It has been interesting to see mainstream writers wrestle with whether mixed martial arts is “gay.” The Daily Beast has had two somewhat-opposing columns on the subject in the past two weeks, the most recent by Sam Sheridan, himself a fighter. Writes Sheridan:
Having fought and trained a little, let me assure you that there is [...]

The debate: How gay is MMA?
Male fan shows love for part of Tim Tebow
Deadspin has a gallery up of Halloween costumes sent in by readers. One caught my eye and is very specific as to what part of Tim Tebow this guy hearts (sort of not safe for work):

Pro wrestling fans upset at sport being called gay
Want to piss off some pro wrestling fans? Write that their sport is gay. In a “Best Of” list from the Village Voice, one of their writers was clearly having some fun when he voted the Ring of Honor pro wrestling circuit the “Best Place to Watch Straight Men Get All Homoerotic.”
Wrestling is gay. That’s [...]

Yep, the headline is accurate. From a screen capture of the Yankees-Angels game sent on the Twitter feed of Bill Simmons of ESPN. Thanks to Druggy Bear for the link. Provide your own caption:

MMA gay porn for straight guys?
Boxer Bernard Hopkins is tired of his sport being compared to MMA, mostly because the whole gay porn thing. Oh yeah, that…
Everybody is different. I don’t want to watch two grown men wrestling with panties on. I’m from the hood, we don’t play that. To me, I’m not buying a ticket to watch two grown [...]
A straight guy’s top MMA hotties
Quinn Wolfe goes to my gym in the Silver Lake section of L.A. Quinn and I somehow got on the topic of how hot some Mixed Martial Artists are. He started giving me his list, then added, “But I’m straight. Will that hurt my credibility?” It will only enhance it, I said, giving a unique [...]
Jon Gruden’s homoerotic moment
New ESPN NFL analyst Jon Gruden may be a candidate to join Phil Simms in the homoerotic announcing Hall of Fame. I already have heard him enthuse about a player’s physical traits and talk about “sticking it in there.” My friend Matthew sent along this gem from the Vikings-Packers Monday nighter:
Situation: Packers need the first [...]
Nick Youngquest on gay Sex Issue cover
Thanks again to our friends at VGLMen, the latest issue of the UK’s Attitude magazine is out, and Aussie rugger Nick Youngquest is nearly naked on the cover, wearing a VERY small bikini swimsuit! Interesting that Youngquest would pose for cover of The Sex Issue for a gay-men’s magazine. Interesting and cool, especially since VGL [...]
Dieux du Stade coverboy James Haskell
The 2010 edition of Dieux du Stade is on its way, and we have the calendar coverboy to look at while we wait. British rugger James Haskell is the latest stadium god to get naked for the annual homoerotic fleshfest, and you can already pre-order the calendar to see more of him. The calendar’s release [...]
Weekend Hot Jock: Decathlete Trey Hardee
Our Weekend Hot Jock can arguably be called the “world’s greatest athlete.” American Trey Hardee won the decathlon gold medal at the World Track and Field Championships in Berlin.
Hardee, 25, is a perfectly sculpted 6-5, 210-pounder from Texas. On his Twitter feed he tells us he “loves Jesus, oatmeal, naps, his dog Dignan, pole vaulting, [...]
Hot jock: Decatlete Bjorn Barrefors
We have featured Bjorn Barrefors before. He is a 21-year-old Swede who competes in the decathlon for the University of Nebraska (he has his own Twitter feed). What caught our eye were these images of Barrefors at the recent European Combined meet in Poland taken by the awesome Trackpic. They’re from Barrefors tossing the discus.

Football being used to sell Sleaze
Apparently, there’s an annual event in Sydney, Australia, called the Sleaze Ball. And apparently, this year’s promotional campaign will use sports to draw in revelers. And also apparently, the photographers behind the photo shoot don’t know a football from a football. Look, the pics are pretty sexy for sure. But couldn’t they offer some semblance [...]
Video: Tennessee football team poses shirtless
This is how Deadspin described the video below of University of Tennessee players posing shirtless in front of an orange Lamborghini to the song “I’m Too Sexy.”
Yes, that photo is exactly what it looks like. The Tennessee Volunteers turning Deadspin into OutSports. It seems Lane Kiffin rewarded those players who kept in shape over the [...]
Photo: Joe Cox shows his namesake
From the Sporting News, via Deadspin, comes this profile of Georgia QB Joe Cox answering some questions (he likes Greek chicken wings and Halle Berry) and wearing a very tight uniform that leaves little to the imagination. Photo below not necessarily safe for work even though it appears in a mainstream pub:

Total Eclipse of the (Homoerotic) Heart
All I remember from watching the music video for Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart many years ago was mood lighting. But the new “literal” version of the video, in which they song’s lyrics describe what you’re seeing in the video, put front-and-center tons of homoerotic sports. Wet swimmers, a locker room, hot fencers, [...]
