I don't know, I find it hard to picture Battier growing a beard and splitting logs for firewood...

And his new daughter's name is Eloise.

Hmmm....maybe you have a suggestion for a nickname? :)

He's also golfing at this event: http://www.tahoecelebritygolf.com/.

You can actually pledge to donate to his charity here: http://takechargefoundation.com/

He's going to donate for each par he gets and is asking others to do the same. Pretty cool.

I had the pleasure of meeting him and Dunleavy recently. Couldn't have been nicer guys. It was a lot of fun for me and folks around the office.

Here's a fun pic that makes me look like I was cut off at the ankles. http://d.pr/WyF
They're tall.

Sounds worth while to me. I signed up for a donation - I hope he shoots even par!

A charge from Shaq on a fast break my rookie year and it was the dumbest thing I ever did in my entire life.”

LOL. Nice article, talks about the lockout, his family life, and the culture of the Memphis Grizzlies.
