Sexual Innuendos in Sports, It’s a Sticky Situation
I was driving along yesterday listening to some Doug Gottlieb on ESPN radio, when he said something that normally would have just gone in one ear, and out the other. I don’t exactly remember who he was referring to, but he was talking about a pitcher and his exact quote was, “his stuff is nasty”.
Like I said, normally I would have just brushed this off as a normal baseball saying and moved on. But I noticed the ol’ lady in the passenger seat giggling, and she responded, “haha, his stuff is nasty”, which of course in her head has nothing to do with sports (You can tell we have an extremely mature relationship).
But it made me realize, how often do we listen to sports when there are sayings that could be taken as sexual? It happens all the time, but I am so immune to these sayings, that I don’t even think of them as being anything other than what they are. But it also made me want to think of the funniest sexual innuendos in sports. And I’m not talking about your Tight End, Slot Receiver, Wide Receiver nonsense. I want some sayings that are borderline ridiculous. So here is a list that myself along with some help from MC McMahon have put together. I know there are a lot more out there, so if you can think of anymore, please let us know!
- Put it in the hole! (Tiger is perfectly aware of this one)
- He shot that right in his man’s face
- He needs to penetrate the hole and explode through it
- Those guys are trading blows
- They need to pound it up the middle
- He’s having a hard time getting loose
- That hole was so big you could drive a truck through it
- He’s heading to the sideline for a quick blow
- He’s trying to force it in there
- He’s going deep/He’s going long
- He’s struggling to keep it up
- He’s pushing too hard
- The grizzled veteran showing the young man the ropes
- Watch out for the backside
- That pitcher’s really trying to come inside


Tuck it and run…
“He got him with the high hard one”
“He’s a good distance from the hole. He better use his wood for this one”
He’s gotta hit the tight end
to quote my late friend George Carlin – “the batter’s got two balls on him”
