Nah, that's the newest series of 'sportsman' photos his handlers set up. There was an earlier series of them shot at an airport showing Effington tryin' to be 'just one of the guys.' They tossed a football to the idiot and he looked like he was fielding a radioactive 105mm cannon shell. He had genuine fear and incompetence written all over his face and he held his hands like a debutant girl wrestling with a jackhammer. Then they switched to baseball and got the same results.
A few weeks later, they shot this series and found a couple that made him look like he could catch something other than a cold.
ROFL!
