The Cleveland Browns traded Brady Quinn to the Denver Broncos, meaning the NFL’s hottest quarterback will now be residing in the Rockies.
Quinn, a 2007 first-round pick who has been mediocre at best, was traded for fullback Peyton Hillis, a sixth-round pick in 2011 and a pick in 2012.

NFL Combine, aka, the Underwear Olympics
The NFL is holding its annual rookie Combine in Indianapolis, a flesh-fest where prospective draftees are tested, poked and prodded to see if they have what it takes to play in the league. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk has dubbed it the “Underwear Olympics,” though don’t expect to see any of the players in [...]
Chad Ochocinco, Evan Lysacek on DWTS
ABC has announced the celebrity lineup for the new season of Dancing With The Stars. As usual, it includes people with connections to the world of sports. I have no idea how this will play out on the dance floor (and don’t really care) but I have a couple of observations:
It makes perfect sense for [...]
Tebow/Focus Super Bowl ad: least-watched
I had no idea that the Nielsen Company was this detailed. They actually provide individual ratings for the TV commercials shown during the Super Bowl. The most-watched commercial was the Doritos “Snack Attack Samurai” ad, followed by the “Green Police” Audi ad. The least-watched? The Focus on the Family anti-abortion ad starring Tim Tebow and [...]
Peyton Manning refuses to shake Saints’ hands
I don’t want to pile on to the Colts’ loss in the Super Bowl, but when other people have avoided post-loss handshakes it’s made headlines so I think this deserves some comment. It seems Colts quarterback Peyton Manning wasn’t interested in sticking around to shake the hands of the New Orleans Saints after he blew [...]
Watch the bizarre Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad
What were they thinking? The Focus on the Family ad that aired during the Super Bowl aimed at fighting abortion instead promoted domestic violence with Tim Tebow tackling his mother. When it aired, everyone at the party looked at each other with a “what in hell did I just see” look. You can see it [...]
Poll: Who will win the Super Bowl?
Saints-Colts in the Super Bowl. Two great offenses, two great quarterbacks. But will it be a great game? Sometimes, the games we most anticipate fall flat, while ones that seem ho-hum going in are great.
I already made my pick: Colts by 7. Who do you have? And why? Take our poll:

Michael Irvin’s show canceled, accused of rape
For the last 18 months I’ve appeared regularly on one of radio’s gay-friendliest sports talk shows, The Michael Irvin Show. I called the show’s producer this morning to find out when we were going on, and he told me the show had not been picked up; And while the show was supposed to air today [...]
Weekend Hot Jock: Colts WR Sam Giguere
There will a ton of hot players to watch Sunday in the Saints-Colts Super Bowl, but reserve Colts receiver Sam Giguere probably won’t be among them. The 24-year-old, 5-11, 215-pounder from Canada will likely be one of the team’s inactives.
Giguere was active for only one game but the Colts like his potential as a receiver [...]
Donny Deutsch: Not enough gays watch football
Outspoken advertising maven Donny Deutsch has weighed in on the rejected Mancrunch ad for the Super Bowl saying not enough gays watch football to warrant the ad buy. He told Larry King:
It’s hard to argue that it makes sense to reach a very targeted audience of gay males in America by advertising to this mass [...]
CBS helped write Focus on the Family script
Not only has CBS agreed to break its policy against political advocacy ads, but they helped the anti-gay Focus on the Family craft their anti-abortion commercial starring Tim Tebow! Gary Schneeberger, spokesperson for Focus on the Family, told the Daily Beast:
We’ve worked with [CBS] almost since the beginning. Our senior vice presidents talked to CBS [...]
Saints’ Scott Fujita is pro-gay rights
In my Super Bowl for the Clueless column, I wrote about New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita, an outspoken advocate of gay rights, including marriage. Fujita, a Cal Berkeley grad, is very passionate about social issues and at Super Bowl media day, he did not back down from his views, addressing gay rights and also [...]
Saint Timothy Has A Bad Senior Bowl
It’s been said “the spread offense is killing the quarterback position from the ground up.” Nowhere was that more evident than seeing former Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow playing yesterday in the Senior Bowl. In a week where he had to answer reporters and protestors about his anti-abortion, um, “Celebration of the Family” advertisement, young [...]
Mancrunch Super Bowl ad is really bad. Hoax?
For everyone (including myself) who wanted to say CBS’s potential rejection of the Mancrunch ad featuring two men kissing implied some homophobia, I present you evidence to another possibility: This is a terrible ad. It’s clear the site owners had absolutely no intention of this ever making it to the air; It wouldn’t pass the [...]
Lambda Legal responds to Ovie Mughelli
We recently reported on the legal action Atlanta Falcon Ovie Mughelli had taken against some blogs that published the claims of a man alleging a sexual relationship with Mughelli. Now Lambda Legal is fighting back saying calling someone gay is not defamatory.
In the letter sent to various blogs, Mughelli’s attorney Phaedra Parks claimed the blogs [...]
