The Arizona Cardinals are playing the “no respect” card in the Super Bowl to the hilt, pointing out that President Barack Obama is rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dan Rooney, Steelers owner and lifelong Republican, was a key supporter of Obama in the election in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. In addition, Cardinals owner […]

Andy Roddick is getting his year off to a flying start in Oz. The former US Open champ, who made the final in Doha earlier this month, continued his solid run of form advancing to the Aussie Open semifinals when defending champ Novak Djokovic retired from their match while A-Rod was leading 6-7 (3), 6-4, […]

Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe has denied he is gay, but has said that he is in love with someone from another country. So, the revelation that Thorpe was seen frolicking on a Brazilian beach with Brazilian swimmer Daniel Mendes — someone he has lived with in Australia for three years — is just one example […]

By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.com You don't have to fear about attending a Super Bowl party with no idea about the game, such as who’s playing. As a public service, Outsports offers our annual […]

For those of you who are fans of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Pop Sugar has a series of photos with Brady and Gisele Bundchen on vacation in Mexico. The duo looked perfectly hot and, of course, amazing in their swimwear lounging in the sun and having a romantic moment during a dip in […]

Apparently, Fernando Verdasco wasn’t listening to the pundits about town. The Spaniard, who served bagels the other day, pulled off a huge upset at the Aussie Open today ousting top fave Andy Murray 2-6, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the fourth round. Nando was at his aggressive best balancing 50 errors with 51 winners, hitting, […]

Note – This post is merely an excuse to have a picture of Randy Orton on the main page. The 2009 Royal Rumble is in the books and the winner, punching a ticket to the Wrestlemania main event, is Grade-A stud Randy Orton. Storylines may intercede, but as it is right now, Randy will get […]

Johnny Weir, my favorite ice skater as much for his who-gives-a-damn personality as his skating talent, will not be going to the world figure skating championships after finishing fifth at this weekend’s nationals. Weir has been at worlds every year since 2003. Weir blamed the flu he been fighting for a month for his lackluster […]

Last week. Cyd let on that he actually watches "Last Call with Carson Daly." Or at least that he's aware of the show. Questionable viewing habits aside, he uncovered this nugget: A Matt Ryan-Carson Daly bromance. The host drooled all over Ryan, calling him a stud and commenting on how great his hair looks when […]

One more sign that the Dallas Cowboys are the most dysfunctional, screwed-up team in the NFL is this rap video from tight end Martellus Bennett. He drops f-bombs and other naughty words in verse that can only be described as deranged. And in rhyming something with quarterback Tony Romo, he came up with (you guessed […]

Now that fantasy football season is over, it's interesting to look back at the best and worst picks of the year. Clearly, Tom Brady in the first round didn't work out so well. LaDainian Tomlinson as the No. 1 pick? Not so much. Michael Turner in the fourth round and Kurt Warner in the seventh? […]

A sign of the apocalypse? More proof that "reality" television continues its relentless assault and won't stop until every single brain in America is completely turned to mush? Or just a sign that his on-field career is fading and that eventually there will be no more quarterbacks to throw under the bus? Those thoughts came […]

Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Joe Flacco was among 11,000 people who plunged into the icy Chesapeake Bay this weekend to raise $2 million for charity in the Polar Bear Plunge. Alas, he wussed out and did not do the plunge shirtless. He also did not disclose if there was “shrinkage,” ala George Constanza. "It's a […]

Marion Bartoli wasn’t overawed by playing against the world’s top lady baller in Melbourne and it showed. The Frenchie reached her first quarterfinal at the Aussie Open, outhitting an out-of-sorts Jelena Jankovic and stunning the top seed 6-1, 6-4 by swatting 34 winners against only 17 for her Serbian foe. She'll face Russian Vera Zvonareva […]

It is so important to us at Outsports to recognize the hard work that gay-sports organizers put forth every year. The results of those efforts affect hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, and we want to recognize that. To that end, we’re not just relaunching an Outsports award that has been dead for a couple […]

What if there’s an All-Star game and the jocks don’t show? That’s the quandary the NHL finds itself in as its All-Star match plays out in Montreal tonight. Burned last year when seven jocks didn’t show in Atlanta for the game in which they were selected to play, the league offered up a one-game suspension […]

In honor of the big game, we will be presenting past Super Bowl cartoons by Dylan Edwards, a cartoonist for Outsports who has now landed a book deal thanks to his work that appeared here. We are so happy for Dylan and invite you to check out his Outsports cartoon archive. In honor of the […]

The 21-year-old is 5-foot-7, 150 pounds and shares a birthday with none other than our very own Jim Buzinski: Sept. 17. […]

Bosnians and Serbs battled at the Australian Open in Melbourne following a match between Novak Djokovic, a Serb, and Amir Delic, a Bosnian-born American. Two people were arrested, 30 people were kicked out and one woman was injured. They must have thought they were at a soccer match. Bosnians and Serbs battled at the Australian […]
