Racy Sports Commentary

Finally I understand why people enjoy watching figure skating. It has at least as much to do with the commentary as with the actual moves on the ice.

 

My wife is watching the... what's it called... Canadian Pairs Nationals (or something like that) from Moncton.

 

Here's some of the commentary...

 

"Look at that backwards entrance!"

 

"There's an extra-added difficulty doing it when you're tired."

 

"You can really see they're fighting to keep it up."

 

"That was picture perfect -- I loved her position!"

 

"She is new at this -- but he will help her through it -- talk to her a little bit -- help her relax."

 

"He's exactly the kind of partner that you want going into something like this."

 

"He's as strong as an ox."

 

Should this kind of stuff be allowed on prime-time TV?

i admit, its hard to hear that and NOT think about porn... but really, you can do that with anything.

 

remember the time madonna opened for chicago?   and if i turned on 'hockey night in canada', i'm sure that i'd hear chris cuthbert talking about how they are 'poking away at it in the crease'...

ROTFLMAO!

 

Sure beats CNN's election coverage (my 12 year-old pundit insists on watching the damn primaries).

Yeah, you never know where such comments will show up. Of course, it's all in the mind of the listener.

 

Here's what my pastor said this morning as part of the introduction to his sermon, "Charles Schultz was a cartoonist who has an amazing run in the newspapers on account of his Peanuts." The way he said the last word wasn't quite on key and the youth group broke out giggling.

LOL! Funny stuff.

 

Honestly though, I find the sports channel (TSN, sportsnet?)) to be over-hyped and obnoxious (not to mention the wierd graphics and stuff). I don't like it...my partner is a sports nut, so it's on here quite a bit...after awhile all those innuendos go right over my head, it's just chatter.. Actually he just talked to me as I typed this (explaining to him what I'm writing about) and he told me that he finds the commentators obnoxious too...okay, he's clearing up his complaint now..apparently their obnoxious chatter doesn't bother him as much as me...he was upset because as he was watching a re-run of a tennis match they showed the final score at the bottom of the screen...for a minute I thought he might consider boycotting watching it...no such luck!

 

Oh, okay, I have one..that Rafeal Nadal, and that little move he always makes "picking" his shorts...it's a nervous habit or something. The other morning they had a close up shot of him doing that...I guess the camera people were as bored as I was, and decided to zoom in. It was pretty funny.

It makes me think of the logo of the Atlanta Falcons NFL team.

 It wasn't obscene or anything (I didn't think), just one of those National Geographic type photos. To me, once I actually looked closely, it looked like a hawk swooping down to pick up a small bird sitting on a branch. Apparently, it was two little love birds mating in a tree.

Which is why they show such things so much on shows like Wild Kingdom. Don't you people like nature? At any rate, the avatar has been changed.
