BREAKING: Cole Aldrich tooth secrets revealed!

Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports

Jonah Ballow's conversation with Cole Aldrich is a treasure...

...and Jonah finally asked Aldrich my lifelong (YES LIFELONG) question about when he chooses to go tooth-in vs. tooth-out. Cole didn't give a straight answer, but he did demonstrate the swiftness with which he can morph from Business Cole to Party Cole:

THE SOUNDS. THEY'RE SO TOOTHY.

I just really want this to be a gesture with on-court meaning. Like Business Cole comes in the game and does some stuff, then someone hits him with a hard foul and he's like UH UH BUDDY, IT'S ON and out comes the tooth. Party Cole doubles as Rowdy Cole in this instance.

Anyway, thanks guys. Good talk. I love the Speed Drills.
