First of all, I think Bob Wickman is hot ... obviously in a BIG GUY sorta way.

Second of all, how did I not hear about this? I mean, it's incendiary stuff, and possibly all lies ... did anybody else know about this suit and its resolution? Please tell me. If this has already been discussed, my apologies.

Wow! Those charges against Wickman, if true, have got to be the strongest anti-gay allegations ever raised against a professional athlete -- and Jeff Nelson and Mariano Rivera don't exactly come across as being "gay friendly" either, to say the least, according to the claims leveled against them....geez, this would make Jeremy Shockey look like a choirboy (or a pride parade marching member of PFLAG) by comparison!

Does anyone know when this case is scheduled to go to court or when a verdict is expected to be rendered?....something tells me that if there is even a small iota of an indication that these heinous accusations are true that the team owners (collectively), MLB, Selig, et al will dig deep and reach an "undisclosed out of court settlement" with the plaintiff -- although I'm sure it would be for substantially less than the $50 MILLION sum that he is seeking ....I am surprised that this hasn't received more publicity though -- did this just develop or did "The Smoking Gun" just recently get wind of the story?

I've actually posted this on here before. The suit was filed quite a while ago - I want to say either 1999 or 2000. It made a splash when the suit was filed, but I've never seen another word about it in the press.
