I always get amused and a bit peeved when someone will argue that gay guys are obsessed with sex. My retort is that guys are obsessed with sex, whether gay, straight, bi or questioning. Exhibit #5 trillion is the Twitter explosion over Katherine Webb, the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron. Webb is Miss Alabama, […]

Todd Searcy played for Illinois in the Eighties.

Does Stepfan Taylor look down to you? For all of the headlines about an undefeated Notre Dame team headed to the BCS title game, my mind lingers on a game in October they didn't win.

One reason to watch — Bama kicker Cade Foster The college football season reaches its anti-climatic climax Monday night when LSU plays Alabama in the BCS title game. I won't call it the "national championship game" because that would give it more weight than it deserves. It's basically the SEC championship game a month later. […]

I admit to not watching the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl between Marshall and Florida International. But a reader alerted me that I missed seeing FIU sophomore safety Justin Halley, who stands 6-2 and weighs 187. It turns out that Halley, in addition to playing football, is also a male model.
