Lions getting better

Photographer Clint Davis has posted some photos of Matthew on his website. This is what he had to say about Matthew, "To date he is the least emotional subject I've shot. He was sooooooooooo laid back. 'OK Matthew throw the ball like you're about to be sacked by a 300lb linebacker'... "alright.""

This is one of the photos. Visit Clint's site to see more.
