Some rumours floating on other internet sites have Jason Kidd's wife outing the gay player on the Nets during upcoming divorce proceedings....
That would be a sad chapter to this ridiculous story....
It’s beginning to look like there was something to last month’s report about a gay Net. Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Nets team officials believe Jason Kidd’s estranged wife, Joumana, may divulge damaging info about Nets players as well as her husband, Jason. One player, who was the subject of thinly veiled rumors about his lifestyle, apparently believes that Joumana was the source of those rumors. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – In the locker room, the New Jersey Nets used to roar with laughter when one former Net would mumble his nickname for the wife of franchise star Jason Kidd. "Five-oh," the player called Joumana, a reference to her husband's jersey number and her perceived penchant for finding ways to clandestinely monitor Kidd and his teammates.
"He'd say, 'Five-oh was out in the club with us last night,' " another player said.
Across his six years with the Nets, Jason Kidd has been the face of the franchise, raising out of the rubble one of sports' historic losers. Beside him, Joumana Kidd, an ex-Budweiser model turned NBA TV gadfly, pushed for her own platform of power. She had front-row seats across from the visitor's bench at the Meadowlands, several rows in front of the rest of the players' families.
As much influence as Jason had with ownership and management, as much power he wielded with coaching and personnel matters, Joumana carried considerable clout. Now, Joumana has this franchise bracing for a firestorm of tabloid front pages and trash television coverage over what are expected to be blistering charges and allegations in her imminent divorce petition.
She's retained pit bull divorce lawyer Raoul Felder. All in all, the Nets are treating Joumana like a storm about to hit shore.
Around the organization, they believe Joumana plans to deliver damaging information on Jason and possibly his teammates. This could test the limits of locker room peace and the rush of a resurgent Nets season. This is going to get messier and nastier and ultimately test the staying power of this franchise.
As the Kidd marriage dissolved in recent months, there was one Net who told people that he believed Joumana was responsible for spreading falsehood stories about his lifestyle. The players told management and friends that they believed she blamed him partly for problems within her marriage. In the end, he didn't have proof – just sharp suspicions. Yes, it sounds like a soap opera. And that's what it's been with New Jersey.
For now, Joumana Kidd has been banned from Continental Arena and the Nets' practice facility, and husband and wife have taken out his and her restraining orders. If nothing else, it completely changes the dynamic surrounding the franchise.
When does Hurricane Joumana hit land and what will be the damage?

An editorial in the sport section of the local paper suggested (jokingly obviously?) that the answer to Philadelphia's back-up quarterback problem might be Allen Holier-than-thou-I'm-not-gay-I-just-like-to-f$%k-with-them Iverson who took his Virginia high school team to a division championship.
Hmm, so who takes the better mug shot?
Maybe the city should turn in its blue collars for pinstripes.

I think it's something commonly called a Napoleon Complex. He considers gay people to be littler and weaker than him whereas most of his colleagues in the sport are bigger and stronger than him.
So if he can't beat up on them, we're the next best thing...or his wife.
