Around the League; New Gayest Thing Ever

There's some goofy stuff going on in training camps around the league. Aparrently Julius Peppers is a softie that needs his accomodations. Cardinals Insider is a little slow getting their news out.

But stop the presses! We have a new Gayest Thing Ever, and the award goes to... the St. Louis Rams.

New head coach Scott Linehan loaded the entire team on buses yesterday and let them "splish and splash" in a local water park.


"It was therapy for the mind to go get into the pool a little bit, and it's also good for the legs to get into the water," Linehan said.

GAA~AAAYYY!!!

But wait: You know with me, IT ALWAYS GETS WORSE.

"That was interesting seeing that human chain going down the slide," Linehan said. "I was a little nervous making sure that they didn't pile (on) each other, making sure they came up."

This is the new NFL's Gayest Thing Ever, replacing the Arizona Cardinals' fashion show debacle for the #1 spot.

What is wrong with the NFC West? The Niners look downright rugged when lined up against these teams.

Here's to six more division wins!

  3. So are you saying I'm gay because I took my wife and kids there? We splished and splashed, for sure. I guess I somehow missed the massive frontal bulge in my wife's bikini. (or did I?...)

    The Rams would've gotten kicked out of Milton-Freewater's aquatic center by a pimply 16yo lifeguard for that chain gang action. Security must be lax in Mizzou!

  4. Well, I personally don't see anything wrong with it. Though the quote is funny. I think its a good way for the team to bond. College teams do stuff like this all the time. Considering the chemistry problems the Rams had in the past (based off of that SI article last season) I'd say the team could use it.

    I know I'm probably going to be knocked down on the Seahawk Fan Rankings (totally made that up, know clue where I'd rank) but I'll actually give kudos to Linehan for having the cajones as a rookie coach to try something unorthodox like this.

  5. I agree, Alan. Really, (and I might get kicked off the site for this revelation,) but I always felt the practice of "adopt-a-Seahawk" was kinda gay, myself. Informally "adopting" an athletic, young adult male? That's like the adventures that get posted on "Will and Grace" fan fiction sites (or so I assume.)

  6. LOL! Too funny CK.
    I agree with Alan, you don't see that too often in the NFL. It is a pretty Bold move
    by Linehan, and they probably need it.

    It still seems weird that I guy I went to school with at U of I is a head coach now.

  7. No, It's gay.

    If a lady wears a bikini, it's not gay. If I wear one, it's gay. If a supermodel struts down a fashion show runway, it's not gay. If Larry Fitzgerald does it, it's gay. If Citizen K takes his family to the water park, it's not gay. If a bunch of professional football players put on a bathing suit and form a butts-to-boners chain down a water slide when they should be working on their football skills, it's gay.

    However, one caveat: Nothing Joe Tafoya does could possibly be gay.

  9. Come on, blue! You have to admit that football--even without daisy-chain waterslides--is one of the most homoerotic sports out there. Sweaty men piling up on each other, grasping at each other, showering with each other, rooming together... I'll bet Hasselbeck doggystyles Tobeck 100,000% more often than he does his wife. NFL football is gay, period, waterslides or no.

  10. Oh Jesus...I sense an anti-rugby rant coming on from someobody.

    And to parody your award Citizen K, I do not like the image of Hass and Tobeck doggy style. At all. I might be forced to gouge out my eyes with a red hot poker just so that I have no visual sensors left.

  11. Actually, the gayest thing ever is the new referee uniforms. Something tells me, if you wore won of those to an S&M club, you'd be whipped and penetrated so fast you'd forget to drop your flag.

    Here's the link for the info.

  12. Citizen K, the Ghost of Knute Rockne is looking for you. He want to kick your ass. Sleep well.

    On the other hand, there are two teams with pirate logos. Hmm. And now you can't have Cowboys without a Brokeback reference. Double hmm. My, how times have changed.

    Alan, I don't know if the new unis are gay or just STUPID. Don't mess with tradition like that. I know, they want to be cooler when it's hot, warmer when it's cold, blah blah blah. But they need to improve the performance of the referees, not their image or underwear.

  13. Come on Citizen K! Is that what you are thinking about when you are watching football! Hass getting in beetween Tobeck legs. Your thoughts may be a little gay!

  14. I know gay when I see it, and a hunched-over guy with his paws in a bent-over guy's ass-crack, hoping to grab a "pigskin" is in no way hetero. It doesn't diminish my appreciation for the game, but it's patently obvious to me that the chance to grab another man's privates on national TV--in the guise of "tackling" him--is the main reason most players strive to reach the NFL. I pity the fool who doesn't admit that to themselves.

    Oh, and you misspelled "between." Also, "Tobeck's."

    Also, "F11."

  15. Look, my whole point is that going on a waterslide with a bunch of other guys is not any more gay than anything else football players do together, and compared to some cases (such as the "QB/center position," and group showering) watersliding is, in fact, less gay. That's all I'm saying. If you think watersliding is gay, then football must be gay.

    My last post on the subject

  16. I never said watersliding was gay, I dident start the topic. I know that there is a lot of physical touching with big men in tights and all, but so what. When I watch a game, Im not distracted by how "gay" the game is. Im sorry that you are! I actually hear people say it all the time. All I say is, you dont really understand the point of the game, if thats the way you feel. The pourpose in my mind is chrushing a guys skull in, in order to help your team win!!
