The latest Out 100 has been released, and the glaring omission this year (there’s always at least one) is the complete lack of sports figures in the list. The most glaring of all those possible names is Brian Sims, who came out on Outsports earlier this year and who has since become a valuable advocate, […]

By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.comHow I saw Week 10 in the NFL: With 4:13 left in the fourth quarter, the Indianapolis Colts trailed the New England Patriots, 34-21, and I was all prepared […]

Water polo is a terrific sport to watch and I became a big fan after covering an international meet in 2004. Being in Southern California, there are always quality matches going on. Recently, Brent shot No. 4 UCLA’s 10-5 win over No. 6 Loyola Marymount. A gallery below: Water polo is a terrific sport to […]

The NBC sit-com Community had a fun throw-away line last night that caught our attention. The show is about the faculty, staff and students of Greendale Community College. Dean Pelton, who’s proud of helping change the school’s mascot from the “Grizzlies” to the “Human Beings” had this observation about the athletic department: The best compliment […]

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek will be the first, and last, NFL player to get away with hawking a rum company. The league has outlawed doing what is known as the “Captain Morgan pose,” named after the pose struck by the cartoon pirate of Captain Morgan rum. In hopes of raising brand awareness, Captain […]

With all the Me! Me! Me! athletes in pro sports looking for attention, it’s so refreshing to see an NFL player quietly focused on humanitarian work. While other guys were going to college football games and hanging out with their family, Madieu Williams of the Minnesota Vikings did this on his bye week: He traveled […]

Wow, what a great trade the Chicago Bears made in getting quarterback Jay Cutler. He was going to be the missing piece that would finally give Chicago a big-league quarterback. The Bears and their fans must be having buyers' remorse after Cutler's latest flameout — five interceptions in a 10-6 loss at San Francisco; the […]

A sad story out of Germany — Robert Enke, a goalie for Hanover and likely to be the national team’s goalie in the 2010 World Cup, was killed when he threw himself in front of a passing train. He was 32. His wife said that Enke suffered from depression. He left a suicide note in […]

Larry Johnson The Washington Post's NFL blog, The League, has a panel discussion up as to whether ex-Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson (he of the "faggot" slurs) can hook up with another team. I was invited to share my views and we all pretty much agree on this: If teams think LJ can […]

This past weekend at Santa Anita, when Zenyatta looked for the "impossible" win, most of my local LGBT horse-fan friends were in that crowd, screaming their heads off for this popular favorite. And the ones I know who couldn't make it to the track were glued to their TVs. Everything went wrong for Zenyatta in […]

Last night I was treated to suffered through an NBA game between the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Clippers. It was game number eight of their 82-game schedule. The Timberwolves, Warriors and Grizzlies should be ashamed of themselves for losing to this Clippers team. A couple friends I was with, who don’t watch […]

As Marat Safin winds down his pro tennis-playing days, he’s lobbed a little grenade at Andre Agassi saying the tennis legend should return his 60 ATP titles and all the money he made, including his eight Grand Slam titles and Career Grand Slam. If he is as fair play as he says he is, he […]

Looks like Larry Johnson won’t be getting paid this week afterall: The Kansas City Chiefs cut the disappointing running back. Johnson started a firestorm last week when he used the words “fag” and “faggot” directed at the press and fans. But make no mistake: His release isn’t because of that. No team would release a […]

Univ. of New Mexico soccer player Elizabeth Lambert has become the posterchild for mean-spirited, unsportsmanlike conduct following a series of onfield incidents aginst BYU in which she pulled opponents’ hair, kicked them and tackled them (video after the jump). All with video cameras watching. Not smart. She’s been suspended; No “soccer flop” was needed here. […]

In the Bay Area for the weekend, I decided to head to my alma mater Stanford for the big game against Oregon. And what a game. Stanford held on for the big upset of the top-10 Ducks, 51-42. But there were some interesting notes after the game. It was my first time "storming the field" […]
