Player shocked by penis probe

MADRID (Reuters) - Sevilla's Francisco Gallardo says is totally surprised that the Spanish Football Federation has opened an investigation into his bizarre goal celebration during his team's 4-0 win over Valladolid at the weekend.

Gallardo was caught on camera bending down and biting team mate Jose Antonio Reyes' genitals in celebration of the striker's fine individual goal early in the second half of the match.

"I don't think what I did was very noteworthy," Gallardo was quoted as saying by the Spanish press on Wednesday.

"I am sure I didn't offend anyone, and anyway people at the ground were not even aware of the gesture. It was only when it was given coverage on the television and in the press that people realise what had happened.

"Anyway I had completely forgotten about the celebration by the time the game had ended and it would be a shame if I was punished for such a minor matter."

The player could face a fine or suspension for his actions, which may deemed to be an infringement of what is described in the federation's rulebook as "sporting dignity and decorum".

Is he related to Monica?

A more accurate question :
Is he related to Lorena Bobbit ?

This guy is clearly from Palm Beach, right? :-)

Yes, he voted for Algore. Fourteen times.

But the votes were recorded for Patrick J Buchanan.

Oh, those danged butterfly ballots!

From King of the Hill:

Soccer was invented so the women folk would have something to do while the men were out fighting wars.

Player celebrates goal by nibbling scorer's penis

Midfielder Francisco Gallardo has been charged by the Spanish soccer federation for an unusual goal celebration. Gallardo bit Sevilla team-mate Jose Antonio Reyes' penis after he had scored in the 4-0 win over Valladolid.

Reyes was besieged by team-mates after scoring and Gallardo was seen to bend down and nibble at the goalscorer's genitalia.

He could face a fine or suspension for his actions, which may deemed to be an infringement of what is described in the federation's rule book as "sporting dignity and decorum".

"I felt a bit of a pinch but I didn't realise what Gallardo had done until I saw the video.

''The worst thing about it is the teasing I'm going to get from my teammates," Reyes said.

There was much ado made by the liberal press and others when it was reported that Elian Gonzalez grandmother, upon Elian's arrival at the family home in Florida, wanted to "see how he had grown" (my quotes), pulled down his pants and...er....checked him out. Does anyone remember this?

I think this is just a cultural thing, although I think I will stick to basketball.

Those American "Sports Enthusiasts" who find this bizarre need to take a step back and objectively ponder their own sports related behavior for a moment.

As an American who is not a "sports enthusiast" this justs looks like run of the mill jock behavior. Did I miss something?

Bwahahahahah. I can just picture this. He'll probably see a blown up "manhood" in his locker for next practice.

I think genital biting is permitted in the classic rules of the game of cricket.
