TMZ reports on their website (and their highly entertaining, snarky TV show) that former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Warren Sapp is acting out behind the scenes of ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars.” Sapp, who retired after the 2007 season, is a contestant on the current season of the show. TMZ says that Sapp is [...]

Hot Guy, Hot Horses
A gay man who is a friend of mine sent me this link to “Lorenzo the Flying Frenchman” with the comment that he thought the horses and the guy were both hot. I agree, and want to share them with Outsports readers. The tradition of “Roman riding” and “Roman driving” has been around for a couple [...]
Romo’s girlfriend drama, part 7 (or 8?)
Does Tony Romo have a hankering for an old flame? The Cowboys quarterback’s ex-girlfriend, singer Carrie Underwood, told Allure magazine in its September issue that he still calls her. “The phone will ring and it’ll be him, and I’ll maybe not answer.”
This drew a response from his current girlfriend, Jessica “Yoko Romo” Simpson, who told [...]
Kenny Chesney’s NFL undressing
Country crooner Kenny Chesney certainly isn’t doing much these days to end the gay rumors that have followed him throughout his career.
Chesney, in New Orleans for a concert this week, hit the practice field on Monday with the New Orleans Saints. After, head coach Sean Payton recounted how Chesney helped strip down Saints cornerback Mike [...]
Chesney concert interrupted by better song
Kenny Chesney’s “Poets and Pirates” tour reached Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night. Appropriately, the country singer’s concert was interrupted for a rendition of the Eagles’ Fight Song:

Broadcasters go gay for Beckham
What is it with newscasters and soccer stud David Beckham?
The latest round came Thursday when Fox morning show host Brian Kilmeade got a little tongued-tied when Gretchen Carlson called him on his burgeoning man crush over Beckham. He was on “Fox & Friends” to promote his three-part interview with Beckham.
“It is impossible not to notice [...]
‘Borat’ creator’s gay wrestling match
British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, aka “Borat,” apparently has duped Arkansas fight fans by promising “hot chicks, cold beer, hardcore fights,” but delivering a show that had two male wrestlers kiss and make out.
The unsuspecting audience who turned up for the Blue Collar Brawlin’ event, lured by the promise of $1 beer, expected a night [...]
Is A-Rod Madonna’s new bat boy?
It’s a great day for a gay journalist who loves sports when I can write about A-Rod and Madonna in a single post.
Ah, yes. It seems the subject of my long-standing man crush, Alex Rodriguez, and a favorite crooner diva of mine, Madonna, are friends. And when I say friends, I mean it in the [...]
Tiger Woods, wrong again
Tiger Woods said last year at Oakmont, site of the 2007 US Open, that no 10-handicapper could break 100 at the course. I don’t know what a 10-handicapper is, and I don’t care. All I know is that this statement, like his comment this week that nobody watches hockey anymore, has effectively been proven wrong. [...]
Mariah Carey: Worst. Pitcher. Ever.
Mariah Carey was in Japan promoting her new album this week, so one of her handlers (not Benny Medina, we’re told) decided to get her a stint throwing out the opening pitch of a baseball game there. Of course, someone might have wanted to explain that the goal was to get the ball to the [...]
‘Sex and the City,’ the lesbian sports angle
Don’t tell those sports-loving New Yorkers this, but Cynthia Nixon doesn’t much care for sports. In fact, she doesn’t even own a television.
And she calls herself a lesbian? Her partner, though, makes her watch. You gotta love couples.
This tidbit is courtesy of a Q&A with Nixon in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. And you thought [...]
If only it were the NFL…
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). And [...]
“Work Out,” reality TV normalizing gays
The third season of Work Out, Bravo’s mostly-gay gym drama, premieres this week. AfterEllen.com has an insightful article on the reality show and its star, Jackie Warner:
Warner is a unique personality on the television landscape - a lesbian, an athlete and a businesswoman. In a medium where elite female athletes are not given much coverage [...]
Sir Ian McKellen singles out closeted athletes
At a speech Thursday for Stonewall’s annual Equity Dinner in London, Sir Ian McKellen ended his keynote remarks with an interesting question: “Where are the sports people who will brave the ragging in the changing rooms and the heckling from the terraces?” Coming from him, this is more than a fair question. McKellen is openly gay. He participates [...]
Deion to do his best Bobby Brown impression
Get ready. Deion Sanders, his wife Pilar, and his kids are ready to hit “Prime Time” together on Oxygen (yes, that Oxygen) in a Bobby/Whitney-esque show that follows the family’s travails together on a show called, “Deion and Pilar Sanders: Prime Time Love.” On the one hand, it looks funny. On the other hand, I’m [...]
