Brian Healey This is cool — players from the men's and women's basketball teams, men's hockey team and tennis team have combined to produce an It Gets Better video for St. Michael's College in Vermont. One of the editors of the video is Brian Healey, captain of the Purple Knights men's tennis team, who says […]

I am trying to resist the urge to write again on Tim Tebow, even though he is the most compelling story in sports. We know he really, really believes in God and wastes no opportunity, again, to remind us. But even I never thought he really believed God took sides in a football game, until […]

A group of Air Force Academy cadets decided to do a “spirit” video for their football game this year against Army. The cadets stripped and posed while lip-synching “I’m Sexy and I Know It,” that featured such lyrics as “I got action in my pants and I ain’t afraid to show it.” Suffice it to […]

Former pro wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan is suing his ex-wife for defamation after she said he cheated on her with fellow wrestler Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake and was violent and abusive (Brutus is filing his own suit). It sounds like a nasty marital spat but what struck me was Hogan’s defense: “If any of that […]

The Broncos win again in bizarre fashion; the Cowboys lose again bizarre fashion; Packers closing in on perfection; four wild endings; hot player of the week. How I saw Week 14 of the NFL: This is getting ridiculous – now the opposing team has bought into Tebowmania. How else to explain Denver's 13-10 overtime win […]

The NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement adds sexual orientation protection to its non-discrimination, the league has said. According to Michael Bass, NBA Senior Vice President, Marketing Communications: Non-discrimination language was added into the agreement that protects players from discrimination, including based on sexual orientation. The NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement adds sexual orientation protection to […]

I have resisted writing again on Tim Tebow, but then along comes Miami Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby, uttering some stupid comments. Dansby’s Dolphins lost to Tebow in the Denver quarterback’s first start and he says divine intervention was the reason. As he told Jim Rome: “I think us losing to Tim Tebow the way we […]

We have been writing for two years about NFL linebacker Scott Fujita and his strong stand for gay rights. His views first became known when he was a member of the 2009 New Orleans Saints, who won the Super Bowl. Now with the Cleveland Browns — and on injured reserve –Fujita has continued his advocacy. […]

LSU defensive star and Heisman Trophy finalist Tyrann “Honey Badger” Mathieu is learning not to get into a spat with ex-girlfriends/hookups. Spurned these days means sending out penis pictures of the offender on the Internet. Media Takeout has the pics, which are allegedly of Mathieu's private parts. Since the photos are headless, they could be […]

There is a full-on kiss between two soccer players on the pitch, but this one takes place in the popular soccer video game “FIFA 12.” From Kotaku: Some might call this a fluke, a twist of fate—a coincidence. Striker Andy Carroll makes his way down the pitch, tries to score a goal and ends up […]

Von Wafer, a career journeyman in the NBA who played with the Boston Celtics last year and currently plays in Italy, says he’s not gay and blames a hacker on Twitter for sending out a tweet that says he was. Wafer wrote this on Twitter after his agent said his account was hacked: i cant […]

Major college football is the most unsatisfying of our sports, the only one where computers and voters determine who gets to play for the “national title.” This is how Nos. 2 and 3 finished in the BCS rankings this year: Alabama, 9419, Oklahoma State .9333, the closest ever between two and three. And thus, because […]

Hot player of the week How I saw Week 13 of the NFL: How bout dem Cowboys? Leave it to the Cowboys to lose a game like no one else ever has, by icing their own kicker. It was both lovely and bizarre to watch and was the most important result on Sunday. Dallas kicker […]

Now that the swimming federation FINA has banned full-body swimsuits as the equivalent of fashion doping, Speedo has unveiled its newest suit that promises faster times. And, as a bonus, will show us more of the swimmer’s body. The Fastskin3 suit, unveiled today in London, site of the 2012 Olympics, combines a suit, a cap […]

Editor’s note: A month ago, we ran the first-person coming out story by high school volleyball player Galen Dodd. His father, Ian, wrote us a week later and then gave us permission to reprint his letter. We seldom hear from parents about how their child’s coming out affected them and thought Ian Dodd’s letter would […]

Steve Kornacki is a political reporter who has written for several publications and is now with Salon. I have seen him on TV many times and always been impressed by his knowledge and insight. And he also pinged my gaydar. Kornacki has now come out in a terrific column on Salon. I just didn’t fit […]

Steve Weatherford in Men’s Fitness Men's Fitness has a spread this month on an NFL player with 5% body fat, who's the strongest guy on the team pound for pound. That player is a punter, of all people, Steve Weatherford of the New York Giants. “His physique is just ridiculous,” said a fellow punter. “He […]

Hot player of the week Tebow is making the Broncos relevant; Peyton Manning just one of several key QBs out; Suh needs to sit; an idiot wide receiver; here come the Cowboys, hot player of the week. How I saw Week 12 of the NFL: Lord knows we've dumped on Tim Tebow a lot lately, […]

When you gotta go, you gotta go. We’ve all been there, when you just have the urge. But none of us urinate live during an NFL game on national TV. But San Diego Chargers kicker Nick Novak couldn’t wait to use the restroom, not with the game tied late against Denver. So, with a teammate […]

New York Post columnist Lenn Robbins has a great column slamming St. John’s Univesity college basketball fans for their use of gay slurs during last weekend’s game against the University of Arizona. I didn’t find anything clever about the St. John’s fans in the student section that were chanting “U of Gay” as a mocking […]
