War Emblem won the 2002 Kentucky Derby and is now living the equine life of luxury on a Japanese stud farm. The New York Times reports, though, that the stud is a dud when it comes to hooking up with mares. War Emblem is in therapy. He is isolated from the other studs at Shadai […]

English soccer star Joe Cole has surpassed David Beckham as the biggest icon among gay male soccer fans, according to a gay and lesbian dating website. Joe Cole and his Chelsea namesake Ashley’s wife Cheryl have scored a remarkable double in a popularity poll – for a gay website. JC has leapfrogged over David Beckham […]

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 […]

In sort of a "like father, like son" situation, the Philadelphia Phantoms defeated the Albany River Rats in a five-overtime American Hockey League playoff marathon last night. Ryan Potulny scored at 2:58 of the fifth overtime to win it. At 142 minutes, 58 seconds, it's the longest game in AHL history. The Phantoms outshot the […]

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?) […]

A number of blogs wrote about a photo at the "BangBros" website — it's a hardcore porn site — showing someone who appears to be Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens in the background. No, he's not participating in any action. No one's even nude in the picture. He's just standing in the background with […]

After one round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, last year’s two finalists are already gone. There hasn’t been a repeat champion since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and 1998, and the 2006-07 champion Anaheim Ducks were sent packing by the Dallas Stars. The Ducks become the fifth consecutive Cup winner to either not make […]

Imagine this: this coming Monday night. National television. A football game featuring 7-0 Dallas at 8-0 Philadelphia. The Eastern Division lead at stake. Sounds just perfect, right? Unfortunately, it's not the Cowboys at the Eagles. Or even (alert: Simpsons reference) a WNFL game between the Cowgirls and the She-gles ("No love lost there!" said Bart). […]

In Game 1 of their NBA playoff series, the Atlanta Hawks were embarrassed in front of a national television audience. In their first playoff series in nine years, the team suffered a 104-81 blowout on the road in Boston. But I’m not talking about that embarrassment. Take a look at the new haircut Josh Smith […]

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 […]

Deadspin, an allegedly straight-run sports website, has a thing for linking to items about nude male jocks (we’re not complaining mind you, just sayin’). They unearthed what appears to be Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes, in the shower minus anything but a LIVE STRONG bracelet. Follow this link and it will take you to […]

One certainly can’t accuse the New England Patriots of lowering expectations as they head into the 2008 season. From The Smoking Gun: Three months after their bid for an undefeated season ended with a Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants, the New England Patriots are continuing to pursue trademarks on the phrases “19-0” […]

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 […]

After three years of trying, and placing as high as 4th in the Indy 500, 26-year-old Danica Patrick finally won her first IndyCar race this weekend. It was the Japan 300 at Motegi on the international Indy series, making her the first female winner in IndyCar history. “Boys, move over. The lady is coming through,” […]

I apologize for not being on the ball lately, I am actually on vacation in Colorado for a couple of weeks and my hometown, Yuma, CO, population 2500, is severely lacking in Internet connections. I wanted to throw my 2 cents in on the 22 innings game that I watched in its entirety from 8 […]

For the third time (at least) in the last three years the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox managed to take over four hours to play a nine-inning baseball game. Wednesday night's marathon, won by the Yankees 15-9, took 4 hours, 8 minutes, but that was nothing compared to the surreal scene last night […]
