McGwire's Body Language Examined

 

It was the interview watched across America. Mark McGwire's tearful admission to using steroids. We heard what his mouth said, but what about his body language? Jennifer Rigdon is a body language expert and she talked more about what McGwire didn't say during his interview with Bob Costas.

Who is Jennifer Rigdon and what is her background?

And what is a "bukanator movement" in the face? I have never heard this phrase before. Would you please elaborate on it?

In the sneer, buccinator muscles (innervated by lower buccal branches of the facial nerve) contract to draw the lip corners sideward to produce a sneering "dimple" in the cheeks.

Jennifer Rigdon is a Professor at Washington University In St. Louis in the Communication Department.

The way she gives her thoughts really bug me. I feel as if she comes in and really tries to hammer Mark McGwire. I agree with majority of what she is saying but her demeanor is bugging me! Is anybody else getting the same feeling or is it just me?
