Portrait of a Man About To Tell Matt Hasselbeck He Has Big Balls

Wear a suit to work, then put on khakis and a hoodie. Peter Pan's got nothin' on Peter Carroll.
"Is Singletary actually wearing a wooden cross? Damn. That's ballsy."
A coach dancing on the field is unsportsmanlike conduct and opens him up to ridicule in a segment of "C'mon man!"
Hasselbeck exults as a stoic parabolic microphone operator tries to pick up any balls-related conversation.
"Dude! BALLS!! These are my big balls! But in this context they represent your big balls!"
"Yeah baby! Big Balls Matt! That's you! Your number is two big balls lying on their side!"
"You got no balls, Alex Smith! You got no BALLS!!"
A truly big ball.

I also thought Pete was referring to his nuts.
Despite the announcers’ insistence it was something about “still having the legs”.
Well to be fair
The announcer can’t openly say on tv that Pete Carroll is talking about Matt’s sack.

"And to forge, in the smithy of my soul...
big brass fuckin’ balls."
Well done, lemon.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
It's pretty good.
Not the Greatest SB Nation Photo Meme Of All Time, but pretty good starting material.
It is now my goal in life
to surpass 118 recs in one photo.

I saw the picture of Carroll dancing in the background earlier.
Guy makes me laugh. Love the enthusiasm.

It's Great to be a Florida Gator!
Most energetic I've seen Matt in forever.
The dude looks like he could get back up and play middle linebacker.

Rec'd because I laughed my balls off.
Classic post.

That;'s exactly what he said.

Are you hard of hearing?
Just curious. If not, have you practiced? Seems like not the kind of thing one just picks up.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Yes, I am.
Learned to lip-read starting when I was really young. Had to, really, because my level of hearing loss is profound.

A useful skill.
Now that it’s been pointed out to me, I can see most of it, but I still can’t see him mouth the word “balls”.
A family member is also quite hard of hearing and has been since youth, but compensated instead by just ignoring everything not written down.

I guess I could be wrong. Maybe it isn't "balls"
Could be “wheels”.
lol Maybe I should have learned to do the same. Would have saved me a lot of grief lol

I believe he's saying`
“Woo! Your legs can fucking run!”
As hilarious as it is, he’s probably not talking about balls.
That's not how any normal person points to their legs
I say 100% balls.

You don't want to hit yourself in the balls while pointing at them do you?
by Scruffy Lefty on Sep 15, 2010 9:42 AM PDT up reply actions
No, I don't.
But I don’t want to hit my legs either, because that would be confusing. Better that my hands are in front of me, to avoid confusion.
To me it looks like,
“Wheels! You got some fuckin’ wheels!”
"wheels, Boy!"
Maybe? That last word likes like “boy”.

The touchdown logo in the corner is a nice touch.

You’ve got to get me a shot of Carroll after the Trufant pick-six. He looks like he’s Ric Flair in those shots, stylin’ and profilin’, and even throwing out some "WOO"s.

Layman's interpretation
I think he’s saying “Woo! What’s (or watch) that you Forty Niner(s) [uninteligible].”
Solid stuff. He’s clearly pointing at his nether regions.
I'm tearing up.
Trying really hard not roll out the "rofl"s.

He isn't he just pulled the screen caps from NFL.com highlights.
Which I’ve now figured out how to easily make gifs of any play!

I keep thinking people are making 30 Rock jokes, but your name is actually Lemon.
Great shots and awesome FanPost.
Holy crap, this regime is completely different.
I can’t imagine – not in a million years – Holmgren jumping around pointing at his genitals after a touchdown.
This is going to be fun. We are among The League of Extraordinary Genitals.

Never in my life have I wanted to reach through my TV so desperately so i could punch someone in the face like I wanted to do to Pete Carroll. What was that all about? Why was he acting like he’s never seen a team score a TD before?
Niners Nation fans must be related to bRuins Nations fans
they hated Pete’s celebrations. Used to call him coach Pom Pom.
To improve, they should try to become the musical southern cal of the west. - bRuins Nation poster on the Stanford band.
I don't think UC Davis fans have that strong of an opinion on Pete

UC Davis has fans?

Hehe I guess they are a bit...bitter
I was thinking the whole first quarter:
“They sure don’t have much to show on the scoreboard for the total dominating beat down they have put on the Hawks. They better lookout — they could be losing in one big play…”
LOVE IT!
Damn, one can’t begrudge Pete for being Pete — that’s just who he is — he wasn’t disrespecting the opponent, just congratulating his guys who put together a hell of a gutsy performance in the face of massive uncertainty and doubters. It is a game and it was a damn exciting play! NN needs to chill.
Wow. Are they serious?
I thought San Franciscans were supposed to be flamboyant. When the Niners score a touchdown, does Singletary sit down and order a nice cup of tea?
Well, since the 'Hawks kept the San Francisco Silly Nannies
out of the end zone, and I won’t watch that atrocious team when they aren’t playing the Hawks, I really couldn’t say what Singletary does when they luck their way into a TD. Probably moons Vernon Davis.
Hate to say, I'm lovin it
Who else is like this guy? I have never seen a coach pull off this cheerleader shit. Carrol transcends the hater’s detractions with undeniable sincerity. Yeah, rock that shit.
I can see that
If it were a team playing the Hawks I would get a bit annoyed too. Fan-emotion, understandable.

Oh God this post had me busting up
You have some skills man and I hope you make this a weekly feature. The balls comments just piled on up.
Pete Carroll going buck wild.
That picture of him out on the field yelling, being held back, is awesome. Love the openness of emotions.
Think he’ll get hit with a penalty though if he is constantly out on the field yelling/running/cheering?
Keep it up Pete!
Yep!
And while it might piss me off. I think it’ll be extremely entertaining.

This one caused cramping of the serratus anterior.
