Shane Battier's mustache makes him look like a state trooper


Shane Battier's mustache put him at a loss for words. First time for everything, I suppose.

Here's the picture of the new lip-tickler, via ESPN's Tom Haberstroh.

The general Twitter reaction is that it looks like a police officer's mustache, but I think, specifically, it looks more like a Virginia State Trooper's mustache. Far too many drives down I-85 have given me special insight into that look. All Battier needs is the campaign hat, the polarized sunglasses and the steely disapproval as someone asks, "what seems to be the problem, officer?"
