"Children, gather around. You can learn a lot about life from sports."What I wouldn't give to hear sports quotes like this in America. From the November 9 issue of The Guardian's The Fiver:
Rochdale manager Keith Hill is growing frustrated with his side's recent flaccid performances. "You can compare us at the moment to a bit of soft p0rn - there is an awful lot of foreplay but not a great deal going on in the box," he parped ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup game against Southend.

Is it just me or does Keith Hill look like Marshall's long lost brother? The attention to the nicities of porn is also eerily similar.
Maybe he can pipe in with a thread of great porn/sports analogies.
I will note the fact that Hill has more hair than any of my brothers (and less than me for the time being). I too applaud the soft porn line (though myself might have said- "You can compare us at the moment to a bit of soft p0rn - there is an awful lot of tease, but no real scoring.")
Ah, but the porn/sports analogies can go on forever-
"Like a soon-to-be-unemployed porn actor, we scored too early, and couldn't duplicate our success."
"A good running back is a lot like a female porn star- you want to use them a lot, but the wear and tear takes it toll."
"Substituting quarterbacks is the equivalent of bringing in a stunt c**k- you have to make the switch at just the right time."
But my favorites are the double entrendes never seem to stop:
"The coach gave him a much-desired blow." Possibly my all time favorite because it's used so much-I turn into freakin' Beavis and Butthead "heh heh, he said blow."
"We shot too early"
"You want to get the tight end into the right position."
And just for you Southlandish,
"We really took it on the chin today."
