Gaydar is amazingly accurate

This is not sports-specific, but fascinating nonetheless. “In just a fraction of a second, people can accurately judge the sexual orientation of other individuals by glancing at their faces, according to new research,” Science reports. Researchers showed men and women photos of 90 faces belonging to homosexual men and heterosexual men for intervals ranging from [...]

Cheers and tears in Torino

In the women’s figure-skating race yesterday, I bet Carolina Kostner to show, and that’s what she did.  Her Italian home-town crowd went wild when she delivered a personal-best skate that won bronze in the ISU grand prix finals in Torino.  I’m really pleased for this 20-year-old Italian skater.  It’s her first world-level medal.  Her hard work, grit [...]

David Beckham enhanced?

The London Daily Mail has an article about a photo shoot from a new Armani campaign that suggests that certain body parts might be, uh, digitally enhanced: The former England captain stares sternly from the poster as if defying anyone to suggest a little computer enhancement might have contributed to the chiselled six-pack or, indeed, [...]

Should some gays not talk sports?

Last week, as part of their NFL preview, the Philadelphia Daily News published a special section focusing on Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks, past and present. The section was inspired by the drafting of Kevin Kolb to be Donovan McNabb’s heir apparent. Included in this section was a two-page spread in which the paper asked, “Who is [...]

From 10 questions for Terrell Owens on Time.com: “What’s your favorite TV show and why? Sascha Falahat, SOUTH BEND, IND. I’m going to mention two shows. The first is America’s Next Top Model. I just like to see how people interact–women can be catty once they’re together. And my other favorite is the channel HGTV. [...]

Flutie now a redhead

Doug Flutie won a Heisman Trophy. He played for over a dozen years in the NFL and CFL. Now, the player I once dubbed “The Chump” is bringing new meaning to that nickname with a dye job that makes Britney Spears’ chop job look like the work of Vidal Sassoon. You’d think after 21 years [...]
