Charles Barkley has never pulled any punches on or off the court and that is true when it comes to discussing politics (or kissing ref Dick Bavetta, right).

One more reason pro jocks overseas are less inhibited than their U.S. counterparts. Mark at DNA magazine in Australia sent us these four images of Youngquest, a pro player in Australian professional rugby league (now moving to play in France).

The University of Washington football team is winless and one of the nation’s worst. A bright spot, though, in the Huskies loss Saturday to Notre Dame was the appearance of members of the men’s swim team on the sideline at a chilly Husky Stadium.

Pitcher Barry Zito has been mediocre since coming to the San Francisco Giants two years ago via free agency (a 21-30 record with an ERA of around 5), but he can supplement his $126 million contract with a new gig as a jeans model.

Nude photos, apparently of French swimmer Frederick Bousquet, have surfaced on the Internet, causing a bit of a scandal.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday retired the jersery of fullback Mike Alstott, one of the franchise’s most popular players and a longtime fave of Outsports fans. Over the years, we have gotten numerous requests for shirtless shots of Alstott, though, alas, none have ever surfaced. One amusing thing about the retirement ceremony — the […]

Dumb plays abound; the Cowboys collapse; icing doesn't work; how West Coast teams are screwed How Cyd and Jim saw Week 7. E-mail Cyd News Flash: Cowboys just aren’t that good. I think Jim and I were just about the only ones who didn’t buy the preseason or early-season hype surrounding the Dallas Cowboys. Why? […]

Moving to a new team has fueled the sale of Brett Favre New York Jets jerseys, making them the top seller, according to the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys have four of the top 10 most popular jerseys, according to Darren Rovell at CNBC. And Eli Manning (No. 3) is besting brother Peyton (No. 7). The […]

This is a first: KSL, a local Salt Lake City TV station aired a report on this past weekend's Gay Bowl (won by Cyd's New York Warriors; my L.A. team finished third). The report says all the players are gay, which is not true, but it was nice to see some coverage in the mainstream […]
