Congressman: Kopay my hero
Washington congressman Jay Inslee supported the Employment and Nondiscrimination Act that passed the House in November and would offer job protection based on sexual orientation. In arguing for the bill’s passage, Inslee, a Democrat, talked about David Kopay, a former star for the University of Washington who came out as gay after a nine-year NFL [...]
Power Behind the Throne
Often we put such importance on the “star athlete who is out” that the importance of coaching is sometimes overlooked – especially the out stars who retire from competition in order to coach. Example of the moment: Canadian world champion figure skater Brian Orser, eight times Canadian national champion, who retired from intensive competing and touring in [...]
Win face time with Brady Quinn
Brady Quinn has not gotten a lot of face time this season, sitting on the bench as the Cleveland Browns backup quarterback. But four lucky people can win a meeting with the hottest man in the NFL in New York as part of a Gillette promotion with Facebook. Fans need to upload photos or videos [...]
Tom (Brady) of Finland
We noted last week that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was being considered as a model for Calvin Klein underwear. This inspired artist David Gilmore, who wrote us: “I read that Tom Brady is going to be the new …. ah…. face of Calvin Klein underwear. Christmas has come early! So I did a [...]

Tom Brady, rogue?
“I kind of like being a bad guy. If people want to think of us that way, I like it. We’re kind of like rogues.” — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. A guy who models for Stetson, Movado watches and GQ is [...]
Dear NFL
Dear Mike Pereira, NFL VP of officiating: I am watching the Pittsburgh Steelers stomp the Baltimore Ravens in cold, rainy Pittsburgh. Please do not send Ed “The Guns” Hochuli to any cold/rainy/places with the slightest chance the weather won’t be sunny and dry. It’s a crime that he should have to wear a long sleeved [...]
Reax to Harrington’s gay fans
We just never know which of our stories the media will pick up and run with. Jim wrote a great story about the only openly gay Div. 1 college head coach in the country, and it was met with the chirping of crickets. Then, Matt Hennie of Atlanta writes a story for us about gay [...]
Hottest athletes
The “hottest athlete” elections are with us once again. One that I’ve been following is on AOL Sports. AOL has worked men and women through tournament eliminations, and now dragster Ashley Force and NFL star Tom Brady are going neck and neck for “hottest athlete” overall. Voting ended yesterday. It seems unfair to make us [...]
Bloom wilting in Philly?
Two-time King of the Hardwood Jeremy Bloom might have a lot more time to ski, according to Eagles coach Andy Reid. The speedy kick returner has, according to Reid, been doing “just OK” in his attempt to play in his first NFL game. The Eagles drafted him last year, but an injury kept him sidelined [...]
Tom Brady, Baby Daddy
Talk about pressure. Bridget Moynahan gave birth to Tom Brady’s kid Wednesday night – and it was a boy. Cut to 2024 when this kid is supposed to be throwing touchdowns for his high school while modeling in Milan on the side. Oh, how tough it is to have good genes and a solid pedigree. [...]
