Gallery: More Halloween Hot Jocks
As a Thanksgiving treat, our awesome photographer friend Brent shared with us some more of the photos he took at another, sexier holiday — Halloween. This follows on the heels of his popular gallery from earlier this month from Halloween in West Hollywood. Not everyone is a jock but some of the costumes are very [...]
Gallery: European swimming and diving
The 2010 European swimming and diving championships were held this month in Budapest, Hungary. And thanks to G. Scala at Deepbluemedia.eu, we were able to put together a photo gallery from the event. One of my favorites is this French foursome who got real close to each after a relay win: Share on Facebook
Photo gallery: Decathletes by Trackpic
Outsports is a big fan of the photo site Trackpic, which specializes in shooting track and field events in Europe, with an emphasis on the decathlon. Decathletes are amazing athletes, who need the ability to run fast and for distance, in addition to strength for events such as the pole vault and discus. Trackpic has [...]
Roses Are Red… And So Are Fields?
Boise State is going into the season ranked #5 in the Coaches’ Poll. And the first thing many people think about when they say Boise State is that insane blue field they’ve got up there. Well, someone at Eastern Washington University saw that pretty little 5 by Boise State’s name and a light bulb turned [...]
Thomas and Youngquest strike a pose
This picture of openly gay rugger Gareth Thomas and straight Nick Youngquest may look like just a couple very hot guys with their shirts off. And it is that. But it’s also a statement. Youngquest didn’t have to pose shirtless rubbing bods with Thomas, but he did. And with the flirtatious tweeting between the two [...]

Want to be in the new gay Iwo Jima photo?
An organization is looking for men and women to be a part of a second “gay” recreation of the famous Iwo Jima photo. You may have seen the first incarnation (right), and now The Gay State is updating it. Specifically, they’re looking for in-shape athletes. What they’re looking for: Given the nature of the shoot [...]
Matthew Mitcham photos by William Yang
Photographer William Yang recently got Olympic diver Matthew Mitcham to sit down for a photo shoot. I love the outcome. Yang took raw images of Mitcham and his great smile and wrote on the prints. The series is called simply “Photographing Matthew Mitcham” and is presently displayed at a gallery in Sydney. Unfortunately, it looks [...]
Look back at the book Athlete/Warrior
The blog Andrey’s World gave a flash back to the picture book Athlete/Warrior this week, so we will too. It’s from the photographer duo Anderson & Low and features gorgeous black & white images of student-athletes at our country’s top military universities. This one is just a sample, and there’s another after the jump. Stunning [...]
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 [...]
