it has not been so long, in the evolution of american sports, since so much was made of joe dimaggio, late in a world series game his team was losing, kicking at the dirt in disappointment as he followed a george stirnweiss walk and a yogi berra single with what seemed a sure extra-base hit that was snatched out of the sky by, google tells me, dodgers reserve outfielder al gionfriddo (who had been put in expressly to handle whatever dimaggio could hit at him)

The Ronaldo one looks photoshopped.

Now you mention it, the Ronaldo one is obviously photoshopped.

Huh. So it is.

i think someone gave me a "good game" last night at the kid 606 show

― howell huser (chaki), Sunday, 18 December 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

The photoshopped one is what made me realize how much of the funny here is in how the camera angles and the exact second of photography wind up making it all look like something else, like way beyond what's actually going on; probably if you watched the stuff in real time, from different angles, it would seem totally normal. (And probably if you photographed the hell out of some other activity you'd get some of the same stuff.)

That wrestling pic is still gold, though. And I have to say, a lot of those baseball players are giving one another some super-intense looks, like the kind of deep intimate looks that in normal life really usually are followed by making out.

You know, sports seems to be the only field where "tough" men can exhibit physical signs of affection towards each other without being labeled gay, so do you have to ruin that too? Two guys hugging does not a gay make.

Tuomas'"humorless european" shtick has been going on for this long? WHY DOES FINLAND HAVE A INTERNET, THEY OBVIOUSLY SUCK AT IT.

― Unlimited Toothpicker (eman), Saturday, 6 May 2006 03:25 (twenty years ago)

Here I was thinking that Tuomas "Milkshake" represented the proof of my theory that Europeans are only about "being comfortable with their bodies."

Are you sure, Drew? (I mean, I WANT to believe.)

I'm pretty sure that that is the Melbourne Storm rugby team in their locker room after a game, and I'm 100% certain that that photo is muy caliente.
