While most NFL fans (and many non-fans) are rolling their eyes at Brett Favre’s second return from retirement, it’s the Packers and Favre fans who are hurting the most. Last night on Greta van Sustern’s show (she’s a huge Packers fan), she adorned a new kind of Cheesehead: Half-purple, half-yellow. I talked to a Packer [...]

Stunner: Tiger Woods loses major after lead
Tiger Woods lost the PGA Championship Sunday to Korean golfer Y.E. Yang, someone so obscure that when I first read the news on my cellphone my mind read it as “P.F. Chang.”
How improbable was Yang’s win? Woods had been 14-0 in majors after leading after three rounds. He had won his last 36 tournaments after [...]
Golf, rugby closer to becoming Olympic sports

Phillies Gay Night another success
The Philadelphia Phillies’ Gay Community Night notched another great success in its seventh year as Outsports member Larry Felzer’s event drew in an estimated 850 spectators to watch the home team play the Colorado Rockies. One of the local sports columnists said it was “refreshing that the Phillies held a public event reminding everyone that athletics [...]
Tuaolo, WAC commish weigh in on ‘fag bomb’
ESPN’s Outside the Lines did a good job of tackling the issues surrounding gay epithets today in a conversation with (among others) out former NFL player Esera Tuaolo and WAC Athletic Commissioner Karl Benson. The latter dropped a little bomb of his own, saying that if Hawaii coach Greg McMackin had uttered the word “faggot” [...]
When the Girls Beat the Boys
For you horse-lovers among Outsports fans — if you missed Rachel Alexandra’s hair-raising performance in the $1.25 million Haskell Invitational on Sunday, you can catch it on YouTube. This was the filly’s second go against top colts, and she left the boyz struggling in the slop as she barreled to a 6-length victory. Some [...]
Weekend hot jock: Walter Dix
For U.S. Independence Day, we’re going with an athlete who has literally wrapped himself with the flag: Sprinter Walter Dix. At the Beijing Olympics, Dix was the standout American sprinter taking bronze in the 100m and 200m and then doing laps with Old Glory. The former Florida State sprinter has eight individual NCAA sprinting titles. [...]
Roddick shocks Murray, to meet Federer in final
Andy Roddick still has some surprises left – just ask Andy Murray.
The former top baller pulled the biggest upset of the tourney taking out the third seed and second fave for the title 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (9), 7-6 (5) avenging his third round defeat to the Brit in 2006. And even though Muzz cracked more [...]
Gay polo up!
May 3 was the Will Rogers Polo Club’s “Club Chukkers” day…and one of the clubs invited to play was the Gay Polo League. It was your typical relaxed Southern California polo-match scene. Several horse pullmans were parked in the shade. Dozens of loaner polo ponies stood around quietly, tacked up and tails knotted. Beside the [...]

Weekend Hot Jock: Kyle Korver
The cutest face in the NBA has to belong to Kyle Korver. The Utah Jazz forward is often compared to actor and model Ashton Kutcher, though Korver doesn’t much care for the comparison; He doesn’t see the comparison (Korver says he’s much taller than Kutcher). Don’t you feel sorry for him, being compared to Kutcher? [...]
Anti-gay Jazz owner has legs amputated
Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller came into the conscience of many gay people when he pulled Brokeback Mountain from the movie theaters he owned. Now comes news that Miller has had both of his legs amputated 6 inches below the knee due to complications related to diabetes. Many have wondered what he may have said [...]
Cyd’s Sexy Spreads: The Super Bowl
Note: Every week, I pick games against the spread on the Michael Irvin Show on ESPN Radio, and I’m putting them on our blog.
It’s been a while since a Super Bowl featured two teams of such contrasting styles. Not even Colts-Bears fits the bill; I’d say you have to go back to the Rams-Patriots to [...]
