Daniel Murphy on Pop Culture

[bmfc1]

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/extramustard/03/18/pop.culture.grid/index.html

SI has a weekly feature where it asks various athletes questions about pop culture. It looks like Daniel Murphy does more than watch hitting tapes. I love his answer to what the locker room smells like. And someone should fix him up with Amanda Bynes.

[Benjamin Grimm]

My first thought: But she's just a kid! But I looked it up and Amanda will be 23 in a couple of weeks. So she's an appropriate age for Daniel Murphy.

To me, she IS a kid. But so is Daniel Murphy.

(She is awfully cute though.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder, though, how does "The Lord of the Rings" change anybody's life?

[Guest themetfairy]

He seems to be out of the David Wright mold.

(And "Lord of the Rings" changed his life... as a teenager. All of a sudden, my back is acting up and I feel like chasing kids off my imaginary lawn.)

He could hang out with my 19-year-old daughter. She loves that kind of stuff.

"Our locker room smells like: Wins." Love it! She may have started acting young, but...
