Oh, to be Tom Brady. The NFL’s 31-year-old MVP of last season and three-time Super Bowl winner has a super model for a girlfriend, more money than he’ll ever need and he’s a stud (though he did lose his off-season parking space at Gillette Stadium). He’s also got a 3,000-square-foot condo in New York’s Time […]

If you're a Dallas Cowboys fan planning to travel to see the Cowboys play the Arizona Cardinals this fall, the Cardinals have a message for you: stay away. Well, it's actually sort of a mixed message. Cowboys fans can buy tickets, but there's a catch. The Cardinals would like to keep fans of the team […]

Bill Parcells has danced his last jig with Jason Taylor. The six-time Pro Bowler, the NFL’s reigning Man of the Year and 2006 defensive player of the year is heading to the Washington Redskins after the Miami Dolphins finally gave him what he wants – a trade. The downhill dance between Parcells and Taylor started […]

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 […]

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 […]

The NFL Draft is this weekend and I need an ice-cold shower after reading the profiles of the draftees on NFL.com. The analysis of their bodies had me thinking I had stumbled instead onto Craigslist M4M postings. A Craigslist post would have someone describing their “sexy and defined body with a tight bubble.” Leave out […]

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

Tomorrow the NFL will announce its full 2008 schedule, with a two-hour program on NFL Network beginning at 2 pm ET. In Philadelphia, immediately after the schedule comes out the sports-talk hosts, newspaper writers, TV talking heads and fans will dissect the Eagles' schedule and decide how many games they'll win (pending the NFL draft, […]

Gotta love Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ message to fans over the weekend: “I’m not Brett Favre.” I haven’t exactly hidden my distaste for Favre on this Web site. I’ve never forgiven him for beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl some years ago. I had been hoping the Patriots would have been able to […]

The question has become an annual ritual: how long will Brett Favre keep playing? He's been nothing less than a diva about making the decision each year — I remember the year when, after weeks of speculation, the Packers quarterback held a press conference to say that he still hadn't made up his mind. However, […]

We often getting letters of praise or criticism for what we write. I am posting this one because it is the most vitriolic I have ever received since Outsports began. It concerned my Super Bowl recap, which also ran on Gay.com. You can read it here, but in short I basically wrote about how happy […]

I've been conflicted ever since Lawrence Tynes kicked the New York Giants into the Super Bowl (after nearly kicking them out of it) against the undefeated New England Patriots. As much as I'd like to respect the Patriots' quest for perfection, I despise how they've gone about their business — the arrogance, the cheating, the […]

Michael Irvin, despite no longer being a part of ESPN's NFL Countdown, is still sought out for his opinions on the NFL. This week, in Phoenix for the Super Bowl, he was twice asked about Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb's recent statements on a blog that the Eagles need to get more playmakers. As usual when […]

There is a nice article in the New York Times about the bond Giants quarterback Eli Manning has with him mom, Olivia. While dad Archie was off watching his older sons Cooper and Peyton play sports, young Eli developed a taste for … antiques! Manning was dragged to so many of his brothers’ athletic events […]

If New England loses the Super Bowl, this is destined to become a collector’s item. If New England loses the Super Bowl, this is destined to become a collector’s item.

Two weeks to go and we already have our first Super Bowl subplot — Tom Brady’s right foot. A photo here and video here taken the day after the AFC Championship Game clearly show the New England Patriots quarterback with his right foot in a protective boot; in the video he appears to be limping. […]

There’s been lots of talk this week about the cold weather at the AFC and NFC Championship games today. The latest weather forecast for the kickoffs at the two games: Foxboro: 22 degrees, feels like 10, partly cloudy Green Bay: 2 degrees, feels like -13, clear I played in conditions like this one time about […]
