While some may think its emblematic of his toughness, I feel the exact opposite. Paulus has a certain attitude while on the court. That "I'm gonna tap you in the balls, pull on your jersey, offensively hand-check you while the ref's not looking, then when he is looking, dramtically flop and clutch some sort of phantom injury to draw extra simpathy from the ref" attitude. Now some may see that as exagerating things a bit, but to the skeptics, I say tune into the Carolina game Saturday for a "Live from Durham" showing of the Greg Paulus drama. His antics are sure to be lively for this one. The only problem with his actions, however, are that once he steps off the court, he's no longer under the protection of the ref's, security guards, or the Blue Devil mascot (who I'm sure if he got a hold of you with his spear would ruin your night). Growing up in Durham, I realized at a young age which parts of town to avoid no matter what time of day and that people in those parts of town tend to react a little crazy to the most insignificant of things. Duke University happens to not be in one of those parts of town but there are plenty of Bull City citizens that resent everything that a Duke student/athelete embodies. I won't even mention the word Lacrosse but you get my drift. So it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Paulus found himself in a certain public restaurant/bar after hours, somewhere that his 6 feet nothing, 100 pound nothing frame of a body wouldn't last a NY minute. Given that his black eyes keep reappearing, it seems that he has yet to learn his lesson. But thats just my theory, I'd like to believe every bit of it to be true, nonetheless, I applaud the perp(s) responsible and say keep em coming!
