Transgender New Yorker Angelina Mavilia has filed a lawsuit against former NFL player Eric Green (right), alleging forced sodomy. She’s suing for $10 million.
The two met in a Scottsdale, Ariz., casino in early 2009 when Green still played for the Arizona Cardinals, the 38-year-old East Side woman says in papers filed in federal court in [...]

Former NFL player Eric Green accused of sodomy
CBS hasn’t approved Mancrunch, GoDaddy ads
The excuses are running out for CBS regarding their decision to air an advocacy ad against abortion, created by the hate group Focus on the Family and starring Tim Tebow, during the Super Bowl. The latest is news they rejected a gay-themed ad from GoDaddy.com that showed a former pro football player who had become [...]
Tim Tebow’s really bad day on- and off-field
Yesterday was not a good day for Tim Tebow. On top of a bad day of practice for the Senior Bowl, the former Florida quarterback who has cut a commercial for Focus on the Family is the target of a protest by a coalition of women’s organizations unhappy with the anti-abortion-rights message of Tebow’s commercial.

Rare Vikings fan in New Orleans
Minnesota ABC affiliate KSTP this week featured a rare diehard Minnesota Vikings fan living in New Orleans, and he just happens to be our longtime friend, Steve Paster. He’s been in our fantasy league for 10 years, almost as long as he’s been with his wonderful partner Jerry (whose son, Adam, is also featured in [...]
Prince sings for the Vikings
The Artist Formerly — And Currently — Known as Prince has written a theme song for the Minnesota Vikings. The Minneapolis native was at the Vikings’ 34-3 NFC Divisional Playoff rout of the Dallas Cowboys and, inspired, went home immediately after the game and wrote “Purple and Gold,” which you can listen to in its [...]
Poll: Pick the Super Bowl teams
First up Sunday is the AFC title games (Jets at Colts), followed by the NFC (Vikings at Saints). I picked the Colts by 13 and the Saints by 7, and also want both teams to win. Take our poll below of who you think will win, and would love to hear why and what teams [...]
Weekend Hot Jocks: 5 from the NFL playoffs
The NFL four divisional playoff games are this weekend and there will be no shortage of players to watch. I have chosen some from each of the four games: Cardinals and Saints; Ravens at Colts; Cowboys at Vikings and Jets at Chargers. Big thanks to Sportinlife, who clued me in on a couple of them.

Patriots put Keifer Sutherland in a dress
Keifer Sutherland appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman last night in a dress (and an ugly one at that; looked more like window curtains). When Letterman asked him “wassup with the dress?” Sutherland admitted he put a little too much faith in Tom Brady:
I lost a bet. Over the weekend, I was so [...]
Haiti disaster affects NFL player
The news out of Haiti following a 7.0 earthquake is hard to imagine — reports of tens of thousands dead and the capital Port-au-Prince rendered all but uninhabitable (details on how to donate below). One NFL player with roots to the island is trying to raise awareness and money to help those in need.
“We need [...]
Latest ‘when will NFL get gay player’ column
Every six months or so, someone in the mainstream media decides to write the latest “When will we see an active out player in the [insert pro sports league here]” column. This month it’s Dan Solomon on AOL’s Asylum. It contains pretty much everything you’ve read here a dozen times: It’ll be someone who’s outed [...]
Cowboys finally win, Eagles do another el foldo
The Dallas Cowboys whipped the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-14, for their first NFL playoff win since 1996 and cemented the Eagles’ rep as the most underachieving team of the past decade.
The Cowboys dominated the wild card game and beat the Eagles for the second time in six days. It was a stunning turnaround; a week ago, [...]
‘Gay’ Peyton Manning wins MVP award
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning won a record fourth NFL MVP award in a landslide. When the news was posted on Pro Football Talk, there were the predictable comments praising Manning or decrying the choice.
But one comment had me both laughing and saying WTF for its sheer idiocy — Manning was chosen because he’s gay:

NFL playoffs start Saturday
In honor of the start of the NFL playoffs this weekend (Jets-Bengals, Eagles-Cowboys, Ravens-Patriots, Packers-Cardinals), it’s time to watch again one of the greatest NFL coaching rants ever. Courtesy of then-Colts coach Jim Mora in 2001:

Mercury Morris ‘disappointed’ by Colts loss
While I hated that the Colts yanked their starters in the third quarter Sunday against the Jets and then lost their first game of the season, the way they did it seems to have defanged the 1972 17-0 Miami Dolphins. The Fins every year pop the champagne corks when the last unbeaten team loses. It [...]
Vikings lose, continue late-season swoon
The final Monday Night Football game of the season was a doozy — Bears 36, Vikings 30 in overtime on a Jay Cutler 39-yard touchdown pass to Devin Aromashodu. The end spoiled a terrific comeback by the Vikings, who scored 30 second-half points. It also continued a tailspin that has seen Minnesota lose three of [...]
