Month: April 2008

A number of blogs wrote about a photo at the "BangBros" website — it's a hardcore porn site — showing someone who appears to be Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens in the background. No, he's not participating in any action. No one's even nude in the picture. He's just standing in the background with […]

After one round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, last year’s two finalists are already gone. There hasn’t been a repeat champion since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and 1998, and the 2006-07 champion Anaheim Ducks were sent packing by the Dallas Stars. The Ducks become the fifth consecutive Cup winner to either not make […]

Imagine this: this coming Monday night. National television. A football game featuring 7-0 Dallas at 8-0 Philadelphia. The Eastern Division lead at stake. Sounds just perfect, right? Unfortunately, it's not the Cowboys at the Eagles. Or even (alert: Simpsons reference) a WNFL game between the Cowgirls and the She-gles ("No love lost there!" said Bart). […]

In Game 1 of their NBA playoff series, the Atlanta Hawks were embarrassed in front of a national television audience. In their first playoff series in nine years, the team suffered a 104-81 blowout on the road in Boston. But I’m not talking about that embarrassment. Take a look at the new haircut Josh Smith […]

The NFL Draft is this weekend and I need an ice-cold shower after reading the profiles of the draftees on NFL.com. The analysis of their bodies had me thinking I had stumbled instead onto Craigslist M4M postings. A Craigslist post would have someone describing their “sexy and defined body with a tight bubble.” Leave out […]

Deadspin, an allegedly straight-run sports website, has a thing for linking to items about nude male jocks (we’re not complaining mind you, just sayin’). They unearthed what appears to be Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes, in the shower minus anything but a LIVE STRONG bracelet. Follow this link and it will take you to […]

One certainly can’t accuse the New England Patriots of lowering expectations as they head into the 2008 season. From The Smoking Gun: Three months after their bid for an undefeated season ended with a Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants, the New England Patriots are continuing to pursue trademarks on the phrases “19-0” […]

Former Juventus (that’s an Italian soccer club) managing director Luciano Moggi, who’s in a heap of trouble for alleged corruption, had some choice words for a television reporter Monday about the place of gays in soccer: “There are no gays in football, I don’t know if players are against having them in their team but […]

After three years of trying, and placing as high as 4th in the Indy 500, 26-year-old Danica Patrick finally won her first IndyCar race this weekend. It was the Japan 300 at Motegi on the international Indy series, making her the first female winner in IndyCar history. “Boys, move over. The lady is coming through,” […]

Deion Sanders' gay pal, Gary With Da Tea, is a big hit on Oxygen's 'Prime Time Love' show.

I apologize for not being on the ball lately, I am actually on vacation in Colorado for a couple of weeks and my hometown, Yuma, CO, population 2500, is severely lacking in Internet connections. I wanted to throw my 2 cents in on the 22 innings game that I watched in its entirety from 8 […]

For the third time (at least) in the last three years the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox managed to take over four hours to play a nine-inning baseball game. Wednesday night's marathon, won by the Yankees 15-9, took 4 hours, 8 minutes, but that was nothing compared to the surreal scene last night […]

The New York Times has a terrific article about Jackie Walker, a star linebacker for the University of Tennessee in the early 1970s who was known at the time to be gay. The story deals with his seemingly inexcusable absence from the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Walker was gay, which he made no […]

The New York Rangers and MSG are going to implement specific actions to stop the anti-gay chants that sometimes rain down from the stands of home games. I’ve got to hand it to both sides on this one. It seems like this has been handled in a professional, mutually respectful way that should make for […]

In 1993, when a young man named Miguel Tejada, from Bani in the Dominican Republic, signed a contract with Oakland, he told them his date of birth was May 25, 1976. He went on to become a four-time All-Star and won the AL MVP award in 2002. After the 2003 season he signed a six-year, […]

Some days at the ballpark, things go wrong. The pitchers are wild, the hitters are flailing, the weather is dreary. And then there was today at Citizens Bank Park: nary a cloud in the sky with temperatures in the mid-70s; a strong 7-inning performance from Brett Myers; homers from Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Pat […]

Any of you who read my column last season know how I feel about C.J.Wilson. He is easily the hottest man in baseball. I say this knowing full well that I will get a ton of comments from you guys telling me that I am wrong, but he does it for me. Wilson, the closing […]

We will have a new King of the Hardwood champ and it will either be New Zealand rugby player Dan Carter (left) or his English counterpart Ben Cohen. Voting has begun for the final so make your selection here. A huge tip of the hat to KOTH creator Layne (aka Mariner Duck Guy from our […]

London Mayor Ken Livingstone is under fire from some gay Brits for not opening the door for the Gay World Cup, being held in London this August, to get grant money from the national lottery (about 28% of the national lottery revenue goes to “good causes”). Various gay activists and other gay Londoners are pointing […]
