After finishing his playing career with unremarkable stints in Dallas, Golden State, Milwaukee and San Antonio, former longtime Indiana Pacers forward Austin Croshere returned to the Hoosier State to work as an analyst on Pacer broadcasts for Fox Sports Indiana.
While providing hilarious comedy is not necessarily part of his job description, he does maintain a Twitter presence, which he used Wednesday evening to deliver this Twitter goof about the Pacers’ training staff allegedly taking every precaution, because you can’t be too careful these days.
For those somehow unaware despite reading an NBA blog during a three-playoff-game Wednesday night in the beginning of May, “* Please Do Not Hit *” references New York Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire injuring his hand (and perhaps more than that) with a postgame punch of a fire extinguisher case following the Knicks’ Game 2 loss to the Miami Heat, a punch heard ’round the world.
The injury, which sounds like it was pretty gross, has inspired both scorn and sympathy for Stoudemire, as well as myriad goofs in the form of garments, GIFs and now Croshere’s graphic prop comedy. No ex-Pacer ever tires of needling a Knick; I’m sure if the roles were reversed, the approach would be the same. But seriously: Don’t hit it, guys. Hit something soft instead.

How The Federal Government Spies On Civilians
1. The NSA is building a massive data center in Utah to read every email you’ll ever send.
If leaked information about the complex is correct, nothing will be safe from the facility’s reach, from cell phone communications to emails to what you just bought with your card. And encryption won’t protect you — one of the facility’s priorities is breaking even the most complex of codes.
2. The FBI maintains detailed files on numerous public, semi-public, and private figures.
If you’re curious about what goods the FBI has on you, you can always submit a request to view your own personal file. It is worth noting, of course, that the government doesn’t profile everyone — just certain people of interest.
3. Homeland Security is reading your tweets and Facebook status messages.
Unless you play around with your Twitter and Facebook privacy settings, just about anything you say is public. Essentially, the government wants to read through your tweets and status messages to see if there’s any information that might help in detecting threats.
4. Your ISP may soon be required to keep files on what sites you visit.
That’s exactly what the Hawaii state legislature proposed this January with H.B. 2288 and companion bill S.B. 2530. The bill, sponsored by State Rep. John Mizuno (D), “requires internet service providers… keep consumer records for no less than two years.” The bill then goes on to specify that these records must include “each subscriber’s information and internet destination history information.” Thankfully, the bills’ sponsors withdrew the offending legislation from debate.
