With Women’s History Month in full swing, I regret to report that some in NASCAR still haven’t decided if it’s Women’s History Century yet. But today their website did feature a story about Chrissy Wallace, talented driver daughter of NASCAR National Series driver Mike Wallace. NASCAR kinda had to recognize Chrissy, because she just signed […]

So late last night I tuned into ESPN2 in time for the second half of a West Coast Conference men's basketball semifinal between San Diego and St. Mary's. San Diego pulled off a 75-69 win in double overtime despite trailing the Gaels by 15 midway through the second half; the Toreros finished the second half […]

I don’t have much to add to this CNN.com “news” item about a urology clinic in Oregon that is using March Madness to entice men to book vasectomy appointments. But I just couldn’t resist. It’s not every day you see groin-swelling journalism that combines NCAA basketball and the male reproductive organ (both of which, incidentally, […]

By Dan Woog They were good. But they grew up, went to college, got jobs, came to terms with being gay, and had no time to smash a little white ball across a small green table. Eventually, though, they realized that life is more than going to work and clubs. They came back to Ping-Pong. […]

Tennessee Vols women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt apparently dislocated her shoulder this week chasing a beaver raccoon from her house. Said Summitt: “When I realized what could have happened, it almost brought me to tears. It wasn’t very smart on my part.” It’s a lesson women everywhere can learn from. When a beaver raccoon presents […]

During Saturday night’s North Carolina men’s college basketball win at Duke, ESPN cut away to a sideline reporter for a bit about the revival of “Speedo Guy,” a Duke fan behind the Carolina basket who stripped to his swimsuit as distraction. Seems a Speedo Guy from 2005 (there have been more than one) was so […]

The King of the Hardwood qualifying round has now moved onto the soccer players. German player Lukas Podolski is drawing votes in early balloting, but the field is wide open. Vote here and before you do check out the terrific slideshow of all the athletes and the winners of previous elimination rounds. The King of […]

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 […]

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre, in his retirement press conference, talked about some of the things he is going to miss: Football, I think is very unique in that of all the sports because you have to rely on one another so much more than the other sports and it's a physical sport, which […]

The #6 ranked Andy Roddick sent more than just Rafael Nadal packing, 7-6 (5), 6-2, in the quarterfinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships Thursday. Roddick revealed in his post-match press conference that he’d parted ways with coach Jimmy Connors, who reportedly broke-up with Andy a week ago to “spend time with his family.” The AP […]

Keith Carney chases his dream of being an Olympian Keith Carney is a long track speedskater who is training with his goal to compete in the 2010 Olympics. At the U.S. Championships in December he set a personal record and finished 10th in the men’s 5,000 meters. He is also openly gay and wrote about […]

The King of the Hardwood qualifying round has not moved onto the NFL players. Miami Dolphins lineman Jason Taylor is drawing votes in early balloting, but the early leaders are mostly quarterbacks. Vote here and before you do check out the terrific slideshow of all the athletes and the winners of previous elimination rounds. The […]

Harvard has decided to ban men from certain gyms during some hours, catering to Muslim women who don’t feel comfortable exercising in front of men. The sexist policy certainly brings up fears of a slippery slope. If women can get men banned from gyms, why not ban blacks from gyms at certain times because some […]

I admit that the charms of NASCAR (or any auto racing) have always eluded me, but I did like the analogy of why one gay Atlanta drag queen, Betty Jack Devine, loves the sport. “Part of what I like about it is the same things I love about opera,” Devine told the Southern Voice. “I’ve […]

Outsports readers have always had a soft spot for quarterback Joey Harrington going back to his days at the University of Oregon. A lot had to do with the fact that he is considered pretty hot and a lot to what seemed like a great personality and his ability to play the piano. A lot […]

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, […]

Some stories just write themselves, such as this pitch Outsports received for “Gods of Sport,” a 224-page pictorial featuring 24 stars of Australian Rules Football and Rugby League. Creatively inspired by the homoeroticism of tough guy movies such as Fight Club, in “Gods of Sport” [photographer] Pedro Virgil conceptually depicts the machismo and sporting combat […]

Oakland Athletics pitcher Lenny DiNardo showed off his pecs for charity during an annual spring training event where players participate as waiters, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Lenny DiNardo, who is known in the A's clubhouse for his chiseled upper body, was induced to do shirtless bare-knuckle pushups on the stage, and he earned […]
