Ned, it comes straight from the pages of the Decibel blog, and they never lie.

I once heard a sports announcer say "Beckham takes it tastily up the back end."

"checking that they're still there". riiiiiight.

Wow! Stellar contributions of late.

Jesse, Monday, 28 April 2008 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

uh the homoeroticism of the wrestling one is certainly intentional. it's pro wrestling, come on now

elmo argonaut, Monday, 28 April 2008 16:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah but we don't have a intentionally homoerotic sports imagery thread. Also, it's more likely to be lol homophobic humiliation, surely?

Noodle Vague, Monday, 28 April 2008 16:15 (sixteen years ago) link

haha well the subtext is analingus, so eroticism is implicit i think

elmo argonaut, Monday, 28 April 2008 16:24 (sixteen years ago) link

oh boy, this reminds me. i was sending out invitations to my book launch party to some magazine editors at people and us weekly, and accidentally attached the wrestling/tongue/al-franken photo instead of the invite jpg. OOOOOPS...

phil-two, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 11:34 (sixteen years ago) link

"accidentally"

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 12:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Ha! That "wrestling/tongue/al-franken" is a local guy, and the original SI photo held Excelsior spot on the bulletin board at work for years.

It's major wrestling country around here, and nothing is less popular with the photographers than the typical "assholes & elbows" grappling shot.

briania, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 12:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Because, lets face it, there's no way to shoot wrestling that doesn't make you look like Tom of Finland:

That "wrestling/tongue/al-franken" is a local guy, and the original SI photo held Excelsior spot on the bulletin board at work for years.

Hahaha! I have been wondering for god knows how long what he and people who knew him thought of that shot, so this might be as close as we'll get.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 13:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Well, I know him pretty well, but not well enough to ask him what he thought about the shot. I can testify that the homoeroticism is purely unintentional.

I showed your post of it to somebody connected with the athletic department team one time, and the conversation went something like, "OMG! LOL! Where did you FIND this!?" "Well it's from SI, but it's on this bulletin board I sometimes post to." (Sideways look) -- "Wait, why are you on some gay bulletin board?"

briania, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 14:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I can testify that the homoeroticism is purely unintentional.

Hey, I titled this thread the way it is for a reason.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 14:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Anyway why are you on some gay bulletin board etc.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 14:18 (sixteen years ago) link

i stole this from the sportsguy's column but holy christ...
