Thanks to the BCS, I’ve lost interest in college football over the last five to seven years. In the mid-Nineties, it was my favorite sports; Now, I keep a passing interest in it. The problems with the BCS are so deeply well-chronicled, I won’t get into them here. But this is the first year I’m [...]

Former NFL loud mouth Warren Sapp lost to a girl in the final episode of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Sapp and his dance partner Kym Johnson were runner-ups to Brooke Burke and her dance partner, Derek Hough. Up next for Sapp? Celebrity Rehab? Iron Chef America? Hollywood Squares?

Every year for the last few years, gay watchdogs like GLAAD and Commercial Closet have given out kudos and/or handslaps to companies for their Super Bowl commercials, based on how gay-friendly the commercials are. Right now, Doritos is running a contest to see which commercial they will air during this year’s Super Bowl. They’ve already [...]

Warren Sapp apparently wants to be the only former Buc doing reality TV. Sapp, who’s currently on Dancing with the Stars, was asked on Inside the NFL about Keyshawn Johnson’s new interior design show. Said Sapp:
Me, watch Keyshawn on an interior decorating show? Keyshawn, I knew you were a bitch. And thanks for making it [...]

In 2003, Out magazine named Eric Millegan “Hottest Up-and-Coming Openly Gay Actor of 2003.” He’s best known for playing Zack Addy, a regular character during the first three seasons on the Fox TV series Bones.  Millegan is now indulging his passion for the NBA — and his beloved Portland Trail Blazers — with “Eric Millegan’s [...]

Big kudos to the NFL for showing some sensitivity about the worsening economic situation. First, the league is lowering the playoff-ticket pricing guidelines for this season. According to NFL.com, the average ticket prices for playoff games should be about 10% lower this season, and for the first time the league has authorized lower prices for [...]

Earlier this summer, a producer friend of mine was pitching a gay-football TV show to, among other networks, A&E. He was told that they didn’t want to do football shows. Apparently, they’re OK with a loud-mouthed football player doing an interior-design show:
A&E Network has two real-life original series in production. The new series Keyshawn Johnson: [...]

The Phillies are one win away from the second World Series championship in their history, and the first championship for any Philadelphia team in the four major pro sports in 25 years. The anticipation of what might happen as soon as tomorrow night is already pounding my brain.
This is bad news for Fox, however. The [...]

Anxious as I am to find out who will be the Phillies’ opponent in the World Series, I tuned into TBS at 8:07 pm, just in time for the scheduled first pitch of the game, only to find an episode of The Steve Harvey Show. The game must be in a rain delay, I thought, [...]

The WNBA Finals tipped off last night with a victory for the Detroit Shock over the San Antonio Silver Stars (I had to look that one up), 77-69. The League is touting an increase in ticket sales and TV viewership this season, which is nice. But then I looked at the numbers. The average rating [...]

It seems most seasons of Survivor feature at least one gay person, and this season, taped in Gabon, is no different. Charlie Herschel is a lawyer in New York City, a marathoner and a runner, and quite popular in these parts. He’s a fun-loving free spirit who seems to charm everyone he meets. I met [...]

Growing up in a Mormon house with five athletic brothers and a football coach father taught Rory Ray (photo) lessons about himself, sports and family. It also unwittingly helped prepare him for his latest gig as a member of an ensemble cast on the newest entrant into reality television.

Logo will debut the reality show “Shirts and Skins” on Sept. 15, which follows the San Francisco Rock Dogs basketball team. My great friend and Outsports web developer Rory Ray is among the players on the show. Here is a video preview:

We’ve been excitedly awaiting first word about Logo’s upcoming series Shirts & Skins, and we’ve finally got it. Apparently, the first couple of episodes have been delivered and word is that it’s really good.
Our big worry has been that Logo would drive the show to focus too much on the skin aspect of the show. [...]
