When Jay Cutler found out the Broncos were surreptiously trying to send him to Detroit in a trade to get 2009’s version of Scott Mitchell, I’m sure he didn’t think he was going to end up calling Soldier Field home. But that is, shockingly, what has happened. Jay has whined his way out of Denver […]

Students protest against Rene Portland A documentary that looks at the homophobic athmosphere in Penn State women's basketball during the 27-year tenure of Coach Rene Portland will be screened this Saturday in Philadelphia. The film, "Training Rules," will show at 7 p.m. at the Ritz East Theater as part of Philadelphia Film Festival – CineFest […]

The 2009 World Outgames kick off with the Opening Ceremony in Copenhagen on Saturday, July 25. As the clock ticks down on training for the anticipated 8,000 sporting participants, writer Ross Forman will be profiling Outgames athletes over the next six months in a new continuing series: The Outgames Athletes. Barry Eisenberg, Running Sonya Jaquez […]

In covering the gay sports leagues in Atlanta, some days are more boottie-licious than others. Mix some rugby jocks with white shorts, a little rain and a lot of mud and, well, you’ve got a recipe for a fun afternoon. That’s what happened last Saturday when the Atlanta Bucks Rugby Football Club took on their […]

On Sunday night the 2009 Major League Baseball season officially begins, in the ballpark where the 2008 season ended. But I’ll discuss the defending World Series Champions later. For now, let’s look at the American League. I make no promises about the quality or accuracy of these predictions. AL EAST 1. Tampa Bay Rays: I […]

It took me a couple days to see the video from the Ryan Moats incident with police officer Robert Powell. In case you didn't see it, Moats and his wife went to see his dying mother-in-law at the hospital, ran a red light (he says safely), and Moats was detained in the hospital parking lot […]

My reasons the NHL Playoffs will be a BLAST: Ovechkin- My opinion the most exciting player in hockey. When he brings it, (which is almost always) oh it's a sight to see. The Boston Bruins- They have dominated their division (leading by twenty points) Tim Thomas has put on a clinic in goal this season […]

Thanks to a reader for this awesome shot of these three swimmers looking very acrobatic. Photo after the jump. And they are not wearing those hideous full-body suits.

Nikki Allen was making her debut on live television and was on Panama City, Florida's WMBB morning show explaining what was going on in the beach volleyball community. Then… kaboom. So that's got to suck. Fainting on live TV and having your friend just gawk at you on the ground while the reporters desperately scramble […]

Imagine for a moment that you're a professional athlete. (If any of you reading this happen to be a pro athlete, this will be easier for you because you won't have to imagine. Also, feel free to call me anytime. Just to chat.) As one of the best of the best, the cream of the […]

All the Tiger haters have plenty to moan about today, as he came back from 5 shots down on the final day at Bay Hill to win in only his third tournament since returning from knee surgery nine months ago. Get ready to hear lots about it leading up to the Masters next weekend, because […]

Romain Mesnil, a French pole vaulter, has instantly won me over with his stunt to try and attract new sponsors after he was dropped by Nike: He posted a video of himself running nude through Paris (video below). The musclebound 31-year-old is seen loping through the streets with his pole as if preparing for a […]

If you were going to tune into one ‘Celebrity Apprentice‘ episode this season, last night was it. The star of the show: Former NBA great Dennis Rodman and his vodka-cranberries. It was kind of sad. “The Worm” was dubbed project manager and the two teams had to manage four hotel rooms each. Both teams had […]

It’s almost April and it’s almost baseball season again! There’s something great about getting out to the ballpark on a nice spring or summer day and seeing two teams battling each other, having a cold beer (or soda if you’re under 21), and having some overpriced food to go along with it. But no one […]

I forgot to mention this when I wrote about my day at the first round of the NCAA Tournament held at the Wachovia Center but was reminded of it during the telecast of Villanova's Elite Eight victory over Pittsburgh last night at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston. The announcers mentioned that all of the […]

Pele, left, and Cristiano Ronaldo There is a real soccer catfight going down in South America between two soccer legends, Pele of Brazil and Maradona of Argentina. Pele, 68, recently claimed (and later backtracked) that two Brazilian stars, Ronaldo and Robinho, used drugs and that Maradona, 48, Argentina's coach, is a bad role model because […]

It was just last week that we joined the new call for a gay sports bar in Los Angeles. Well believe it or not, our calls may soon be answered. We heard from a pretty reliable source that a gay sports bar is headed to a very gay neighborhood in the L.A. area, and it […]

It’s not often we can write about the Pittsburgh Pirates, because, well quite frankly writing about how poorly managed a once proud franchise is, can be grating. So it’s always fun when get to a juicy story involving one of the players of a down-trodden franchise. Especially when you hear about said player being in […]

Thanks to Athletic Business for pointing us to an article out of Greensboro News & Record about the preponderance of lesbians at women’s college basketball games. The writer had been to the nearby ACC tournament earlier this month and wondered why college basketball teams and leagues aren’t marketing directly to this market that seems to […]
