Jimbo Tartt of the University of Florida seems to have skipped his Global Economics class. The Sporting News’ Spencer Hall was looking at (what is allegedly) the Gators lineman’s Facebook page and found he recently joined a group called “Africa gives nothing to anyone — except AIDS”. (Screenshot can be seen here.) Got to expect […]

Based on this item from the Sydney Morning Herald, gold medalist and totally out Matthew Mitcham gave a brief yet killer acceptance speech when he won Australia’s Sports Performer of the Year Award late last month. You see, before Mitcham, some winners in other categories had given a fair impression of Gwyneth Paltrow's infamous Oscars […]

After ex-Cowboys Emmitt Smith and Keyshawn Johnson were critical on ESPN of the present-day Cowboys, Terrell Owens take a swipe back. And what a pointed, witty, smart swipe it was. From the Dallas Morning News: “Those two need their own show – Dumb and Dumber,” said T.O., who was otherwise jolly while sporting a Cowboys-customized […]

Ever since Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe was shown naked in the locker room on Fox on Sunday, his assets have gotten a lot of attention on the Internet. Shancoe has been cool with the whole thing, commenting at one point that he was glad he had not just gotten out of the pool. […]

And some people think you have to be a pansy to figure skate. No wonder so many of those guys have buns of steel . . . And some people think you have to be a pansy to figure skate. No wonder so many of those guys have buns of steel . . .

I guess it comes as no surprise that the Dallas Cowboys are on the road to being torn apart by Terrell Owens. After all, he's already left two teams after clashing with the starting quarterback. This time it's Tony Romo who's feeling the Wrath of Terrell, and this time some of the blame — in […]

Yes, I know Lubbock, Texas, isn’t exactly Milan or Manhattan when it comes to fashion. But star Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell should get his clothing tips from somewhere other than the local feed supply store. This is Harrell in a 2008 Christmas card unearthed first on a Texas Longhorn site that quickly found its […]

Now this recession thing is getting serious. The NFL announced it’s cutting staff, joining a recent announcement by the NBA that it’s firing folks, too. When a sour economy starts to impact the sports world, a place we go to escape the travails of the world spinning out of control around us, it’s time for […]

Australian accents, really hot bodies, gay guys and the beach. Um, where can I sign up? Samesame.com.au has launched a new Web series of gay guys learning how to surf. And even if you don't learn to surf from it, there's nearly as much eye candy as the Minnesota Vikings locker room. Plus, each week […]

We have written for years about the rumors surrounding NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia and his declaration that he is not gay. So, I found myself doing a double take when I heard ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser say this about Garcia, the Tampa starter, during Monday’s Panthers-Buccaneer’s game: "Jeff Garcia, who loves to date hot quarterbacks. Tried […]

There are professional soccer players across Italy praying that Victory doesn’t name names. You see, he’s the the latest rent boy to come forward and claim that he beds down pro soccer players in Italy for cash. A lot of cash, actually. About $2,000 a pop, so to speak. "A lot of them are bisexual, […]

If you didn’t see the Army-Navy game this weekend — and judging from the ratings, you didn’t — you missed a friggin’ sweet set of alternate jerseys the Black Knights and Midshipmen wore. Dubbed the “Enforcer” jersey, this marketing ploy/fun idea made an otherwise boring game more entertaining. Navy's uniform is pretty standard 2008 uniform […]

Detroit on pace to go 0-16; Philly steps up; Packers fall down; Cowboys collapse By Cyd Zeigler jr. Trivia question for you. Only one team has beaten three teams that lead their division outright. Who is it? Answer at the end. The Steelers. Every time I’ve watched the Steelers, I have left the game scratching […]

If you were as surprised as I was by the Philadelphia Eagles' run to the NFC East title in 2006, winning their last 5 games with Jeff Garcia at quarterback in place of the injured Donovan McNabb, brace yourselves: an even more shocking sequel may be in store. As wretched as they looked two weeks […]

Damn, wish I hadn’t turned off Fox’s postgame show after the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Detroit Lions. The network accidentally showed tight end Visanthe Shiancoe displaying what he’s got underneath those compression shorts. Shiancoe was inadvertently shown naked on television while a FOX camera crew taped owner Zygi Wilf’s presentation of the game ball to […]

In our latest Podcast, Cyd and I discussed whether athletes wore cups or even needed to. We received this thoughtful response from a listener who provided some terrific information: I enjoyed listening to the podcast about cups and jocks. Who SHOULD wear a cup? As a former EMT who took care of many athletic injuries, […]

Openly gay former pro wrestler Chris Kanyon (right) has become well-known after his career for 1) being gay and 2) for not pulling punches when it comes to talkin about pro wrestling. The latest in Kanyon’s sites: Brock Lesnar, who a couple weeks ago won a big fight on UFC. On Myspace, Kanyon rips into […]
