Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn hasn’t done a whole lot yet in his NFL career and still might not be the Browns’ 2009 starter. But this still has not stopped him from getting product endorsements and being regularly featured on the cover of magazines.
His latest cover is the upcoming issue of “Muscle & Fitness,” which [...]

Gay history footnote on the NAACP
Yesterday, as I listened to President Obama’s rousing speech at the NAACP convention, I was reminded that a pioneering gay activist’s adoptive mother was a charter member of the NAACP. The organization is celebrating its centennial of historic activity in American civil rights. Bayard Rustin’s mother Julia Rustin, a black Quaker, distinguished herself for her [...]
Ian Thorpe speaks out, but doesn’t come out
Ian Thorpe, the now chubby Australian swimming icon, grabbed his public megaphone and declared again today that he’s not gay. Thorpe again came out as not gay to address media speculation that he’s in more than a bromance with housemate Daniel Mendes after the two were photographed on holiday in Brazil.
“In the past, on several [...]
Ian Thorpe’s Brazilian male ‘roommate’
Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe has denied he is gay, but has said that he is in love with someone from another country. So, the revelation that Thorpe was seen frolicking on a Brazilian beach with Brazilian swimmer Daniel Mendes — someone he has lived with in Australia for three years — is just one example [...]

Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic sings Beyonce songs while getting ready to shoot free throws. Howard talked about his in-game song choices on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption.” (Video below the jump, the Beyonce talk starts at the 2:00 mark)

Brady Quinn punched in face by teammate
If true, it’s a crime against beauty — Cleveland Browns coach Romeo Crennell won’t confirm or deny that injured quarterback Brady Quinn was punched in the face by defensive lineman Shaun Smith in the team’s weight room. Various reports say Smith hit Quinn with his fist or with a weight. If true, it would be [...]

From Down Under comes news that Olympics diving goldist Matt Mitcham has added yet another major award to his fistful of medals. The coveted Sports Performer of the Year award came to him the other night in Melbourne. Mitcham was one of eight outstanding athletes who were nominated for the 2008 award, including triathlete Emma Snowsill, swimmer Stephanie Rice [...]
Diving outdoors freaks out Mitcham
Olympic gold medal diver Matthew Mitcham fearlessly jumps from 30 feet high while doing amazing twists, yet it still freaks him out to have to dive outdoors. And next year’s world diving championships in Rome are outdoors.
“I have a few fears and diving outdoors is one of them,” Mitcham told the Australian. “I usually spot [...]
Brady Quinn, gay punchline, to get first NFL start
Brady Quinn, who got my vote as the 2007 hottest player in the NFL despite throwing only eight passes, will get his first start Thursday night at home against the Denver Broncos.
Quinn replaces an inconsistent Derek Anderson, who has become the fall guy in the Browns’ disappointing 3-5 start. I have been calling for Quinn [...]
Andy Roddick’s ‘full Monty’ a hot item
Andy Roddick can sell sexy. But strip off his shirt and things get hotter. Promise a “full Monty” and, well, that can drive a crowd wild.
Roddick was in Atlanta on Sunday for the 16th annual Advanta WTT Smash Hits, an event hosted by Elton John to raise funds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation and the [...]

The unsporty side of the All-Star Game
Historic night. Longest All-Star Game ever. AL gets home field advantage – again.
Yeah, yeah. Nice and touching moments from MLB’s All-Star Game last night, which really didn’t end until this morning. But I’m more interested in the tidbits that didn’t take place on the field. You know, those special moments when sport crosses celebrity and [...]
A-Rod as punch line for the AirHogs
Oh, those whacky Grand Prairie AirHogs.
The indie league baseball team from Texas is trying to capitalize on the A-Rod and Madonna “friendship” to put butts in their seats on Wednesday. If fans come to the game claiming to “share an agent” – Madge and the slugging manwhore share agent Guy Oseary – they’ll gain admission [...]
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 [...]
