By Jim Buzinski | February 15, 2008The folks on ESPNEWS (and other places as well, I'm sure, but that's what I was watching at the time) were breathless a little earlier this evening. Just one day after the steroids showdown between Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee in a congressional hearing, it was reported that federal prosecutors, in papers filed in court […]
By Outsports Archives | February 14, 2008West Hollywood’s favorite horsey face new darling just might not be so gay-friendly. Despite pictures floating around the internet of Brady Quinn getting chummy with friends and dressing like the Village People, the Cleveland Browns overrated backup quarterback is being accused of yelling “faggot,” among other things, at gay passersby with a group of his […]
By Cyd Zeigler | February 13, 2008The all-body swimsuit is one of the great abominations ever invented by man. I understand their use in a competitive sense, but in a visual sense it’s just all wrong. Speedo is unveiling its line of ultra-sleek suits to be worn by U.S. swimmers at the Olympics and Michael Phelps is jazzed by his, according […]

By Cyd Zeigler | February 12, 2008Linus Thornblad, 22, is a Swedish high jumper with a great bod who doesn’t mind showing it off. Though straight, Thornblad had no reservations about being the cover boy for QX, the leading Swedish gay magazine. He’s also a bit of a tease, saying, “I have always been sure about my thing. So I’m just […]
By Jim Buzinski | February 12, 2008With the Olympics in China this summer, the U.S. team is shipping over tons of food to feed its athletes, the New York Times reports.

By Jim Buzinski | February 12, 2008In 2002, I did a stint on Fox Sports Radio’s very popular afternoon drive sports talk show, “Kiley & Booms.” The duo of Kevin Kiley and Chuck Booms were split up before the end of the year and the show was canceled. Both men made random tours around the dial over the last five years, […]

By Jim Buzinski | February 10, 2008It’s not one of those stories you want to read over breakfast, but the New York Times has an article on the time-honored hockey tactic of sticking a smelly glove in an opponent’s face to piss him off: The face wash is a baiting tactic that has been around since gloves were invented, or, as […]
By Jim Buzinski | February 10, 2008One thing that distinguishes the National Hockey League from the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball is the fact that they play the game on ice. This means that the players' skates are going to come into play occasionally in such a physical sport, and not just in the case of New York Islander imbecile […]

By Jim Buzinski | February 8, 2008St. Bonaventure swimmer Scott Jordan wrote a terrific first-person account of coming out to his team. Scott’s story touched a nerve and he has received loads of responses. He shared some of the reactions that touched him the most and he plans on writing about them in depth. These responses prove the adage that the […]
By Jim Buzinski | February 7, 2008Saturday is Hockey Day in Canada, the CBC’s annual daylong celebration of the sport, with special features and live broadcasts from towns across Canada, as well as a tripleheader of NHL games featuring the six Canadian teams. Unfortunately, the NHL returned from the 2005 lockout with an unbalanced schedule that resulted in some teams not […]
By Outsports Archives | February 7, 2008Ron Hextall is being inducted into the Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame before tonight's game. Besides his aggressive style of play — he was once suspended for 12 games after attacking Chris Chelios in retaliation for a dirty hit — Hextall was a trailblazer in the way he handled the puck. I was lucky enough […]
By Outsports Archives | February 6, 2008It’s good to see this subject finally talked about. And we needn’t look as far away as Spain to find this ugliness. Right here in the good old U.S. of A., the motorsports fans can watch NASCAR racing till the cows come home, and they will see nary a black driver in top competition. At […]
By Outsports Archives | February 6, 2008Here we go again. Last year it was the Snickers commercial that some gays got into an uproar about. Now Richard Simmons has some of them upset. Bridgestone released an ad for the game that features a driver trying to avoid a deer and Alice Cooper (odd, but whatever) standing in the middle of the […]
By Cyd Zeigler | February 6, 2008We don’t want to venture into politics here on Outsports, but John Amaechi is certainly going there so we’ll follow him into the shallow water. As I wrote in a recap of a panel discussion in Aspen last month, John’s big into the distinction between progress and change. For Keith Boykin’s new Web site, he […]
