been shot in the head, lost his hand, and you offer to get him off?

“Fuck, ill-ill leave” you hurry out, letting go of his hand to turn yourself, ready to climb out the bed and speed out of there so you could go drown yourself or fly into the sun. instead, Rex’s hand grabbed your wrist. He couldn’t have pulled you back if he wanted too, especially now that he was so weak from what happened. But it still made you stop, glancing back at him as you bit the inside of your cheek hard enough to taste blood.

His cheeks were flushed, and his pupils blown. At least, the one that hadn’t been blown this entire time because of the whole, bullet through the head situation. Rex was chewing at his lip again, contemplating his words carefully, before they left him, much softer and more hesitant than you had ever heard him. “What if… what if I want you, to do that. Help me, that is” he mumbled, ducking his head to not look you in the eyes.

Your gulp was loud in the quiet room, your hands shaking softly as you slowly turn around. Licking at your lips you carefully crawl up onto the bed and straddle him, just barely hovering above Rex so at to not to crush him. Rex seemed so embarrassed to look you in the eyes, and yet, he didn’t look away, instead sliding his one remaining hand down to intertwine your fingers again.

Your foreheads pressed together as you made quick work of fishing you both out. It was much easier on Rex, you just had to carefully pull his hospital gown up. For you there were a few buckles and zippers, and then the struggle of getting your boxers and the cup you wore down enough to get free.

The different kinds of pain medication and whatever else they had Rex on made it hard for him to get fully hard, but his shaky breathing and soft gasps were all you needed to know he enjoyed it just as much as you did. Even half hard it still felt better than anything Rex had ever done before, any girl he had ever done before.

Rex hadn’t noticed how he had clenched his eyes shut, lips pursed in concentration before you brushed yours against his, just the barest of whispers. Your hand was slick wrapped around you both, just slicking you both up with shared pre before you placed it on the bed to support your weight, making it possible to rock your hips together.

He felt his heart flutter like he never had before, maybe it was the brain damage, but this felt heavenly. Where past experiences had felt good, yes, this? This felt right, especially because it was you. You almost passed out when Rex kissed you back, fully pressing his lips against yours. The kiss was soft and hesitant, as if Rex wasn’t used to kissing anybody, but it was so perfect.

Your hips rocked together, hard lengths rubbing together and making the front of Rex’s hospital down slick with your shared fluids. Kisses kept passing between you, but it never became more than soft wet kisses, tongues carefully exploring the others mouth, like exploring never before seen territory.

Rex was the first to cum, his hips shakily jolting up against your own. His eyes fluttered and his grows furrowed, a shudder running through his tired still aching body, but the pleasure washed it away, if only for a moment.

Seeing him finish like that, because of you and only you, was all you needed to tumble over the edge too, your own fluids joining his own, creating even more of a kiss. Your mouths were pressed together, but it more like you were just panting into the others mouth, trying to gather yourself again.

When Rex let go of your hand, you almost feared you regret it. That was until he hooked it around you, his handless arm joining the first and pulling you down beside him, the explosion hero at least smart enough not to pull you on top of him. “That… that was good. I wouldn’t mind, if you… want to do that again” he finally panted out, voice raspier and shy, his face red as Rex glanced off to the side in fear of rejection.

A soft chuckle left you, leaning in to press a soft kiss against his neck before settling down beside him, your own arms coiling around you. “Yeah. Yeah, I’d like that a lot.” You whisper out, heart growing hotter as that smile you loved bloomed on his face. You loved Rex at all times, but seeing him being vulnerable, the times where he felt like he didn’t need to hide behind a cocky exterior, was the most beautiful of all.

I Have a Dilemma...

If as many people as possible could let me know what they think that would be amazing! Even if you don't plan on reading the fic your preference is still helpful! Also I might not care what the poll says and change my mind... so keep that in mind.

“ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU—☆”

something short, haha 😅 this could be an epilogue to my other rex fic, just a quick few paragraphs as i have had them in my notes.

cws - none, really (i am not sure? will update tags), just fluff! mdni. rex x cecil’s daughter!reader. for my sistas that are reading!!: it is not specified wether reader is biological or adopted child of cecil, you can fill that in if you would like! i personally prefer that is adopted, however you can imagine as you’d like. i’m not too happy with this one because i did not know how to end it, haha. maybe i will have to extend more

rex sloan met you in the summer while he had been training at the guardians’ headquarters, running on a treadmill with sweat sticking auburn brown strands onto his forehead.

you strolled right past him with your arm linked onto cecil’s, excited eyes taking in your surroundings. you had begged him for a job at the pentagon for as long as you could remember, you wanted to be just like your father, ever since you were able to identify what a job was. cecil had finally given in one day,

“whatever my baby girl wants.” he sighed, watching with a smile as you jumped up and down, a shrill scream reverberating off of the walls as you thanked him, your arms thrown around your dad’s shoulders with your eyes squeezed tight, trying your hardest to keep tears from rolling down your cheeks;

and now you were here, having already finished your little tour of your soon to be work place and teleporting over to your well awaited tour of the superhero headquarters you had been so excited to see. you were going to be just like your father, you worked so hard for this. you passed the top of your class, A+++ across the boards, you memorised the layout of your father’s place of work and kept every single secret identity sealed tightly and locked away behind your lips, never to be spoken. you had proved yourself, you hadn’t just been given the job because you were cecil steadman’s ‘spoiled kid’ (even though you were, and it did improve your chances of getting the job), you had put your blood, sweat and tears into this.

rex sloan couldn’t take his eyes off of you, he couldn’t tell wether you were the one making his heart race faster or if it was the fault of the increasing speed of the treadmill. he was sure that if aphrodite had been reborn, it would’ve definitely been you. rex watched breathlessly as you and cecil made your way to the exit door, your image burning into his eyelids. beauty incarnate. the treadmill slowed, he opened his mouth to say something before you left.

silence.

and you were gone, your giggles echoing around in his head. for once in his life, rex had been speechless. he stared blankly at the closed door, blinking slowly with his lips parted.

“i’m y/n steadman, i’ll be overseeing you all today on account of my father getting me a little work experience.” you introduced yourself, white collared shirt tucked into your striped formal trousers, blazer buttoned with a pink tie fastened around your neck. “it’ll be nice getting to meet you all.” you finished, standing in front of the sitting heroes for a few seconds before you realised your mistake; “-oh! ah, sorry, any questions?” you corrected yourself, nervously playing with your fingers. they blinked at you blankly, you cleared your throat. a hand raised, your attention shifted, nodding and pointing at the hero,

“i-.. it’s nice to meet you…!” rex blurted out, monster girl laughed. “that isn’t a question, stupid. do your brain cells blow up when you use your powers, too?” she joked, making kate cover her mouth so she could giggle behind it. “hey! don’t you grow younger every time you transform? you’re the one who’s loosing brain cells!” he retorted, to which she laughed harder. you chuckled, rex’s attention turned towards you, “are you smarter than a 5th grader?” you joined in, lightly poking fun at him. you looked beautiful, your smile was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

rex nodded at you, teeth exposed in a wide smile, “good one, at least we know you’re not as stuck up as your pops.” it were as if he had to recover every time you spoke, his response had come fifteen seconds after a silence that everyone else had found weird. everyone would just brush it off as rex just being stupid and waiting for an applause or something. he had just gotten lost in you, taking in every feature and savouring the way your shocked face looked around before your shoulders heaved with a silent laugh, hoping that your father wouldn’t hear this when listening in.

you met rex sloan in the summer while at your first job, he never failed to make you laugh. you never failed to snap back just as wittily.. and that never failed to make him go silent, face heating up as he mocked your laugh, nothing to rebuttal with. it wasn’t because he couldn’t keep up banter, it was because you looked so goddamn gorgeous with a smile on your face, you’d playfully slap his arm to defend yourself against his mockery.

you and rex met on top of the roof in the summer evening, his head in your lap with your fingers loosely braiding his hair. you both looked up into the pinkish red sky, watching as the sun melted into the hills and switching with the moon, red turning to purpleish blue, finally settling on a pitch black, starry scattered sea of night. rex’s hair would fall over his face as he propped himself up on his elbows, not even having to ask as you pressed your lips onto his, short and sweet. “no fair, if i moved that quickly around you, you’d probably zap me or something with that weird tech shit.” rex shook his head, sitting up fully and pulling you into his lap, “oh rex, you really think i hate you… that much..?” you poked him in his forehead, sticking out your tongue at him. rex could only bring his face closer, nuzzling his nose against yours. “i already know how much you hate me, i can tell that you hate me, that why you can’t sleep without me.” he whispered, kissing you and resting his head against yours, “that’s why i gotta bust my ass climbing up to your window so your dad doesn’t skin me alive,”

“and that’s why you gotta be gone by 5:30am, cuz dad wakes up at six sharp.” you found your hands in rex’s hair as you spoke, stroking through his soft locks and scratching his scalp gently, “and i like to sleep in with my girl for a while.” he finished, his hand rubbing up and down your leg lovingly. it was late, you had to be in bed early to wake up in the morning on time to get back to work and cecil would definitely be asking you questions about where you had been later, even though he was fully aware. your father actually didn’t mind, but refused to give you the impression that he was becoming more lenient. he wasn’t stupid, cecil actually woke up at five in the morning. he could see rex’s legs dangling from the kitchen window one time, watched him closely before he fell onto his back with a loud thump onto the grass, winding himself for a moment and sneaking off of the property with his shoes in his hands. well, at least he took his shoes off in the house.

“you got a boyfriend yet, kid?” your father would ask, sipping bourbon from his little glass while he scanned his laptop one last time, his finger pressing down on the power off button. you quickly stammered to find your words, leaving your space in the kitchen with your yellow rubber gloves still on your hands, soapy bubbles running down your wrist as you stood there, “not a boyfriend, sir. a colleague who i have taken a liking to, sir.” you fiddled with the yellow rubber gloves, eyes avoiding your father’s in an attempt to keep your composure. “c’mon, honey. we’re not at work, we’re home. you don’t need to be so… formal.” he raised an eyebrow, clearing his throat as he fixed his tie. hypocrite. you smiled at his habit. “it’s hard to-“ “hard to break out of, yeah.” he finished for you, shaking his head with a soft chuckle, “you’re my pride and joy, y’know that?” and you’d nod back at him, conversation dissolving as you made your way back to the dishes.

you and rex sat on the roof of your home, setting off fireworks into the sky. you thought it was so cool how he could do that, produce colourful sparks and loud bangs from virtually nothing. it’s the bangs of the fireworks he remembers when he’s on his knees, staring at the remains of his teammates as his life starts to flash before his eyes, the only thing worth remembering being you. he remembers your giggles and gasps when he’d shot off a firework that he’d managed to make look a little like a flower, he’d been practicing to impress you. he remembers the first time he’d seen you, the way you’d made his heart almost burst out of his chest… and that’s when he snaps, just as the gun fires, just as the bullet strikes him through his brain. not now, not when he still had to make it back to you tonight. he still had things he wanted to do with you, you hadn’t even tried out that new ice cream place that opened up, the one just five minutes away from your house, the one he’d promised to take you. one question remained in his adrenaline filled state. how dare you shoot me, how dare you try to take me away from my girl?

if not for his body running on instinct, he’d have probably collapsed and died right there, he should’ve died. it was a blur, beating that green piece of shit to a bloody pulp while he momentarily blacked out each time he landed a punch… when backup showed up, he was sure he’d thrown up a thumbs up, even with his missing hand. you were gonna be so worried about him, he could hardly wait for the earful you were going to give him about being careful. rex just wanted to hear your voice, that was the only thing he needed right now, along with some intensive care. like, soon.

rex holds your hands as you try your hardest not to cry, biting down on your bottom lip with your eyebrows knitted together, glassy orbs observing his injuries. “m’sorry i didn’t make it back to you last night, i bet you thought there was something really wrong when you didn’t see me this morning.” he touches your face with his hand that’s still there and you want to slap him, you want to grab him and shake him by his shoulders so hard that he’d quit being a hero, this was so close! you could’ve lost him forever, never seen him again. your anger translates into a puff of your chest, leaning yourself forward to place your lips into his, hands flying around his shoulders to pull him close. “thought- when dad told me- you were shot in the head and..-“ you sobbed softly, resting your head in the space between his shoulder and neck, wetting his skin with your tears. it was a miracle he’d survived, maybe your boyfriend really was stupid enough to take a bullet to the brain and have almost no changes. you’d laugh about that idea on another day, when the event wasn’t so raw to you. you couldn’t wait to get home that night, you’d finally tell your father about you and rex’s real relationship, if this had ever happened again then cecil would go on without ever being able to know how to comfort you since he only really saw the guy as an employee. you loved rex, you loved his resilience. who else would be able to survive a gunshot to the head and still have enough in him to beat the culprit with a bloody stump for a hand and his vision blanking out?

rex sloan gave you a ring just at the start of fall; nothing too special, not expensive by any means. plastic, pink and it hardly fit your hand. you’d acted offended upon receiving a cheap toy as an ‘engagement ring’, his lips kissing the back of your hand. “i couldn’t find one perfect enough for you. this one isn’t any better, but it’s cute. it’s you. you don’t care about flashy shit, you’re cool like that.” his words make you feel warm inside, he really knew you. he really loved you, you loved him just as much. he couldn’t wait to get back to work, you’d be there to keep him confident.

[ufonaut]

can we get one ufonaut headcanon for all og jsaers:)

WE CERTAINLY CAN!!!!

og members

alan scott - autistic. to me, this is more perceiving reality than outright a hc but it's something i'll stand by always and forever. alan's hobbies are repairing/collecting old radios and putting together model train sets. i think he's also big on country/folk music, from his railroad days. okay, that's several hcs (the ufonaut special).

jay garrick - jay's got some sort of vague anxiety disorder as per the implications of the jsa: ragnarok novel. nothing to do with his speed, he's just a born over-thinker.

al pratt - not enough heroes in humanities so it's my genuine belief al eventually gets a degree in lit/journalism from calvin college and ends up working at a newspaper.

kent nelson - i'll always believe kent choosing jared stevens as his successor was his one attempt to stand up to nabu and break the cycle of abuse inherent to the fate legacy, and for a little bit there he nearly did it. my other kent hcs have been [redacted].

carter hall - permanent chairman of the jsa because nobody else wants to be. considered clinically insane by many, loved by few.

rex tyler - his addiction issues are pretty much as explicit as it gets but i'll still say i think rex's addiction extends far beyond miraclo and the adrenaline of it, and the fact that he's ended up with some awful chronic pain from his years as hourman contributes to some less than advisable ways he self medicates every now and again. non-negotiable, there's no way miraclo not preventing injuries but merely allowing him not to feel them as they happen hasn't had deep repercussions.

jim corrigan - in a committed & exclusive gay homosexual relationship with the spectre, which is not his own soul nor an entirely separate entity but a secret third thing. most closeted man imaginable. still speaks like a noir detective, all dames and broads and such. ignoring ostrander's '92 take of having him be from the south, jim lives & breathes new york (or... he did. anyway. when he lived and breathed).

wesley dodds - dian & sandy both deserved better. that's all i've got. i'm sorry to say i'm the no 1 wes dodds hater (see: 'the creature in the velvet cage', justice league of america 1960 #113).

johnny thunder - most autistic teenager on planet earth :)

as we all know ted knight & charles mcnider (asc #8), wonder woman (asc #12), terry sloane & ted grant (asc #24), and dinah drake (asc #41) are all later-but-still-golden-age additions so i won't be including them as original jsaers. however, i still hope you enjoyed this! thank you so much!!

[leonsliga]

7, 15, 20, 90, 94 😊

Hey Mon! Thanks as always for the ask, ily 💗

7. Do you have any pets? I do, but just the one:

my husky-lab mix pup Rex. My baby 🥺

15. Favorite song? Oof, it changes daily at this point, but since I can’t decide on just one, have a couple: Fall by Sasha Alex Sloan, Something in the Orange by Zach Bryan, the Borders by Sam Fender, Northern Attitude by Noah Kahan, Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron, Brazil by Declan McKenna, Little Bit of Love by Tom Grennan, and Nana Triste by Natalia Lacunza and Guitarricadelafuente. Ok, so maybe that was more than a couple…oops 🙈

20. Are you religious? I used to be. I grew up in a predominantly Catholic family, so I was Catholic for a long time. I went to Catholic school and everything. It took me way too long to realize that pretty much none of their beliefs aligned with mine, like their takes on sexuality, sex (in general), and abortion, to name a few. Most of my time as a Catholic, I was just going through the motions. Needless to say, I’m an agnostic right now lol. I don’t know if I believe in God. I believe in being good to people (or at least trying to be), that much I know. And that’s good enough for me right now.

90. What makes you angry? Let me just start by saying anger and I have an odd (not exactly normal) relationship. I tend to shy away from the things that make me angry, because I experience emotions intensely. In the interest of being honest though, there are a few things that do make me angry. I think the main ones are passive-aggression and guilt-tripping. I dealt with both a lot in my upbringing, so I have a really hard time tolerating either one. I’m not a big fan of know-it-alls or condescending people either if I’m honest. People who feel the need to be the experts in the room at all times just kind of exhaust me, especially when they try to convince you they know more about a topic you know far better than they do. I’m finally getting to the point where I’m shedding some of my insecurities, but for the longest time, my intelligence was one of them, and that really hit that particular insecurity hard. People who mock your interests irritate me too. Your interests are your interests, and if they make you happy, that means something. The last thing anyone needs is someone mocking them for something they’re passionate about. Passions should be nurtured, not crushed.

94. What are you strengths? Ah, this is a question I’m working on getting better at answering 😂 so let’s take a stab at it, shall we? I have a very vivid imagination, which lends itself well to writing. Writing is something I’ve always been passionate about, and I like to think I’m decent at it, idk lol. I’m pretty observant. If someone feels left out or upset about something, I can almost always tell and will try my best to help. I listen to people and sometimes I hear things others miss. I care deeply about people (although this one sometimes gets me into trouble) and I want to see good things happen for them. I try to believe the best in people. Do those count as strengths? Maybe? 😵

Thanks again Mon 💕

Three things.

1. OMG THIS LAST ONE DAY UPDATE WAS AMAZING AND I LOVED EVERY FREAKING SECOND OF IT

2. I’m confused about the Fett boys ages. Could you give a list of how old everyone is in this last update?

3. What kind of city is Corasaunt like? Should I be imagining a New-York type city, or like a Houston TX type city where it’s massive, but everything is spread out?

YOU’RE AMAZING ABD I LOVE YOUR WRITING OK BYEEEEE

Ahhh thank youu!!

Yeah, so I've been a little wishy washy with ages and I'm so sorry!

Basically by chapter 12 Ahsoka should be 29, Rex 31, Ponds 32, Wolffe 33, Bly 34, Cody 35, and Fox 36. So... not that old at all XD

Okay, so I've kind of been imagining Coruscant as Washington DC in terms of, like, all of the politicians are there and there's a lot of wheeling and dealing and parties etc. Now, geographically, I imagine it'd be more like New York with like little burrows because as mentioned there was a fire in the Flats in the chapter where Sloan dumps Rex and idk if DC has, like, little areas within the city. I hope that answers your question?

THANK YOU SO MUCH <33 YOU'RE AMAZING LOVE YOUUU

The only time Georgia played Notre Dame before 2017, a UGA national title was on the line

Two of college football’s biggest programs had only played once, but it was on that season’s biggest stage. Here’s everything that got the Dawgs to that point.

With Georgia visiting Notre Dame on Sept. 9, now seemed like a good time to revisit the first (and only, before 2017) time these two historic programs played. Thirty-seven years ago, the Dawgs and Irish met in New Orleans. The Dawgs were on the verge of a national title. (And then in 2012, of course, UGA would fall just shy of advancing to play Notre Dame in the BCS Championship.)

Below is a chapter from my 50 Best* College Football Teams of All Time, published in March. 10 percent of all profits from sales of 50 Best* this fall will go to a soon-to-be-mentioned Houston-based fundraiser to benefit Hurricane Harvey victims.

On April 7, 1980, Georgia secured the signature of a running back from Wrightsville, a town of about 2,000 in east central Georgia. The Dawgs have won plenty of recruiting battles in the state’s small towns by simply showing up, but this recruitment lasted a little bit longer than most. Head coach Vince Dooley had to fend off a majority of the nation’s powers – Alabama, USC, Ohio State – along with other local schools like Clemson and Georgia Tech. This back was named the nation’s best; he was a 6’2, 216-pound behemoth who had, the previous fall, rushed for 3,167 yards and 45 touchdowns while leading Johnson County High School to the Georgia Class A state title.

You could say that Georgia won the 1980 national title the day Herschel Walker signed.

Even blue-chip freshmen usually take a while to become acclimated, to grow into a large role within the game of college football. Hell, until recent years, freshmen weren’t even allowed to play; they had to wait until their sophomore seasons to make an impact. Though the rules changed, most coaches still lived with the belief that freshmen had to be eased in, that you wouldn’t be able to count on them to make a difference that early in their respective careers.

Usually, this approach was acceptable, and for one simple reason: Most recruits weren’t Walker.

A former Auburn quarterback and Auburn assistant, Dooley took over for Johnny Griffith in 1964, when UGA was at a low ebb. The Dawgs had finished ranked only once since 1949, but by his third year, Dooley had the Bulldogs back in the top five. Georgia won the SEC in 1966 and 1968, but results had grown more sporadic in the 1970s, as integration changed life for many SEC programs. The Dawgs went 19-5 in 1975-76, then fell to 5-6 in 1977. They went 9-2-1 in 1978, then fell to 6-5. They were ranked 16th in the preseason AP poll heading into 1980, and honestly, they may have indeed been the 16th-best team in the country. But throughout one of the wildest, most unlikely runs in the sport’s history, Walker carried a heavier load than anyone thought imaginable, and the Dawgs consistently found a way to make the one play they needed to make.

Absolutely, positively necessary play No. 1: Pat McShea recovers a Glen Ford fumble.

The first game of the season took place in front of the largest crowd to ever watch a football game in the South. A crowd of 95,288 filled Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium to watch Tennessee host Dooley’s Dawgs, and the home crowd was happy for a while. Georgia quarterback Buck Belue fumbled the ball in the end zone in the second quarter for a safety, and Tennessee led 9-0 at halftime. The Vols quickly expanded the lead to 15-0, but after Georgia got a safety of its own when UT fumbled out of the end zone, Walker took over.

His first career touchdown was perhaps his most memorable; Walker ran through an ankle tackle at the line of scrimmage and, at the 5, ran over Tennessee safety Bill Bates like he was driving a corn harvester. Bates, by the way, would go on to become an all-pro safety for the Dallas Cowboys. Walker flattened him like Bates was an overwhelmed 15-year old playing against Johnson County High.

Legendary Georgia announcer Larry Munson yelped, “My God Almighty … he drove right over orange shirts just driving and running with those big thighs! My God, a freshman!” Walker would score again on a nine-yard sweep to give Georgia a 16-15 lead and would finish with 84 yards. He had begun the game on the third string; he would never be anything less than a first-stringer again.

Georgia still had work to do, though. As the minutes wound down, Tennessee moved the ball inside the Georgia red zone and all the way to the 1. But Ford fumbled, and McShea recovered. Georgia had only gained 240 total yards to UT’s 310, but four Vol fumbles made as much of a difference as Walker did.

Walker made his home debut in front of 60,000 at Sanford Stadium the next weekend, and against a weak Texas A&M team, the Dawgs left nothing to doubt. Walker rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns and shook off tackler after tackler on a 76-yard burst late in the third quarter.

Absolutely, positively necessary play No. 2: Frank Ros tips a Clemson pass into the air, and Jeff Hipp picks it off.

Now 10th in the country, Georgia played host to rival Clemson. The Dawgs and Tigers were in the middle of a crazy series of tight non-conference battles, and this one was no different. Early on, Georgia’s Scott Woerner nearly won the game by himself. He returned a punt 67 yards for a touchdown, then made a leaping interception in the Georgia end zone and raced 98 yards to set up a short Belue touchdown.

Georgia led 14-0 in the first quarter, but despite Walker ending up with 121 rushing yards, the Dawg offense was stagnant. Clemson was able to cut the lead to 20-16 by the fourth quarter and was driving to possibly take the lead. However, Ros tipped a ball at the line of scrimmage and Hipp won a fight for the ball at the UGA 1. A 20-yard Walker run allowed UGA to run out the clock on a second narrow victory.

Another home game, this time against a weak TCU squad, offered a little bit of a respite. Belue threw two touchdown passes and, nursing a sprained ankle, Walker carried just nine times for 69 yards in a 34-3 win. But while the Dawgs were now sixth in the country, the challenges would continue.

Absolutely, positively necessary play No. 3: Carnie Norris rips off a 20-yard run against Ole Miss.

“It never seems to come easy,” Dooley told media after Georgia’s 28-21 win over Ole Miss. The Rebels were not doing very well under third-year head coach Steve Sloan and had already lost at home to the Texas A&M team that couldn’t hang with Georgia. They trailed by just three heading into the fourth quarter.

Amp Arnold caught a 34-yard pass from Belue, and the Dawgs led 17-0 in the closing seconds of the first half. But James Otis picked off a Belue pass and returned it 32 yards for a score with just nine seconds left in the second quarter, and Rebel quarterback John Fourcade scored on a one-yard sneak midway through the third. A 25-yard Walker run set up a 43-yard Rex Robinson field goal to stretch UGA’s lead back to 20-14, but the game wasn’t out of reach until third-string running back Carnie Norris’ 20-yard run set up a one-yard Belue touchdown with six minutes left. A late Ole Miss touchdown made the final score 28-21.

Norris finished with 15 carries for 150 yards, picking up the slack beautifully for Walker.

The extra rest for Walker paid off. Over the next two weeks, he would rush for 418 yards and four touchdowns as the Dawgs beat Vanderbilt 41-0 and Kentucky 27-0. That set up the biggest game of the season to date.

Absolutely, positively necessary play No. 4: Tim Parks recovers a George Rogers fumble at the Georgia 16.

South Carolina came to Athens on a roll. Behind eventual Heisman winner (and Georgia native) George Rogers, the Gamecocks were 6-1. Rogers had rushed for 142 yards in a 17-14 upset of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and their No. 14 ranking was their highest since 1959.

Against Georgia, Rogers was good, rushing 35 times for 168 yards. But the game was mainly remembered for two plays. On the third play of the third quarter, with Georgia leading by just a 3-0 margin, Walker exploded down the right sideline. Three different Gamecock defenders looked like they had an angle to catch him, and none did. The 76-yard score made it 10-0. It showcased Walker’s speed in the same way that his harvesting of Bates showed his power.

Walker finished with 219 yards on 43 carries, but Georgia’s lead shrank to 13-10, and South Carolina was driving with five minutes left. Once again, the resourceful Georgia defense, the Junkyard Dawgs, saved the day. Rogers powered what could have been a game-winning drive, but he was shaken up on a run inside the 20. On his final carry of the day, the ball was stripped and flew into the air. Tim Parks fell on it, and after a roughing the punter penalty gave Georgia one last break, Walker plowed away at the rest of the clock.

Rogers would go on to win the Heisman, in part because Heisman voters just couldn’t fathom giving it to a freshman.

Absolutely, positively necessary play No. 5: Lindsay Scott runs and runs.

Walker did everything he could against Florida the next week in Jacksonville. Georgia still needed more. His 37 carries and 238 yards gave him the school’s single-season rushing record – In the ninth game of the season! Despite battling injury for a couple of weeks! – and his 72-yard run opened the scoring in the first quarter. But Georgia still found itself trailing Charley Pell’s 20th ranked Gators, 21-20, in the closing minutes. Rival Georgia Tech tied No. 1 Notre Dame, so the Dawgs could ascend to No. 1 for the first time since 1942 with a win. But a Florida punt bounced out of bounds at the UGA 8 with 1:35 left.

On first down, Belue scrambled but found no one open and got pushed out of bounds at the 7. On second down, he threw incomplete to the sideline. At this point, he was 6-for-15 for 52 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions.

Again rolling to his right, however, Belue then threw the most famous pass of his life. Take it away, Larry Munson: “Buck back, third down on the eight. In trouble! Got a block behind him. Gonna throw on the run ... complete on the 25 ... to the 30 ... Lindsay Scott 35, 40 ... Lindsay Scott 45, 50, 45, 40. Run, Lindsay! 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott!”

It went down in history as “Run, Lindsay, Run!”, maybe the most celebrated play in school history. Belue rolled to his right, then threw back toward the middle of the field to Scott, who was running the opposite direction of most of the defenders. He turned the corner and raced up the left flank for the game-winning touchdown – a member of UGA’s 400-meter relay team, he was not going to get caught. He was immediately mobbed by fans in the end zone.

UGA followed one huge rivalry game with another, visiting Auburn on November 15 as the No. 1 team in the country. Auburn did a pretty good job of playing spoiler, trailing just 10-7 near the end of the second quarter. The Dawgs had made it to the Auburn 1 with nine seconds left in the half, but Belue fumbled the snap in what was supposed to be the last play before attempting a field goal. Georgia didn’t have any timeouts, but the refs had to stop the clock to clear up the pile, and that gave Belue time to get his team lined up as soon as the ball was placed. With one second left, Belue took the snap and threw to Norris Brown for a touchdown and a 17-7 lead.

Auburn attempted a surprise onside kick to start the second half, but Georgia recovered it and drove 34 yards for the score. Walker rushed for just 77 yards, but he wasn’t needed: Georgia went up 24 points before a couple of late Auburn touchdowns made the final score 31-21.

The Georgia Tech game was the Walker Show. UGA wrapped up an undefeated regular season by racing to a 17-0 halftime lead and winning 38-20. Walker rushed 35 times for 205 yards, and his 65-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown both iced the game and set the NCAA’s single-season freshman rushing record at 1,610 yards.

Absolutely, positively necessary play No. 6: Trainers pop Herschel Walker’s shoulder back into place.

On Georgia’s second play from scrimmage in the Sugar Bowl against No. 7 Notre Dame, the greatest freshman running back ever separated his shoulder. With so many close wins and only two victories over ranked teams, the Bulldogs were seen as a relatively soft No. 1. It wasn’t hard to find someone predicting the 9-1-1 Irish to take down the Dawgs, and that was with a full-strength Walker.

The record-setter barely missed any time. His shoulder was popped back in on the sideline, and he carried the ball 36 punishing times for 153 yards. Ridiculous.

Late in the first quarter, Rex Robinson nailed a 46-yard field goal to tie the game at 3-3, and the Irish fumbled the ensuing kickoff. UGA recovered at the 1 and took a 10-3 lead on a diving Walker touchdown. Frank Ros soon forced a fumble, and Chris Welton recovered. Walker scored to make it 17-3, and the game took on the typical Georgia script: UGA takes an early lead, the opponent begins to come back, and Georgia’s defense makes repeated stops near the end. Up 17-10 in the final period, Georgia came up with a big third-down sack to force a field goal that missed, and on ND’s final surge, Scott Woerner, the All-American and hero of the Clemson game, picked off a fourth-down pass. For the first time in 38 years, Georgia was national champion.

This wasn’t the best Vince Dooley squad. Hell, it probably wasn’t even the best Herschel Walker squad – you could make the case that either the 10-2 team of 1981 or the 11-1 team of 1982 was better. But this team simply refused to lose. It had the best player in the country (Heisman voting be damned), and just about every player on the team made a key play at a key time. While everybody else in the country slipped up at an inopportune time, Georgia simply won every game on the schedule and made both Walker and Dooley immortal in the process.

hi !! could i maybe get some rex splode x gnc trans male reader stuff, if you’re cool with that !! maybe smth abt the reader getting misgendered for wearing clothes they feel more comfortable with and rex stepping in to defend them :o thank you sm !!

Rex Sloan/Rex splode x ftm reader

Headcanons

Rex wasn’t the best guy up until getting shot in the second season, but that wouldn’t matter if you guys were dating, except for the fact that he would apologize to you and try his hardest to be a better boyfriend.

He might have misgendered you on accident the very first time you guys met, but when you corrected him that didn’t happen again. He might have been a dick sometimes, but he isn’t a bigot.

I like to think Rex is secretly into fashion at a low level, since he’s into stuff like decorating. So, he would be excited to help you plan your outfits.

Since he is a government experiment, he wouldn’t have that deeply ingrained image of gender either, so he wouldn’t care too much about you, your gender, or your way of expressing yourself.

In the beginning he wouldn’t be into wearing anything feminine himself though, since he’s quite insecure and unsure about himself and the image he puts off. But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t support you.

His insecurity would have crossed over to how people treat you though. Since disrespecting you is also disrespecting him, but also because he loves you and doesn’t want you getting mistreated.

This leads to him getting into fights, both verbal and physical, since how dare they treat you like that? Who the fuck do they think they are? They can taste his damn explosions if they’re gonna keep that shit up.

In the beginning his acts of defending you can be quite a lot, since he takes peoples comments more personal that you do. To the point where he might even get snippy with people who do it on accident even if they correct themselves immediately after being informed.

But after getting shot in the head and rethinking a lot about himself, Rex would become better at dealing with himself, his emotions and his reactions.

This not only leads to him being a better boyfriend in general, but also not reacting so quick to violence and anger if somebody says the wrong thing or looks at you wrong. He still keeps a sharp eye on people though, especially when you are dressing the ways you prefer.

Where in the past Rex would make a loud scene, after the bullet he would be more lowkey. And by that, I mean, pull the person to the side or just quietly tell them that if they don’t stop nobody would be able to find the pieces of their body after he blew them up.

Of course he doesn’t always end up using threats of death, but that’s mainly because he knows you wouldn’t like it. to Rex, being transphobic on purpose deserves it, but since it wouldn’t be what you and others wanted, he would keep it as a last defense. Or at least wait for no one else to be around.

He makes sure to check up on you afterwards too. Rex would try to be subtle, but he isn’t really the most subtle guy. So, when he’s trying to see if your okay and affirm your gender, he says something like “you know you’re the most handsome guy I know, right?”

After understanding himself better, he might even get the interest in trying to wear different things. At this point I can’t imagine him wearing it in public, but when he’s alone or together with you, he might put on a few different things to see how he feels.

Rex always gets embarrassed about it though, especially if you comment about it, even if it’s telling him it looks good. So your best bet is to not mention it until he brings it up himself.

Life on Earth will survive nearly anything, say scientists. Hells yeah.

Scientists have calculated what it would take to sterilize the planet. No wait, stay with me! It's not as morbid as it sounds!

Three scientists from Oxford and Harvard universities were interested in just what it would take to sterilize the Earth — not just wipe out humanity, but get a really deep scrub in there and completely wipe out life.

What they found is that life could survive pretty much anything the universe is going to throw at us for at least 7.6 billion years.

To figure this out, they looked at the greatest survivors ever.

Not humans. Not sharks. Tardigrades.

Big, impressive life — humans and whales and Tyrannosaurus rexes — are actually kind of fragile. We depend on very specific environments to survive. But there are much tougher creatures out there, wriggling around, like tardigrades.

Tardigrades are basically tiny little Terminators. GIF from "Cosmos."

Also known as water bears, these microscopic little guys are tough as nails. Tardigrades can be frozen, irradiated, starved for decades — heck, they've even survived the vacuum of space!

After doing a bunch of math about radiation and pressure and other factors, the scientists determined the only way to wipe out these little buggers would be to boil the entire ocean. Let me repeat that: The only way to get rid of them is to boil the ocean.

And boiling the ocean just isn't likely to happen anytime soon. You'd have to slam the planet with a truly gigantic asteroid, or hit it with a supernova or an ultra-powerful gamma ray burst. The scientists did the math, and they say all of those are just too rare or too far away to matter to a tardigrade.

"Life, once it gets going, is hard to wipe out," study co-author Dr. David Sloan said in a press release.

GIF from "Jurassic Park."

Basically, life on Earth is probably going to survive as long as the sun does.

Unfortunately, there is an end point. In about 7.6 billion years, the sun's going to evolve into a red giant star. At that point, it'll either devour the Earth or be bright enough to, yes, boil the oceans.

That's a long way away. Life has only been on Earth for about 3.8 billion years — multicellular life even less. In only about 600 million years, we went from worms to dinosaurs to Carl Sagan. Imagine what another 7.6 billion years will get us. Life on Earth hasn't even hit middle age yet.

The researchers say this gives hope to the possibility of finding life on other planets.

Perhaps the deep soils of Mars or the volcanic oceans of Europa or Enceladus have their own little microscopic Terminators too.

"If tardigrades are Earth's most resilient species, who knows what else is out there," said Dr. Rafael Alves Batista, a co-author of the study.

That doesn't mean we humans should take our sturdy little home for granted, though.

Remember that tardigrades are little Terminators. We're not. Humans, it turns out, really like Earth the way it is now.

If we want to last as long as the tardigrades do, we have some work ahead of us — like preparing for climate change, protecting the biosphere, and maybe keeping an eye out for some of those smaller asteroids.

But if these scientists are correct, no matter what, life on Earth is going to survive a long, long time.

So take that, universe, you're stuck with us.

Three scientists from Oxford and Harvard universities were interested in just what it would take to sterilize the Earth — not just wipe out humanity, but get a really deep scrub in there and completely wipe out life.

What they found is that life could survive pretty much anything the universe is going to throw at us for at least 7.6 billion years.

To figure this out, they looked at the greatest survivors ever.

Not humans. Not sharks. Tardigrades.

Big, impressive life — humans and whales and Tyrannosaurus rexes — are actually kind of fragile. We depend on very specific environments to survive. But there are much tougher creatures out there, wriggling around, like tardigrades.

Tardigrades are basically tiny little Terminators. GIF from "Cosmos."

Also known as water bears, these microscopic little guys are tough as nails. Tardigrades can be frozen, irradiated, starved for decades — heck, they've even survived the vacuum of space!

After doing a bunch of math about radiation and pressure and other factors, the scientists determined the only way to wipe out these little buggers would be to boil the entire ocean. Let me repeat that: The only way to get rid of them is to boil the ocean.

And boiling the ocean just isn't likely to happen anytime soon. You'd have to slam the planet with a truly gigantic asteroid, or hit it with a supernova or an ultra-powerful gamma ray burst. The scientists did the math, and they say all of those are just too rare or too far away to matter to a tardigrade.

"Life, once it gets going, is hard to wipe out," study co-author Dr. David Sloan said in a press release.

GIF from "Jurassic Park."

Basically, life on Earth is probably going to survive as long as the sun does.

Unfortunately, there is an end point. In about 7.6 billion years, the sun's going to evolve into a red giant star. At that point, it'll either devour the Earth or be bright enough to, yes, boil the oceans.

That's a long way away. Life has only been on Earth for about 3.8 billion years — multicellular life even less. In only about 600 million years, we went from worms to dinosaurs to Carl Sagan. Imagine what another 7.6 billion years will get us. Life on Earth hasn't even hit middle age yet.

The researchers say this gives hope to the possibility of finding life on other planets.

Perhaps the deep soils of Mars or the volcanic oceans of Europa or Enceladus have their own little microscopic Terminators too.

"If tardigrades are Earth's most resilient species, who knows what else is out there," said Dr. Rafael Alves Batista, a co-author of the study.

That doesn't mean we humans should take our sturdy little home for granted, though.

Remember that tardigrades are little Terminators. We're not. Humans, it turns out, really like Earth the way it is now.

If we want to last as long as the tardigrades do, we have some work ahead of us — like preparing for climate change, protecting the biosphere, and maybe keeping an eye out for some of those smaller asteroids.

But if these scientists are correct, no matter what, life on Earth is going to survive a long, long time.

So take that, universe, you're stuck with us.

Since I’ve started on my bachelor’s and have different classes and class amount, I can’t promise all of these will be finished on time or will be of equal quality.

I struggled if I should write less with longer results, or if I should post every day like the past two years, but I decided to go with the second one since I enjoy it.

This does mean the substance and quality may vary depending on the day, there may also be changes to characters and content depending on what i feel like writing

A Healing Touch~ Part 1

Rex-Splode! Rex Sloan x Superpowered! Reader

Summary: Working at the Superhero Hospital under Cecil was not something you looked forward to, until Rex Sloan comes in, close to death, and you have a chance to save him in more ways than you could imagine.

Trigger Warnings: Violence, Death, Injury, and Emotional Distress

Word Count: 1139

Every day you spent at your dads work the more you wished you had just stayed home. Every day you left and shadowed your dad at the hospital for superheroes he works at. You and your dad shared a power. You were able to direct the healing process in the bodies of others, allowing broken bones to heal in a fraction of the time, shrink tumors given enough time, and so much more that you were learning by shadowing your dad.

You watch him perform routine checkups on Black Samson, surgeries on Night Boy after his tussle with Invincible, and now the biggest attack on a superhero team since the original Guardians of the Globe were killed in the fight that also took your mother's life.

There was no time to think about that when you saw all the Dupli-Kates wheeled in on a stretcher, unmoving, and most certainly not breathing. Shrinking Ray, covered in goo and blood, again not moving but with a woman on her chest performing chest compressions. Lastly, a boy with a missing left hand and a hole in the front of his skull.

His head shifted as the gurney made its sharp turns into what you knew was trauma one, while Shrinking Ray went into trauma two, and Dupli-Kate into a different room which you knew people rarely came out of.

You made a move to follow but he just shook his head and closed the door. You spent the night at the hospital because your dad spent 19 hours working on the boy in trauma one.

When he walked out of the room he put his head in his hands and sat down next to you. Explained how the treatments and the surgeries didn't fully heal him. That he had something to ask of you.

"Your healing aura will help... him. If you stay in his room while he recovers, his chance of recovery increases exponentially. You can say no if you-"

"I can do this, Dad. My first job" You sat and smiled at each other for a minute.

"You're good, you know that?" You made eye contact with him, and gave him a little smile.

"Thanks, Dad. It means a lot coming from you"

"Your mom would be so proud of the person you've become"

He escorted you to the room where the boy lay, his chest steadily rising and falling, half his skull covered in a machine, all his hair shaved. Even in this state, you saw the beauty he radiated.

Quickly you shoved the thoughts out of your head and brushed away your father's concerns of leaving you at the hospital alone. You were grown, and most of all you were ready for some responsibility. 

~~~

The next few days were a blur. You found yourself pacing the room, or the hallway just outside to get your blood flowing. Reading in the chair next to him, sometimes out loud in case he could hear you. Or asleep curled up in the chair beside his bed. Often nurses came in and asked you questions about how he was doing, and if anything had changed.

You had taken to answering these questions in as professional a manner as you could muster. Often the nurses would smile at you and tell you to hit the call button if anything changed. Your dad came in sometimes to check the healing progress and remarked how quickly he seemed to be healing.

Sometimes his friends would come by, and you excused yourself leaving the room to give them their privacy. Sometimes you would check up on your dad and his patients or go to the cafeteria to get a coffee. His friends visited a lot, with Eve, Atom Eve, visiting the most. You often wondered to yourself if they were a couple, but again shut the thoughts out of your head.

~~~

You lay on your stomach on the floor next to the bed, reading your fourth book in the past 3 days when you heard a groan from above you.

Shooting to your feet you saw who you've come to know as Rex's eyes looking around the room and trying to move his limbs. You quickly hit the call button with shaky hands to alert a nurse and stood next to him.

"Rex. You're okay. You are injured and you are in recovery. Please stay calm," You had been preparing for this in the days you spent in this room, but it made your throat tight and your hands clammy at the moment.

"Wha's happening?" which came out a little more like "wash hapin"

Nurses quickly swarmed his bedside to take vitals and look into his eyes when his hand closed around yours. He squeezed your hand as the nurses and doctors poked and prodded at his wounds, and you just stood there watching it happen.

Nurses drew blood from his arm, shined lights in his eyes, and tested reflexes. They rushed out with samples and in with pain medication. The lights were being brightened and dimmer everything made you want to turn and run, but still Rex held your hand in his. Grounding you as you were his lifeline to a hint of normalcy.

Once the doctors and nurses left he fell asleep again, and your hand loosened from his iron grip. You pulled your chair up next to his and before you could stop yourself, put your hand on top of his.

~~~

A whisper pulled you from your sleep, "Eve?"

His speech was more clear than it was just a few hours ago, and you sat up realizing that your head was resting on the hospital bed with your hand on top of his.

"Oh, no, sorry, my name's Y/n, and I've been helping you heal the past week or so" You pulled your hand away but he gently grabbed your wrist, but let go when he saw your raised eyebrows and wide eyes.

"Shit, sorry, your hand was fine there, it actually felt pretty good," You rested your hand on his again with a slight smile, "You were talking to me... when I was asleep"

You nodded your head, "Yeah, sometimes I would talk to you, and sometimes I would read to you. I figured you might get bored if you could hear me but I wasn't saying anything. Sorry if that bothered you"

"No, it was nice. Would you mind reading to me some more, ya know, until I fall asleep"

"I can do that Rex,

November 7, 1991, Dear friend, It was one of those days that I didn’t mind going to school because the weather was so pretty. The sky was overcast with clouds, and the air felt like a warm bath. I don’t think I ever felt that clean before..."

Barely audible you heard Rex mumble, "Thank you"

Behold, the most absurd all-time NBA 2k lineups for every team

You had great suggestions for each team’s all-time starting 5. I, on the other hand, had terrible ones.

Dope news: NBA 2K18 will allow you the chance to play with the best possible all-time roster for all 30 NBA franchises. Ever wonder how your favorite team’s legends of yesteryear mesh with your best players today? Wonder no more, thanks to the magic of sports’ best video game.

This got us thinking about who would make each franchise’s all-time starting 5. So, we asked you and tracked your responses.

It also got me thinking about the dumbest all-time starting 5s I could put together for each team. (Why? I don’t know. I gave up trying to figure out my brain years ago).

Below are the answers to both of those questions. If you can come up with a weirder all-time starting 5 for your favorite team, let me know in the comments.

If you look back in NBA history, the Spurs surrounded David Robinson with some weird rosters full of mediocre vets. Would Tim Duncan fare any better than Robinson did with them? I’d love to know.

Your way better lineups

Spurs: - Parker - Manu - Kawhi - Timmy - Robinson 6Man: Gervin Bench: J. Silas, Bowen, Aldridge, D. Green and Diaw because he's the GOAT https://t.co/l1Hx4rDOX7

TORONTO RAPTORS

My pointless lineup

PG: Mike James SG: Vince Carter SF: Joey Graham PF: Rafael Araujo C: Andrea Bargnani

How many Raptors fans would enjoy seeing Vince Carter punished with this sad team?

UTAH JAZZ

My pointless lineup

PG: Raul Neto SG: Delaney Rudd SF: Quincy Lewis PF: Scott Padgett C: Greg Ostertag

Remember when Delaney Rudd had an awesome moment in the 1992 playoffs? I swear, it happened!

WASHINGTON BULLETS/WIZARDS

My lineup to prove a point

PG: Mark Price SG: Michael Jordan SF: Bernard King PF: Charles Oakley C: Moses Malone

Did you know all of these guys played for this franchise? Bet you didn’t, but it’s true. (Alt lineup: Muggsey Bogues | Nick Young | Ladell Eackles | Andray Blatche | JaVale McGee).
