Month: October 2010

Jim and I are back from Gay Bowl X, and we brought another championship with us. Our Los Angeles Motion team beat the New York Warriors, 19-18, in the final of the tournament. It was an amazing game with some great plays on both sides of the ball. You can read my notes on the […]

Los Angeles wins a record fourth Gay Bowl championship; Salt Lake wins Consolation title By Cyd Zeigler Thank you, Phoenix! First and foremost with these events always comes a special thank you to all of the organizers, volunteers and sponsors who made the tournament possible. Shawn Rea and Jared Garduno put together a fantastic team […]

Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner has always been very public about his religion, citing God in virtually every interview. It’s also a popular topic on his Twitter feed. His overt religiosity was always annoying to me, but we never had a clear view of how he stood on gay issues. We got a bit of […]

Mike Chabala of the the MLS’s Houston Dynamo is the latest athlete to be photographed as part of the NoH8 campaign, a response to the passage of Prop. 8 in California in 2008.

There's an excellent article on ESPN.com by LZ Granderson. All-Star point guard Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns speaks out, not just about bullying in general but specifically about kids who are being harassed because they're gay. On his official Twitter feed, Nash re-tweeted a link to a New York Times article on the recent […]

Jim and Cyd are in Phoenix so I’ll keep you up to date on the gay newz and notez for the weekend. (Or until they revoke my access! WHEE!) For the 2 of you left that hadn’t seen or heard about it, Brett Favre has allegedly sent pictures of his penis to Jenn Sturger. And […]

Until Wednesday, there had been only one no-hitter in the postseason history of Major League Baseball — Don Larsen’s perfect game for the New York Yankees in 1956. Make that two. Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies was masterful in pitching a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds in Game 1 of their National League playoff […]

File this under “shocker:” The New England Patriots have traded wide receiver Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings for a third-round pick in the 2011 draft. Great, Randy Moss now with Brett Favre. The two NFL players I dislike the most in the same huddle. Pass the popcorn and let the show begin. Moss has […]

Golfer Camilo Villegas, soccer’s Tim Howard, skater Evan Lysacek, the NBA’s Amar’e Stoudemire, the NFL’s Patrick Willis and baseball’s Hanley Ramirez are among 40 male and female athletes who posed naked (tastefully, of course) for the ESPN the Magazine body issue that hits news stands on Friday. Villegas is shot in a Spiderman pose, Lysacek […]

The blog may be a little light on updating the rest of the week as Jim and I prepare for Gay Bowl X in Phoenix, Ariz. We’re both part of the Los Angeles Motion team that won the tournament last year in D.C. We’re also both on the national board of the NGFFL, and Jim […]

The absurdly hyped Vick-McNabb death match is a bust. The real action came elsewhere, with the Jags stunning the Colts. Bonehead coaching and plays took center stage in what is officially a bizarre year. The hot player of the week is rookie returner. By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.com How I saw Week 4 of the NFL: Much […]

This is a tough weekend to be a baseball fan and a loving boyfriend. Personally, I have a few conflicts… First conflict: My sister is coming to town for the weekend and she is excited about the big art extravaganza taking place just a stone’s throw from Turner Field where the Atlanta Braves will be […]
