Project 365 (4/365)..........Heat Game

Well tonight I watch Heat and Hornets play at the American Airlines Arena.  Since I support both teams, I decided to root for the home team.  Unfortunately we lost, 93-87 in overtime, but I did get pictures for today.

This is just a funny picture.  My brother is not only looking like he's picking my nose, but he actually is trying to pick my nose.  So that's the result, a giant foam finger placed in my face for a pict

ure.  This is during half-time at the arena, for those who may be skeptical.

The next picture is of the jump ball at the beginning of over-time.  I tried and failed at the opening of the game, so I settled for the next best thing.  If you're w

ith me, you can say that's it's even more important cause it's overtime, and not the beginning.  "It's not you're entrance, but ytou're exit that everyone remembers," forgot who said it, but ti's true.

Well this is how the Heat left their arena tonight.  Losing the game by six in over-time.  Well at least good-job Hornets.

Favorite part of the game would most definately be when O'Neal smacked the ball straight out of the direction of the hoop onto the backboard, wish I got a picture of that. (Probably be able to find tomorrow online....)

Sports and Sex......There is a Connection

As I was watching the World Cup Qualifier match between El Savlvador and the U.S., the annoucner - who was not Mexican because I was watching it on ESPN and not Telemundo - stated, "This is what the U.S. team needed to do in the first 20-30 minutes of the game: penetrate with energy.  To get in a nd move the ball."  Now being the person I am, I couldn't help but think of how sexually oriented that sounded.  "Penetrate with energy"......just something every guy wants to do, why just penetrate?  By the time he hits that point he'll have plenty of energy - unless he's really old, and needs his blue diamond.

Pondering about this some more, all sports have some type of sexual personae to them.  In almost all sports, there is some type of penetration: wrestling, boxing, MMA all have to penetrate the opponents space; baseball has penetration of the strike zone; soccer, basketball, and football have penetration of the defense to the other end of the field or court.  There's also the connotation of catching balls, blocking balls, and saving balls.

Don't hold most known sports to be the only sexual connections: golf has a person hold a long club to control; hockey has the bigger guys smash into the smaller ones (some what like jail in the movies); rugby puts other players on their shoulders to catch the ball; polo has the player riding a horse to hit a ball with a woden stick.  So many sports have a sexual connections hidden within them, not purposely, but they are there none the less.  Enjoy.
