In my job I have to be around TV sets, usually blaring football during FB season. Since I couldn’t care less about the actual game, I only notice when the announcers make an odd comment.
Tonight I heard “That’s a good looking tight end…”
The word “penetration” is used an awful lot. My favorite, however, was a while ago… the announcer said “You know Bob, [Player’s name] went both ways in college…”
Huh?? All I can figure is that the player must have played both offense and defense for his college team.
Yes, that is what that means.
You know, if you only listen to the announcer’s comments, you’re missing out on 75% of the homoeroticism inherent in football.
Speaking of homoeroticism…anyone watched smackdown lately? It’s full of it.
All I know is ball-carriers sure do get nailed a lot during a game. Not to mention drilled, slammed and pounded. What’s to come from our announcers in the future?
“Boy he really got sucked-off on that play!”
“A decent enough pass, unfortunately the receiver really rode some man-meat on the 30 yard line.”
“You can’t let up for one second with this defense or they’ll bust right in and fuck your brains out.”
I can’t wait.
[Hijack] This is about Baseball not Football but one of the funniest calls to a local sports talk radio show I’ve ever heard had a wonderful older lady revealing the many double entradas of the sport. I heard it live and almost crashed my car. The radio station has wisely archived the call on their site. Not sure if a direct link like this onewill work for an audio clip. If not just paste this URL into your favorite media playing utility:

Now Torgo that sounds like my kind of game… All those tight pants and jockstaps … 
Anybody else open this to think it was going to be a rant on library subject headings?
Football, homoeroticism in – the best new subject heading to show up at your local library!
My sophomore year in high school I went to the homecoming football game, and as my friends and I sat on the railing behind the stands [the stands were packed, and there was no room for anyone anywhere] the football team went by, and I saw one guy grab another’s ass.
Not “pat.”
Not “slap good-naturedly.”
But GRAB. And squeeze.
Bloody hell. And these are the same brilliant young men who call the theatre geekies “fags.”
Excuse me, dears, but which of our groups showers together, eh???
That’s where the title comes from. A joke about football and card catalogs from The Simpsons:
[Lisa flips through the card catalog]
Lisa: “Let’s see… Football… Football… Homoeroticism in'... Oddball Canadian rules’… `Phyllis George and’…”
Oh, Christ, I’m dyin’ over here…
Is there a single friggin word in the English language that could not be considered to have some sexual connotation?
D’oh! I need to remember my Simpsons better!
Sorry, Dr. Lao and grendel72!
The third or fourth string Cleveland QB is unfortunately named Josh Booty. A friend and I were watching a preseason game he played in and lamenting the fact that he wasn’t a wide receiver, because of the possibility of lines like ‘…and the QB is looking for Booty…’ ‘…Booty goes deep!’ ‘…Booty brings down the ball and then gets hammered!’
Okay, I guess that’s not homoeroticism.
What I find interesting is the fact that I work in an office with several openly homophobic males, who see nothing wrong or untoward whatsoever in seeing their “heros” in tights pat, slap, and grope each other’s arses every Sunday - yet if that happened in front of them IRL, they would start looking to give someone a beating to teach them a lesson for “acting gay”. :rolleyes:
Context, Anthracite. There’s a time and place for everything, and the office is not the place for grabassing, homophobia aside.
Let’s leave that to the gridiron and “Leather Nite.”
What I like are the players that started out as tight ends, but now they’re wide receivers.
Tight ends always make the best receivers.
On one of the morning Radio shows here in Detroit, they used to play this segment that was a made-up advertisment for a Pay-per-view gay orgy. this particular orgy however, included play-by-play commentary using actual dialog between Pat Summerall and John Madden. it was pretty funny.
So…I guess I need to rethink my appreciation of the Green Bay Packers? :eek:
