Colts, Saints stay unbeaten at 8-0, but no team is dominant. The Bengals and Bucs show that orange rules, Andy Reid is a bonehead, hot player of the week and the Giants continue to fall apart. By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.com How I saw Week 9 of the NFL: We have reached the halfway point of the […]

WWE star Chris Jericho is in some hot water after using some foolish language about Muslims and gays. Of course, he tossed around “fag.” Is this a growing trend? What’s discouraging is that he acknowledges that cameras are there and even jokes about the TMZ headline he’ll make. He’s proud of it. His comment after […]

Chances are this is the first time you’ve heard of Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. But it won’t be the last. The 6-foot-4, 235 pound redshirt freshman has it all: Good arm, great vision, leadership, and handsome good looks. From Houston, Luck was ranked as high as the No. 4 quarterback coming out of high school […]

The NFL wanted the Kansas City Chiefs to go much easier than the team did after Johnson used three anti-gay slurs two weeks ago. The Chiefs suspended Johnson for two weeks and one paycheck that totals $330,000. But the NFL suggested the Chiefs not suspend Johnson and fine him only $10,000, reports Nancy Gay of […]

It seems everyone on ESPN has been celebrating Manu Ginobli’s killing of a bat during his game earlier this week. If you haven’t seen it, he swatted a flying bat out of the air (video after the jump). But every time I see it I can't help but get angry. I understand humans think they […]

I always find it humbling to see a story like this that puts life into perspective. No matter how bad my day is, no matter what goes wrong, no matter how much back pain I have, my life isn’t nearly the struggle that this kid’s life is. Brenden Adams seems like such a nice kid, […]

Soon to be one of the classic sports rants of all time. My favorite: "Do you believe in miracles?" Enjoy… Hat tip to Kelvin. Soon to be one of the classic sports rants of all time. My favorite: "Do you believe in miracles?" Enjoy… Hat tip to Kelvin.

I had no idea what the term “pause” meant, other than when I pressed the little button on my ipod. But thanks to a college student who emailed us this week, I now know it means “No Homo.” It doesn’t get me riled up, but it’s still interesting. The student had written us because he’s […]

It was the end of the road for Michael Irvin’s Dancing With The Stars run Tuesday night. He was never the best dancer, but he was one of the fan favorites from the first night. Unfortunately, this was his best week of dancing (video after the jump). To get kicked off the show after his […]

Think the Washington Redskins are getting hammered for their coaching and playing? Well owner Daniel Snyder is taking it on the chin from fans and the DC media…for allegedly trying to suppress anger at his coaches and players! Snyder’s heavyhanded attempt at message killing, Douchewellian as it was, worked in the short term: The censorship […]

Yesterday’s USA Today featured a column from hockey columnist Justin Bourne titled, “It’s time to end the use of gay slurs in hockey.” It’s a nice sentiment, but it feels like a blip on the radar the day after an entire state smacked us down. There hasn’t been progress on this issue for years. When […]

I don’t have much to say about the New York Yankees winning the World Series in six games over the Philadelphia Phillies since I watched almost none of it. But I did find an interesting coincidence — the Yankees only win when there is a Democrat in the White House. Since winning the 1958 World […]

A weekend at Appalachian State finds a tolerant and vibrant atmosphere and a winning football team. After a three-year absence, the Outsports Tailgate Tour is back! The economy has limited what we can do this year tailgate-wise but even a lite-Tour is better than nothing. First stop, Boone, NC, home of the Appalachian State Mountaineers. […]

Polish soccer goalie Arek Onyszko gets my vote for Sports Idiot of the Year. He was released by his previous club in Denmark after spending time in jail for assaulting his ex-wife. He got a second chance from FC Midtjylland, another Danish club, which warned him to not continue writing a book he was working […]

The Winter Olympics are just a couple months away, and we’re already seeing various groups using the up-and-coming faces of the Olympics in commercials. Three speedskaters grabbed my attention this past weekend. First up was Chad Hedrick (right), who caught our eyes in 2006. Great smile, great hair. In Torino he won a gold, silver […]

Some of you may have noticed anti-gay ads showing up on our blog in the last couple weeks. It seems the anti-gay-marriage folks in Maine bought network-wide ads with one of our affiliates. I’ve mostly heard from people in Maine that they’ve been seeing the ad. We don’t have a lot of control over it, […]

A Los Angeles Clippers fan is accusing Maverick Drew Gooden of calling him a “faggot” after the two teams clashed at the Staples Center on Halloween. Mavs owner Mark Cuban say he’s going to handle the issue privately. Really? Cuban has the reputation of taking everything public…and he’s going to keep this one private? What […]

Favre beats Pack in Lambeau showdown; Giants continue to suck; Colts survive and a history-making day for two running backs. By Jim BuzinskiOutsports.com How I saw Week 8 of the NFL: I tried to resist writing about Brett Favre's return to Green Bay (a 38-26 Vikings win if you missed it), but it was the […]

Deadspin has a gallery up of Halloween costumes sent in by readers. One caught my eye and is very specific as to what part of Tim Tebow this guy hearts (sort of not safe for work): Deadspin has a gallery up of Halloween costumes sent in by readers. One caught my eye and is very […]

Former Stade Francais coach Ewen McKenzie isn’t happy about being let go, and he’s taking it to the team management. Specifically, McKenzie says club president Max Guazzini focuses his recruiting efforts not on athleticism but on good looks. He has a marketing outlook which is not always in the best interests of sport. For example, […]
