Gay Ex-NFL Player Releases New Book Options

[DownLowNY]

Roy Simmons, the 2nd former NFL player to come out as gay, has just released his autobiography, Out of Bounds. The book went on sale last week and is available on Amazon.

The January 2006 issue of Out magazine excerpts a few salacious passages from the autobiography, including Simmons' tale of working the bathhouses in cities like Atlanta, San Fran, and Dallas, and getting high with a teammate at a NYC nightclub and performing oral sex on him after driving back to his house in NJ.

Roy Simmons also discusses other players who set off his gaydar, including two players whom he thought were an item. "They were too buddy-buddy to be a heterosexual friendship. They waited for each other to come out of the shower in the locker room, waited for each other to come out of practice ... they were inseparable."

It will be interesting to see how the corporate media react to this book. Will it be hyped or hushed (like the Danton affair)?...

Seems like a man who's still finding his path throught the wilderness.

My sense also. I suspect he has tried just about every path to stay sober and healthy. I don't hold his 700 Club comments against him.
