There’s a service on The Huffington Post that allows you to see how much various people are giving to the presidential candidates, including athletes. Some of the results – giving to: Obama by far had raised the most money from athletes. While the list of donors who are actors is incredibly long, the above represents […]

Brady Quinn has not gotten a lot of face time this season, sitting on the bench as the Cleveland Browns backup quarterback. But four lucky people can win a meeting with the hottest man in the NFL in New York as part of a Gillette promotion with Facebook. Fans need to upload photos or videos […]

Jiri Tlusty plays for the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, but last year what he really needed was a fig leaf. As we reported a week ago, Tlusty was in the news when a Canadian gossip blogger, Zach Taylor, tried to imply the 19-year-old player might be gay because shots surfaced of him sticking his tongue […]

We noted last week that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was being considered as a model for Calvin Klein underwear. This inspired artist David Gilmore, who wrote us: "I read that Tom Brady is going to be the new …. ah…. face of Calvin Klein underwear. Christmas has come early! So I did a […]

It’s been years since NFL Monday Night Football was a social force, but for years it has been a reliable institution — the one big national game each week that everybody watched. The league, in setting up its schedule, reserved what it thought would be choice matchups for Monday night. This ended a year ago […]

For those of you who don’t know, Towleroad has in the last year or so started covering sports and sports figures (particularly as they pertain to fashion, pop culture and politics) a lot more. Andy’s latest today is a follow up on a previous story about some terra cotta statues designed to commemorate the ATP […]

We’ve been hearing from Jack Mackenroth for a couple years; he’s a swimmer for Team New York Aquatics and has set masters records and received All-American honors. It was great to meet him at the Out 100 party and to find out that he’s one of the contestants of the next season of Project Runway. […]

Last night I got to attend one of the best parties I’ve been to in New York City. The Out 100 party last night was held at high-end restaurant Cipriani on Wall Street. It’s in the old National City Bank building – a massive space with (I’d guess) 100-foot ceilings. I’ve never been great at […]

Tom Brady, underwear model? In news that will gladden the hearts of Brady fans everywhere, we get this from the Boston Globe: In Touch Weekly is reporting that the Pats quarterback is being wooed to become the next celebrity model for – wait for it – Calvin Klein underwear. The mag says the football star’s […]

We’re sorry that we didn’t notice this earlier. There was what seems to have been a great conference this past weekend on women’s sports. Click to the next page if you want to read their post-conference press release, and if you want more info, click here on their Web site. -Cyd Zeigler jr. The first […]

Appalachian State over Michigan was supposed to be a “fluke.” But with the college basketball world watching some school named Gardner-Webb win AT Kentucky, 84-68 (yes, by 16 points), the day after Div. II Findlay won at Ohio State, and just a few days after Div. II Grand Valley State won at No. 8 Michigan […]

The man who may be Philadelphia sports fans’ poster boy for unfulfilled expectations has announced his retirement from the NHL. Eric Lindros made it official today, at the age of 34. His size and skills – he could pile up points and physically dominate a game – got him dubbed “The Next One” but he […]

Damn, Joe beat me to the story about the NHL player and the Canadian gossip site. My headline is what Kentucky MWildcats basketball fans are probably posting on 'Cats blogs tonight after the storied program, the winningest of all time as they never tire of reminding people, lost to Gardner-Webb 84-64. Gardner-Who? Now, admittedly, I'm […]

A Canadian celebrity gossip blog called "Is This Happening?!" has an item which seems to out 19-year-old Jiri Tlusty, a Toronto Maple Leafs rookie. It's solely based on a photo of Tlusty and another man apparently licking each other's tongues. A followup post says Tlusty read the item and wanted to reply. Asked why there […]

Since I've been picking on the New Jersey Devils, it seems only fair to pick on my hometown as well. The announced attendance for tonight's Philadelphia 76ers home game against Charlotte was just 9,317, which is bad enough. The Associated Press game summary put the actual crowd at about 6,000. Without the drawing card of […]

I previously discussed in this forum the New Jersey Devils' sad attendance in just their second game in the brand new Prudential Center (which some have now dubbed "The Rock" — mildly clever). In the comments that followed, one of the reasons given was that it was Halloween that night. Well, last night's announced crowd […]

No matter how badly the Indianapolis Colts cheated on Sunday by giving the Patriots faulty headsets and illegally pumping noise into the Dome (which they’ve been accused of before), it’s not nearly as bad as what goes on in the other football. This is a great compilation I hadn’t seen before. -Cyd Zeigler jr. [youtube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=GNCKn9qjbQo] […]

“I kind of like being a bad guy. If people want to think of us that way, I like it. We’re kind of like rogues.” — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. A guy who models for Stetson, Movado watches and GQ is […]
