Because we’re like teenagers it amuses us when we hear sports terms that sound sexual. We’ve indulged in this juvenile amusement on Pulp Intl. once or twice. Or maybe even three times. The best unintentionally sexual NFL commentary we heard this football season was: “Look, here’s my thing—” Which was followed by silence. And we thought, well these broadcasters are certainly making the most of their time stuck together in that tiny booth.
Anyway, 1930s movie star Lona Andre, née Luana Anderson, shows some ball control skills in this promo photo we thought was fitting for today, which is of course Super Bowl Sunday. Andre made a number of notable films, including 1934’s School for Girls and 1937’s Slaves in Bondage. This photo was made for her film College Humor, which is fitting, because that’s about the level of our sports quips. It dates from 1933.
