Will the One Tough Nerd Governor find this geeky Internet game funny?

A spectacular image of Gov. Rick Snyder captured at just the right moment three years ago is resurfacing for an odd reason.

The photo shot by retired Detroit Free Press photographer Julian H. Gonzalez at a 2013 U-M men's basketball game shows freshman forward Mitch McGary nearly kicking the Governor as he goes for a loose ball.

The users of the popular Internet forum PsBattles on Reddit.com have taken an interest in a three-year-old photo of Gov. Snyder in their latest image editing competition known as a Photoshop Battle. The post may have enough steam behind it to end up on the site's front page.

Users vote to determine the winner among these and the rest of the submissions.

Including a knockout kick ...
