One day after the event, which, no, I didn't watch.

[amanuensis1]

I maintain that football would be more fun if the players were all in love with each other.

Seriously. All that hugging after a successful play. Don't you love the idea of the quarterback whispering to his downfield receiver, after a touchdown pass, "Dude. You are so gonna come your brains out tonight, mmmwah!"?

(My male collegues never seem to know how to react when I mention this.)

You know, that makes sense. And it'd just serve as motivation, no?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

"Come on, guys! If we beat the ten-point spread, flavored condoms for everyone, woo!"

[teawithvoldy.livejournal.com]

LOL.

on a different but funny note:

There was a Aussie football player (rugby) who used to throw his opponants off concentration by sticking his fingers up their asses on the plaing field.

EEK!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Snorfle! Man, that takes me back. I saw a Harlem Globetrotter do that once to a guy trying to take his free throw.

[ellid.livejournal.com]

Hockey is even worse. They not only hug after goals, they're constantly patting each other on the butt.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

The butt-patting is the best part!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

In your cockles! Right?

Football love

[justinetre.livejournal.com]

*grinds in seat* Dude, now there's some incentive to watch!

Re: Football love

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

It really makes the game more fun, if you imagine all that going on in all the hugging!

[hpsauce.livejournal.com]

Ah, the joys of American football.
Soccer is better. You have to see the fuss when someone scores a goal, there is kissing, accompanying the hugging, and half of the time one has his legs wrapped around the others waist.

There was even this huge controversy a few months ago when one player grabbed another's 'tackle' when trying to get the ball. *sniggers*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I know, soccer celebrating is so darn sweet! Doesn't quite get me to watch it, but I love catching clips like that.

[nothingbutfic.livejournal.com]

...What, you mean they don't?, says the person who's read football player RPS fic.

[ellid.livejournal.com]

There is (or, God help us, was) a hockey player mpreg archive. *shudders in horror*

[pen-and-umbra.livejournal.com]

And now there's this ginormous-and-somehow-anatomically-impossible RPS orgy playing in my head. At work. Great. *sigh*

Helmets and greasepaint and quivering manly thighs, oh my!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Can thighs quiver if they're manly? Oh, hell, in my universe, anything can happen.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_hannelore/]

Even more amusing to think of the guys in their homes hugging and patting after a big touchdown.

_*snickers*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Food, beer, sports, and sex. What wouldn't guys like about this, honestly?

[mklutz]

Dude, then you should be reading sports fanfiction.
...
It exists.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

It would be such a teasing, shameless read, I know.

[cheshyre]

Well, what are we expected to think about a game with positions labelled "tight end" and "wide receiver"?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*rim shots*

*notes that even that sounds dirty*

[orange-bastard.livejournal.com]

And some of those ends are *so tight* drool. Now I'll never be able to watch football again without thinking about this. thank you

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Just doin' my duty, ma'am. *rides off into sunset*

[gobsmackit.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yis. Every time Tom Brady holds his helmet against another player's and talks intensely, I imagine dirty, dirty things. 'Cause...hot. Tom Brady/Christian Fauria OTP!!! :P

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ah, kindred spirit!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_riz/]

Dude, I don't care about football but I'm in New England so it happens, and seriously there was a moment last night when even my friend's family were all like "Oh my god they totally were about to kiss if those helmets weren't in the way!" Oh, Tom Brady.

I did greatly enjoy all the photos last fall of my Red Sox dousing each other in champagne and clinging.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Man, I like your family! Ha ha ha!

[justacat.livejournal.com]

Don't you love the idea of the quarterback whispering to his downfield receiver, after a touchdown pass, "Dude. You are so gonna come your brains out tonight, mmmwah!"

Oh yes oh yes oh yes, I am so with you on this!

(And on that note, take a look at this pic a friend found and posted in her LJ recently ....)

[ellid.livejournal.com]

Followed about fifteen seconds later by a long, sloppy, wet kiss involving tongues and a great deal of groping.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

*laughs self silly in the library*

it's probably why they pour the cold water out of the cooler onto each other after something really spectacular, so they can contain their excitement until they at least get to the locker room shower.

[sor-bet.livejournal.com]

Aw geez. *imagining the locker room shower*

Saw Brett Hull on SNL awhile back. I'd watch hockey if they all looked like that. And nice photo, justacat!

[titti]

Now, your idea of football I'd watch.

"Did you touch my ass?"

"Hell yes, and I won't do it again unless you score." *cough* "Well you know what I mean...the game."

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, YES!

[silentauror.livejournal.com]

*snerk* This is hilarious! I always bring up this very thing, with my sports-obsessed brother. He always laughs, but I think he's secretly horrified by all the arse-petting himself. *sigh* He's such a straight boy.

Your male colleagues! Mwah! That's so funny! Poor straight men, they just never seem to understand. And they'd all be so much happier, if they just engaged in a little arse-petting themselves! Thanks for sharing this little thought. :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I try not to make their eyes bug out too much, but, damn, I'm bugged just as much by men not understanding that some women think that's hot as I am by essential homophobia.

[bungee.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the ass-smacking, either. That's an integral part of football, from what I understand.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yup, favorite bit!

[saturn92103.livejournal.com]

I don't know about football but I'm mightily convinced that Derek Jeter and A-Rod make good use of their locker room.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

We can only hope. Sigh!

[dien.livejournal.com]

My god, I've so had this thought before. (Sort of.) I once told my only female colleague in my computer lab (whilst all the men were taking bets on the upcoming Game) that the world would be so much better if the Forty-Niners were renamed the Sixty-Niners.

...No, she didn't laugh either.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I can imagine: stony-faced and giving you "WTF?" eyes. Too bad!

[lillian78.livejournal.com]

It made me wonder when I heard what went on in some those player pileups...grabbing another guy's testicles and squeezing? Who knows what else goes on down there LOL!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I think the number of guys carried off on stretchers would quintuple instantly.

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

Bahahaha, that would sure make it and the whole commercial thingy more worth it. Oh yeah.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, let's see the masses go off about "wholesome family entertainment" about that one.

[goseaward.livejournal.com]

I would just like to mention that it always throws me of when you mention work. For some reason I have this image of you as a goddess of pr0n, sitting around all day doing nothing but reading & writing fanfic. ;)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I seriously wish I had a job consisting of half-days, because that's the only way I can ever see myself having enough time to catch up on all the fandom-related stuff I wish I could do! As it is...oof, you don't want to know my work schedule. And your vision of me makes me happy in a toe-curling "wouldn't that be ideal?" way!

[zuzu-jane.livejournal.com]

LOL! That would be awesome!!!! It might even entice me to watch a game or two besides the Superbowl. ;-D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Me, I go for college football, so, I'm not even tuning in for the Superbowl!
