New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hates the New York Jets and refuses to watch them on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” series. That’s fine with Jets coach Rex Ryan, who doesn’t like Brady and hate the Patriots. But Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez says of Brady, “I love you Tom.” It's all part of an NFL rivalry […]

With college football starting this week, the Wall Street Journal looks at what it terms “college beefcake photos,” which have become more widespread thanks to the Internet (see gallery below).

Billy Van Raaphorst, the openly gay umpire who was the subject of a homophobic tirade by a manager who has since lost his job, spoke in Edmonton last weekend.

There is a terrific feature from Chicago Tribune writer Brian Hamilton today about new Notre Dame quarterback Dayne Crist. The guy gets involved in a lot of causes and is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. Ending homophobia appears to be one of those causes. On a July afternoon, Crist, a […]

Columnist Mark McGuire of the Albany Times-Union paper in upstate New York posits that having an openly pro gay male athlete will happen sooner than most people think.

Bama QB Greg McElroy No surprise, but defending BCS champ Alabama is the overwhelming favorite to repeat as No. 1 in college football, if the preseason AP poll is accurate. The Tide garnered 54 of the 59 first-place votes. Rounding out the Top 5 are Ohio State, Boise State, Florida and Texas. It's Boise State […]

The headline is 100% accurate. On Twitpic, Chad Ochocinco of the Cincinnati Bengals is posing with a towel that looks like … well, just see the picture below.
