Jenny Fulle: Pioneer blazed a trail in Little League By Kaki Flynn For Outsports.com I love this story, because it is, at its heart, about kid courage. The kind where a kid finds herself surrounded by adults that keep telling her no, no, no, and she just keeps pounding patiently on doors until finally she […]

I had the Weather Channel on for a minute and caught this weekend’s forecast for the NFL playoff games from a weather person: “On up into Indianapolis, we got the Colts and the Chargers playing and it looks like we could have some precipitation in the form of snow showers.” The Colts play in a […]

LSU beat The [Lame] Ohio State University, 38-24, to win a crystal football trophy and the right to claim they won the Bowl Championship Series. Whoopee! Fans of the Tigers can brag that they’re No. 1, but many college football fans elsewhere will disagree. In this weird college football season there was no standout team […]

By Dan Woog "We come from old VirginiaWhere all is bright and gay.Let's all join hands and give a yellFor dear old UVA!" As a college fight song, that's not exactly "Hail to the Victors." It's even less impressive because it's sung to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." But "The Good Ol' Song" is […]

Being out is pushing Scott Jordan to success By Scott JordanSpecial to Outsports It was one of my first conversations with a teammate on the swim team after I’d decided to come out to them last summer. I was home in Connecticut talking with him on the phone about the upcoming season when talk turned, […]

In Sunday night’s GMAC Bowl, the last bowl game before the BCS Championship, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane was poised to make history. Tulsa had a chance become the first team in NCAA history to have a 5,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and three 1,000-yard receivers. Paul Smith needed to throw for 247 yards and Charles Clay […]

Watching Roger Clemens on 60 Minutes made me even more convinced that the guy did something shady. Mike Wallace did a great job of grilling Clemens, and the Cy Young winner looked like he was sweating bullets throughout, drinking from his water bottle over and over and at times avoiding Wallace’s eye contact or fidgeting […]

Eli looks sharp, Young does not. Voter who didn't vote for Brady should be disbarred How Cyd saw the weekE-mail Cyd I sincerely hope the Associate Press takes the League MVP voting rights away from the lone person who voted for Brett Favre over Tom Brady as the 2007 MVP. A legitimate argument could have […]

Outsports Story of the Year: John Amaechi comes outThe coming out of former NBA player John Amaechi was the landslide winner of Outsports’ 2007 Story of […]

Some basic deficiencies in simple math cost the Pittsburgh Steelers big time in their 31-29 playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That and a lack of guts late. The math issue came with 10:25 to go and the Steelers trailing 28-23 after scoring a touchdown. Going for two points would bring the Steelers to within […]

After an inquiry by New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo, Ticketmaster and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quickly lifted their ban on selling tickets to non-Florida residents, allowing Giants fans to buy tickets to Sunday’s playoff game in Tampa. When I checked Ticketmaster earlier this evening, tickets were still available for the game, as were tickets […]

When the Boston Celtics and the L.A. Lakers took the court for one of the first really meaningful games between the two since the 1980s, the Lakers looked the part, donning short shorts that harkened back to the high-on-the-leg shorts work by NBA players in the NBA’s heyday. The fans, by several accounts enjoyed it. […]

– For the couple who never wants to be separated by more than six to eight inches comes the snowboard built for two. “On steeper hills you’re definitely looking for some drag,” the board’s creator said. – With Justin Gatlin’s 4-year ban in the news, several pubs are revisiting Gatlin’s claim that a masseur rubbed […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed model/Olympic skier/wide receiver/return specialist Jeremy Bloom to their practice squad. After being cut by the Eagles at the end of training camp, Bloom's been out of the NFL all year. The gay men who drool at the mere mention of Bloom can only hope he hasn't been sitting around scarfing […]

With visions of Boise State's thrilling win over Oklahoma in last year's Fiesta Bowl dancing in their heads, more than a fair share of the college football fans tuned into last night's Sugar Bowl may have been hoping that another WAC team, undefeated Hawaii, could pull off a similar victory. Georgia had other ideas, though, […]

Tickets went on sale to the general public on December 22nd for a Tampa Bay Buccaneers' home playoff game. The game against the New York Giants is now four days away, and the game is still not sold out. Apparently some corporation or sponsor will have to buy up the remainder or the game will […]

I never would have thought that I would spend the early part of New Year’s Day watching a hockey game instead of college football. But that’s how riveting the Winter Classic was in Buffalo, where the Sabres hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins outdoors before 73,000 in the snow and cold. The Penguins won, 2-1, in an […]

Happy New Year, everybody! Unlike other sports, not much auto-racing happens during the holidays, so yesterday the Speed Channel livened things up with a re-run of the World of Outlaws World Finals. I was glued to it because I missed it the first time! WOO roared into history at the dirt track belonging to Lowe’s […]
