Month: January 2009

Deadspin hit the nail on the head with this one: A headline writers’ dream. Mississippi head men’s basketball coach Andy Kennedy was arrested last month in Cincinnati for allegedly punching a cab driver and yelling racial slurs at him. Kennedy immediately sued the cab driver for defamation. Now his wife, Kimber, is also suing the […]

Every story deserves a good villain. Alien had an 8-foot tall monster with acid for blood… The Dark Knight had a psychotic guy with a Glasgow Smile and who dressed like a clown… Titanic had Kate Winslet who wouldn’t move on that fucking door to let Leo DiCaprio on so he wouldn’t freeze to death. […]

Our good friend LZ Granderson of ESPN wrote a column praising now-retired Tony Dungy for his work with black men. To me, LZ glossed over Dungy’s anti-gay record too much in his column; And I took Dungy to task for his actions in a column of mine. No matter where you fall on the topic, […]

One of the few gay sports bloggers tackled USC football and politics with insight By Cyd Zeigler jr. For the last five years, Boi From Troy has been one of the few places on the Net where an openly gay man talked openly about sports. A huge USC fan, Scott Schmidt dedicated countless hours to […]

A few weeks ago, we nominated Soccer Homophobes as one of our six Outsports Jerks of the Year. This week came down news that 11 of those homophobes will be paying a price as they have been charged with indecent chanting at a soccer game between Portsmouth and Tottenham on Sept. 28, 2008. They were […]

Despite living in New York for the last five years, I’ll admit I was clueless that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson had a lesbian daughter (who, it is reported, refuses to speak to him). Cool, right? Well, just like the gays would rather not “claim” some people as our “own” because of their bad […]

I'm all for playing hard for every minute and respecting your opponents by not treating them like children. But, when they ARE children and you're leading a basketball game 48-0 at halftime, don't you let up a little? I guess the coach of the Greeley, Colo., girls basketball team did let up a little; His […]

By Rich RodriguezFor Outsports.comThe tennis season has barely begun and we’re already arrived at the first major of 2009: the Australian Open!

The now-retired Indianapolis Colts head coach deserves praise for good deeds and a scarred reputation for hurting gay people By Cyd Zeigler jr. I met the retirement of Colts coach Tony Dungy this week with much glee. The anti-gay coach who has used Christianity to explain his personal beliefs and who has helped at least […]

Cristiano Ronaldo won FIFA’s World Player of the Year Award for 2008. He accepted the award looking smoking hot in a gorgeous suit. I was surprised to learn he’s the first Premier League player ever to win the award; Being only the second Portuguese player was not such a surprise since the award’s only been […]

Here we go again. Some art design student made a mock Nike ad that ran in CMYK magazine. The ad’s tag line read: “The only thing worse than going to the ballet is going to the ballet to watch your son.” Some gays apparently got GLAAD involved because the ad is supposedly anti-gay; Ted Rybka, […]

Finally in Los Angeles after my five-year hiatus, I was excited by an offer from Dax, our hockey blogger, to join him for a Los Angeles Kings game last night. They played the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Kings were terrible. But even more memorable than missed shots and badly choreographed fights was what happened each […]

Indianapolis Colts Coach Tony Dungy, 53, has announced his retirement from pro football. Dungy led the Colts to a Super Bowl win in 2006 and his teams have had a record six consecutive seasons with 12 or more wins. Being the first black coach to win a Super Bowl and having only one losing season […]

The French can do a few things well. Smoldering beefcake calendars appear to be one of those things. The French gay glossy Blake has debuted its "Basket League" calendar for 2009, a sporty-themed affair that strategically places a basketball in each photo with an otherwise nude model. Oh, yeah. Each model is wearing a pair […]

When I heard that Cleveland was bidding to host the 2014 Gay Games, I certainly scratched my head. With Boston, D.C. and Miami also bidding, I figured Cleveland, not exactly known for being a gay mecca, would be an odd choice for the Gay Games. But after reading a thorough, well-written three-piece article by Brian […]

The New York Post is reporting that New York Knicks center Eddy Curry is being sued by his former chauffer David Kuchinsky for allegedly making harassing statements while nude such as: “Look at me, Dave, look” and “Come and touch it, Dave.” Well, the accusations don’t stop there as Kuchinsky says among other things that […]
