Month: December 2009

Here's a clever idea: teams from two different sports in the same city doing funny commercials together. Done right, they'd be good publicity for both teams. An executive with the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks came up with the idea to pair up with the NFL's Chicago Bears during a meeting of NHL honchos in which it […]

The Colts breeze, so it’s the Saints’ turn to pull out a mini-miracle. The Steelers stumble, the Patriots’ road woes continue and the Cowboys lose again in December. Our hot player of the week has 17 tats and think’s he’s Batman. By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.com How I saw Week 13 in the NFL: The Colts and […]

Texas kicker Hunter Lawrence has an original nickname (“kicker”), his sports hero is NFL kicker Jason Elam, his favorite movie is “Gladiator” and his favorite band is Cross Canadian Ragweed. The 6-foot, 187-pound senior is now a hero to Longhorn fans everywhere after his 46-yard field goal at the gun beat Nebraska, 13-12, to send […]

Texas kicker Hunter Lawrence If ever a heavy favorite deserved to lose a game, it was Texas against Nebraska. But thanks to a lousy kickoff by Nebraska, a dumb roughness penalty and instant replay, the Longhorns beat the Cornhuskers, 13-12, to win the Big 12 championship and a spot in the BCS title game against […]

This is a bizarrely hilarious video taken from a Taiwanese tabloid news story that uses CGI to reenact the Tiger Woods car crash, complete with Mrs. Tiger whacking hubby in the face and chasing him with a golf club. Comedy gold. Video: This is a bizarrely hilarious video taken from a Taiwanese tabloid news story […]

The United States got what looks to me like a favorable draw, landing in the same group as England, Algeria and Slovenia. ESPN’s front page immediately claimed the U.S. got a tough draw, but I don’t see how. England is the worst-ranked FIFA team of all the seeded teams (No. 9), and Algeria (28) and […]

Just when you think you’ve seen everything in football, a video like this comes out that makes you truly at a loss for an answer. I just hope Zebrie Sanders does the same thing when Florida State is playing Stanford in the Emerald Bowl in a couple weeks. Video after the jump. Just when you […]

The transgressions of Tiger Woods have claimed another victim. John Ziegler (I spell it “ei”) has decided he must close the church he started in 1996: The First Church of Tiger Woods. The church’s site includes 27 pieces of evidence of Tiger’s divinity. What is the purpose of the church, you may ask? This website […]

Stanford Coach Jim Harbaugh denies he used the word “faggot” while yelling at officials during Saturday’s Notre Dame-Stanford game. Harbaugh told Ted Rybka of GLAAD: It did not come out of my mouth. It would not come out of my mouth. It’s not in my heart to ever say that. Stanford Coach Jim Harbaugh denies […]

St. Joseph’s women’s basketball player Lauren Robinson has come out publicly in a wonderful article in The Hawk, the student newspaper at St. Joe’s. Robinson talks candidly about being gay and Catholic at a Catholic university. It's hard to go to Mass and sit there sometimes and listen to people talk about the founding principles […]

Got an email this morning claiming that Stanford head football coach Jim Harbaugh yelled “faggot” at an official during the Stanford-Notre Dame game on Saturday (which Stanford won). While you can’t hear the audio, it certainly looks like that’s what he’s yelling. Check out the video after the jump at about the 26-second mark. We're […]

Last month, we highlighted some terrific images by Brent from a UCLA-Loyola Marymount water polo match in Los Angeles. This past weekend, UCLA and LMU qualified for the upcoming NCAA championships that will feature Princeton, USC, UCLA and LMU. Here are some more pictures from Brent of the LMU-UCLA match: Last month, we highlighted some […]

Toby Gerhart is Stanford’s running back who carried a mediocre team to an 8-4 record and a bowl berth. He led the nation in touchdowns (26). He was second in rushing yards per game (144.7). He averages 200.3 yards against ranked opponents. Now, despite being the best player in the nation this year, he has […]

I talked to my sister today about Tiger Woods. If you have read Outsports for the full 10 years we’ve been around, you may remember that she’s dabbled with pro athletes more than once. She told me all the talk about Woods is ridiculous. “Of course he cheats. Ninety-five percent of pro athletes cheat.” It’s […]

Outsports is the latest target in Grady Sizemore’s witch hunt over his leaked and very sexy photos. We received a letter this afternoon from Sizemore’s representative, Terence B. Prince at CAA, demanding that we remove the photos from Outsports. You can read the PDF of the letter we received here. Despite how the photos were […]

Update: Outsports has received a cease & desist letter regarding the photos. If you're reading this and have any photos of me that make me look remotely like Grady Sizemore, consider this a personal invitation to share them with everyone in the world. The photos flying around the internet of the Cleveland Indians star are […]

With all the talk in Canada about Brendan Burke’s coming out, some old video has been dug up marrying hockey and the gays (well, not literally). This one, with hockey player, coach and broadcaster Don Cherry, caught my eye. Cherry’s always been “out there,” so it’s no big surprise he’d play along with out comedian […]

First the Canadians had trouble recruiting boys for figure skating. Now Americans are having trouble recruiting boys for ballet. Or so says a recent article in the San Diego Union-Tribune. Wonder why? You guessed it: The gays. Because ballet is considered feminine, the boys who gravitate toward it are assumed gay by many people. It’s […]

Drew Brees How badly did the New Orleans Saints manhandle the New England Patriots on Monday night? So badly that Patriots Coach Bill Belichick threw in the towel with 5:22 to play down 38-17. He benched quarterback Tom Brady and the offensive stars even though the game was theoretically winnable (we've seen stranger things on […]

Gay-friendly rugby star, back playing in England, offers signed copy of 2010 calendar for Outsports reader. By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.comEnglish rugby player Ben Cohen is one of our favorite athletes. He is among the few who embraces his gay fans and does not run from the fact that many consider him hot. And after demand by […]
