<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Looking at Earl Watson's winning smile, you could never imagine the ordeals he's had to endure to maintain his appearance. One day after a third dental procedure in three weeks, Watson said he is playing with a mouthpiece to protect his front two teeth, which have been knocked out a combined three times in preseason. The last incident happened Wednesday against Sacramento, when Kings guard Kevin Martin swung his elbow and knocked out both of Watson's teeth. One of them lodged in Watson's throat and he began briefly choking on the court. "Knocking out my teeth twice in two weeks is a sign," he said. "You would think it would never happen again, but I need to guard myself better and do whatever I can to protect my mouth. I am a small guy, but I am a tough guy, and I am tough enough to take the hits." Watson will play in Wednesday's opener and wore his mouthpiece for the first time Saturday.</div> Source Now we know why Ridnour had to moonlight as an MLB player. He used the supplemental income to pay people off to take out Watson.
