Oh boy. First the defending Super Bowl champion quarterback appeared at the ESPYs looking like he’s put on 50 pounds. Now, Ben Roethlisberger has been named the defendent in a sexual assault civil suit brought by Andrea McNulty, an employee at Harrah’s in Reno, Nev. Roethlisberger’s lawyer denied the accusation and pointed out that no [...]

Billy Bean does the D-List
This week’s episode of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List featured out former MLB player Billy Bean in his now long-time career of real estate agent. In between hobnobbing with Rosie O’Donnell and Gloria Estefan, Bean showed Griffin some incredibly expensive real estate in Miami. The climax of the episode came when Griffin made [...]
T.O. goes naked for new VH1 show
The T.O. Show is making it’s fourth NFL stop in Buffalo this season, and VH1 is bringing it to your home starting July 20. Until then, they’re unleashing a campaign featuring the well-built wide receiver naked on a football field. It caught my eye as I was driving down La Cienega Blvd. here in L.A. [...]
NHL Winter Classic: let’s play two?
The NHL Winter Classic, thanks to successful outdoor games at Buffalo’s Ralph Wilson Stadium in 2008 and Chicago’s Wrigley Field this year, is quickly becoming a New Year’s Day tradition. Now the National Hockey League may be expanding it. Multiple sources are reporting that the league plans to turn the next Winter Classic into a [...]
Artie Lange takes over Joe Buck’s show
Updated June 15, 6pmPT.
Joe Buck and HBO are apologizing today for Artie Lange’s appearance on Buck’s debut show. Lange had a barrage for Buck that the host had absolutely no idea what to do with. It was great. At one point Lange asked Buck if “suckingcock.com” was his second favorite Web site. He dove into [...]
Dhani Jones tackling the globe again
Cincinnati Bengal (and former Philadelphia Eagle) Dhani Jones will film a second season of the Travel Channel series Dhani Tackles The Globe, in which he visits other countries and participates in sports popular in those lands. (When is the exotic “hockey in Canada” episode, I wonder?) Renaissance man that he is, Jones made the announcement [...]
Good ratings news for NHL, NBC
Granted, the May sweeps ended and the summer television doldrums are upon us, so many network programs are in reruns. Plus, Saturday night has become a true dead zone for network television. Taking all of that into consideration, though, NBC and the NHL have to be happy with the ratings for the first two games [...]
What did you think of ‘Glee’?
The gays seem to be all atwitter about the pilot for the new series Glee that Fox aired after American Idol tonight. It seems many of them are relating to the themes of being picked on by jocks and singing songs from Grease. I had been excited for it as the previews looked great, but [...]
World Series games to start earlier
One of my sports pet peeves has been the starting time and length of postseason baseball games, particularly the World Series. It has always been baseball’s showcase event and, in those olden days when games were played on weekday afternoons, kids of all ages and the young-at-heart would skip work or school, or sneak a [...]
Michael Irvin talks drugs, sex, TV
Every blogger gets their little fascination topics, and one of mine is Michael Irvin. He was on Sean Hannity’s show last night talking about his upcoming TV series, 4th and Long on Spike TV, and the troubles from his past. It’s those troubles that opened Michael’s eyes to the struggles in life and that have [...]
MLB Network clown apologizes
Last year, one or two of you may recall, I watched and reviewed for this blog a broadcast of every major league baseball team as well as ESPN, TBS and Fox. Generally, I was (and continue to be) disdainful of the “new-school” announcers who are too busy being clever and cracking one-liners instead of concentrating [...]
‘Apprentice’ features crazy gays and Rodman
If you were going to tune into one ‘Celebrity Apprentice‘ episode this season, last night was it. The star of the show: Former NBA great Dennis Rodman and his vodka-cranberries. It was kind of sad. “The Worm” was dubbed project manager and the two teams had to manage four hotel rooms each. Both teams had [...]
TV: Sports bar patrons confront gay couple
Note: We have added a full-length video of the segment after the jump.
“What Would You Do?“, ABC’s show about real-life ethical dilemmas, features an affectionate gay couple in a New Jersey sports bar and the reactions of patrons. The show, which airs Wednesday, at 10 p.m. EDT, is fairly affirming in the reactions of both [...]
‘Apprentice’ has gay, sports hooks
If you’re an Apprentice fan, you know that this season is a treasure trove of sports hasbeens stars. Not only is one of the great running backs of all time, Herschel Walker, a part of the show, but Dennis Rodman is also on board. Scott Hamilton is also on the show, but he seems out [...]
Please fire Jeff Van Gundy again
Jeff Van Gundy, please shut up.
The former NBA coach and current ESPN and ABC analyst has ruined a perfectly good Sunday of hard-hitting basketball. All I wanted to do during this snowstorm in Atlanta (that’s right, snowstorm in Atlanta!) was relax, stay warm and watch a trifecta of pro basketball.
