As Goodell told reporters after meeting with Matt Walsh: “I don’t know where else I would turn.” Of course, the memory of this whole episode will live with Patriots fans and Patriots haters for years to come. But it’s clear we’ve seen the last of this. Sorry Rams fans: You lost the Super Bowl fair […]

If Jason Taylor can dance, can Terrell Owens act? We’ll find out Wednesday when he makes his thespian debut on MyNetworkTV’s “Under One Roof” with one of the few people who act crazier than T.O.: Flavor Flav. Could the pom-pom-waving one be headed to a career in Hollywood when he’s done in Dallas? “If I’m […]

Could a drag queen possibly have a future as a New York Jet cheerleader? In an interview with WNYC, Denise Garvey, director of the New York Jets flight crew (i.e., their cheer squad) left the door open to some guys in skirts shaking more than their pom-poms: GARVEY: We don’t have any strict requirements. No […]

Logo's NewNowNext has created a series of awards recognizing the best of the best in today and tomorrow's gay culture. They're recognizing blogs, music artists, actors, TV shows and much more. They approached us several weeks ago asking us whom we'd like to honor in the sports world; the choice was easy for us. Athletes […]

It seems former Patriots videographer Matt Walsh, who’s said he has a smoking gun that will indict the Patriots, doesn’t have much more than a tired, used water pistol. According to the NYT, he handed over eight tapes to the NFL that show the Patriots videotaping offensive and defensive signals: Charges the League has already […]

Ever think you can’t play basketball because you’re too short? Or avoid a pick-up game of football because you’re not strong enough? Then you need to read the story of softball catcher Gina Gilday, who plays for Elms College in Chicopee, Mass. She’s playing a collegiate sport, and she has no legs. Having watched her […]

I can’t stand Jim Rome. The screaming has always grated on me, his homophobia comes and goes, and he’s more style than substance. So it was with great joy that I heard from Ted Rybka at GLAAD that they had taken Rome to task over his coverage of the Ronaldo hooker story, in which Rome […]

This is probably the last time you’ll see the name David Vobora, but he was the 2008 NFL Draft’s “Mr. Irrelevant,” the nickname given to the last person taken in the draft. The linebacker from the University of Idaho was the 252nd player selected, taken by the St. Louis Rams. The Dallas Morning News had […]

You can already buy your own Matt Ryan jersey. It didn’t take long for the Atlanta Falcons to replace the Michael Vick era and start the Matt Ryan era. The former Boston College QB became the new face of the troubled franchise when the Falcons scooped up the 22-year-old, 6-foot-5-inch, 228-pound stud with their first […]

I got to watch three NBA Playoff games tonight, and I have to agree with something Jim said a few days back: The NBA Playoffs, for some reason, are so good. Watching the Sixers dismantle the Pistons was fun, but not nearly as fun as meeting up with Joe in Philly and Canmark right afterward […]

We’ve written about former NFL linebacker Ken Hutcherson and his homophobic rants plenty of times before. He was at it again this past weekend, leading a rather large demonstration against a Washington state high school in protest of the National Day of Silence. Said Hutcherson about the protest: It is time for us as moral […]

New York Ranger Sean Avery may still be playing for the Stanley Cup, but he’s apparently already made plans for some work when it’s over. According to Women’s Wear Daily, Avery will be an intern at Vogue magazine this summer after a letter of his to Vogue editor Anna Wintour (peas in a pod, anyone?) […]

Former Juventus (that’s an Italian soccer club) managing director Luciano Moggi, who’s in a heap of trouble for alleged corruption, had some choice words for a television reporter Monday about the place of gays in soccer: “There are no gays in football, I don’t know if players are against having them in their team but […]

Deion Sanders' gay pal, Gary With Da Tea, is a big hit on Oxygen's 'Prime Time Love' show.

The New York Rangers and MSG are going to implement specific actions to stop the anti-gay chants that sometimes rain down from the stands of home games. I’ve got to hand it to both sides on this one. It seems like this has been handled in a professional, mutually respectful way that should make for […]

London Mayor Ken Livingstone is under fire from some gay Brits for not opening the door for the Gay World Cup, being held in London this August, to get grant money from the national lottery (about 28% of the national lottery revenue goes to “good causes”). Various gay activists and other gay Londoners are pointing […]

New York’s most favoritest gay sports bar, Gym Sportsbar, opened in April 2005; and on their third anniversary this weekend they are (finally) able to unveil their much-anticipated downstairs space, lovingly labeled “the locker room.” The VIP party is Friday and it’s open to the public as of Saturday. Gym has been the most popular […]

It’s tough being an NFL coach stuck in a little corner of Florida called Jacksonville, but Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio is popular at Outsports for his good looks and affinity for wearing a suit on the sideline. Watching the final of the WTA Amelia Island tournament (won by Maria Sharapova in her first clay-court […]
