"Boys should watch football." (A little bit O.T.)
« on: May 05, 2006, 08:54:31 am »
(Girls might like it, too.)

I never cared much for the game, or for L.D. Newsome's dictum, but lookit who's coming to Philadelphia to play for our Eagles.

I may need to make space on the refrigerator door, right next to Jake. ...

(Besides being a football star, he was on the U.S. Olympic ski team at Turin. That was where I first heard of him.)

All I have is the link to the web site. When I tried to steal those pics, they wouldn't show up as j-pegs.

But I've already printed out the B&W pic with the mussed-up hair. Pretty. ...

Interesting bio stuff on the web site with the pics. I saw an interview with him on our local NBC affiliate this week. Apparently there are family ties to the Philadelphia area.

It still puzzles me that he's excited--or says he's excited--to become an Eagle. ...

Football?    Never cared for it.    The game moves way too slow for me.    40 seconds of action then you wait 5 minutes before anything happens again.   Sheesh!

And those outfit are too bulky and padded to really see the guys.    At least in baseball they wear tighter pants and you see their faces.   Not that I watch baseball either.
 
 Mens swimming/diving  anyone?       :o

Does the name Alexandre Despatie mean anything to you, David?  ;)

no kidding! compared to Aussie Football and rugby with their short shorts or even original football, otherwise called "soccer", American "football" is uninteresting.

Canadian diving hunk.

No photos but he's on the same site as Jeremy Bloom, and, of course, he has his own web site. Unfortunately I have the link to his site at home, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find if you Google him.

Um, check out the one with the red Speedo. ...

Maybe that ballast helps him dive better. ...

Not into football - yes I know, blasphemous for a Texan, but I saw every single game during my last two high school years and have had enough football for a lifetime.

For men's bodies, can't get much better than platform diving (e.g. Greg Louganis style).

In his prime, Greg Louganis was a god. ...

One of the sexiest men ever to walk this planet.

Oh, yeah, he was a great diver, too!  ;D
