I almost feel sorry for Josh McDaniels. It seems like there’s been a problem coming out of the Denver Broncos team every week since the guy took over. The latest isn’t the home preseason loss to the quarterback he ran out of town, it’s not his comments about Brandon Marshall this weekend: The guy showed […]

Thanks to an anonymous reader for this little tidbit from D.C. Of course, the headline refers to All-Star guard Alana Beard. Heh. Beard. heh. Thanks to an anonymous reader for this little tidbit from D.C. Of course, the headline refers to All-Star guard Alana Beard. Heh. Beard. heh.

Tennis commentator Bud Collins was on ESPN this morning thrashing the U.S. Open women’s draw. His beef: The Williams sisters should be the top two seeds in the tournament. As it stands, Serena is seeded No. 2 and Venus is seeded No. 3. Collins argues that the two best players in the world are clearly […]

Take a good look at the image to the right. We’ve seen something like it a thousand times, right? The man in the photo is Thai Olympic silver-medal boxer Worapoj Petchkoom, and Stage is a Thai gay magazine. Because Petchkhoom appears on the cover of said magazine wearing almost nothing, the Amateur Boxing Association of […]

A professor and an economist have ranked the handsomeness of NFL quarterbacks using their facial symmetry to determine how attractive someone is perceived. The winner? Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons. Writes Reed Alborgotti in the Wall Street Journal online: According to researchers, [Ryan’s] face is almost perfectly symmetrical-a trait that shows a strong correlation […]

“Why should I decide what to watch, when Tyranno-vision does it for me!” So let me set the stage. Jerry Jones spends $1 billion dollars of his own money to build one of the most beautiful stadiums in America. They've solved a bunch a problems with the old stadium, including how to close the roof […]

Deadspin has been running various college football team photos leading up to the 2009 season. They posted two from the Division II Colorado School of Mines Orediggers. In one of them it’s hard to tell if two of the players were posing for a team photo or for a casting call of “High School Musical: […]

Stanford University’s athletic department is facing a revenue shortfall, has had to eliminate 20 positions and may have to cut fencing. What a perfect time for a rich alum to spend $50,000 to $70,000 to build head football coach Jim Harbaugh a private bathroom. Jim Harbaugh, former NFL quarterback, did not want to walk 20 […]

A couple years ago we uncovered a delicate issue with the NFL’s Shop that wouldn’t allow people to put the word “Gay” on a customizable NFL jersey, despite the fact that one of the League’s player was named Randall Gay (they have since corrected the problem, though they still do not allow “Lesbian” or “Queer”). […]

Semenya has returned home to Johannesburg amid a hero's welcome…and a growing international incident around her gender and the investigation thereof. The IAAF are culpable for the leaks that keep happening, since — according to their own rules — the investigation should have been kept confidential. The South African government is making loud noises of […]

Heisman winner Tim Tebow of top-ranked Florida. The 2009 college football season starts a week from Saturday and every one has an opinion on who will play in the BCS title game in the Rose Bowl in January. Florida is an overwhelming favorite to win its second straight BCS title, but teams such as Texas, […]

Italian national soccer coach Marcello Lippi, who in January said there were no gay players in the Italian league, now says he would never pick two players for the national team if they were a gay couple. Reports AFP: “In the current climate, two national team players could never be involved in an open relationship,” […]

Last Saturday, the Stonewall Community Foundation in New York hosted an open-water swim to Fire Island that raised a whopping $100,000 for the organization! Next up for the Stonewall group is a second annual golf tournament. It’s great to see these organizations turning to sports to raise money and raising the awareness of athletics in […]

Remember how you felt when Prop 8 passed? Whether you were in California or New York or North Dakota or anywhere else, chances are you were not happy about it. The fight this year is in Maine, and the people who want to fight same-sex marriage are themselves calling it the most important cultural battle […]

For those of you who thought Terrell Owens’ TV show was unwatchable, don’t waste a moment on ABC’s Shaq Vs (which, some claim, he stole from Steve Nash…Nash is listed as an exec producer on the show). The biggest problem with the show? Shaq himself. His monotone speech is enough to put you to sleep, […]

Stephanie Wei writes the “Wei Under Par” blog and she captured this shot of golfer Sergio Garcia at the Barclay’s event. Stephanie’s caption: He's currently exploring patent opportunities to develop the PGA's first "dick mount."

Thanks again to our friends at VGLMen, the latest issue of the UK’s Attitude magazine is out, and Aussie rugger Nick Youngquest is nearly naked on the cover, wearing a VERY small bikini swimsuit! Interesting that Youngquest would pose for cover of The Sex Issue for a gay-men’s magazine. Interesting and cool, especially since VGL […]

The 2010 edition of Dieux du Stade is on its way, and we have the calendar coverboy to look at while we wait. British rugger James Haskell is the latest stadium god to get naked for the annual homoerotic fleshfest, and you can already pre-order the calendar to see more of him. The calendar’s release […]

As you sit in your cubicle today toiling for the man, consider this: Every time A-Rod (photo) sees six pitches, he makes $100,000. For the average American, it takes four years. Tiger Woods? He does it in 11 holes. And LeBron? 21 minutes. It’s four snaps for Ben Roethlisberger. As you sit in your cubicle […]

Some people just shouldn't be allowed near a telestrator, but we're so happy they are. Randy Cross, who was in Foxboro for the Bengals-Patriots preseason game, outlined a group of lights from the mall that surrounds half of Gillette Stadium where the old Foxboro Stadium once stood. Screen capture after the jump. Some people just […]
