This is Toronto (aka - Leaf Nation) and this is a Maple Leaf we are talking about. The pics and stories about the naked pics are EVERYWHERE. It was banner headlines covering half the front page of the Toronto Sun this morning. Then was either the lead or second story on every television newscast this evening. That is newscast - not just in the sports section of the nightly news. TSN and Sportsnet have been running stories on it all night. Leafs and other NHL players have been interviewed for their 'reactions'. Oh Jiri - I hope you don't make any boneheaded plays like your teammate McCabe did last night in overtime - in our next home game against the Sens Saturday night. In fact it would be great if you could score a goal. I'll be at the game and we'll cheer for you - gay or not! And if you happen to be gay - I'll be up in Section 312 - Row 4 - Seat 16. I'd be happy to take you out for a drink after the game. I know some places on Church Street you might like. ;-) xoxo Pat Well the naked pics of Tlusty are front page news now.

It's T-licky, It's T-lascivious, it's T-lusty! Ever since I saw Jiri’s name this morning I can’t get that Cole Porter song outta my head.

It’s T-licky, It’s T-lascivious, it’s T-lusty!

My teammates have done way gayer things than that, and they're still quite straight. Yeah, that photo doesn’t mean anything.

And I think pictures like that are increasingly common. Younger guys simply don't have the hangups that a generation before might have had and can have a little fun without getting worried about how they're perceived. Hopefully, at some point, there will be a tipping point at which the rest of the public will also be at that stage so there won't be any particular reason for gossip rags to breathlessly trumpet such photos as possible "gay clues." And hopefully they'll still run them, simply as candid pics of guys having fun, since I rather enjoy seeing them. :wink: People get hung up too much on pictures of guys goofing around with other guys.
