When NASCAR officials handed down a three-race probation to Carl Edwards for intentionally wrecking Brad Keselowski during the Kobalt 500, they sent a clear message that NASCAR’s new hands-off policy is in full force, and drivers must take care of their own squabbles on the track. With their limited penalty, NASCAR has unintentionally invoked a new [...]

My Original desire for this post was to rant about how bad of an idea it would be for the Cardinals to let go of Anquan Boldin, but it seems that ship has sailed. In Boldin and Fitzgerald, you’ve got two monster receivers that are capable of pulling in anything launched within three feet of them. [...]

This past week the Catholic Church, and indeed the heart and soul of it, the Vatican, was rocked by news of a member of the Vatican choir who is alleged to have arranged gay sexual liaisons, or pimping in the vulgar and more accurate description, for an Italian government official who is also a papal [...]

OutSports has an article via Outlook Columbus about Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel who talks about the importance of every player including gay and lesbian athletes. ” …. every part of our team is important and every role has value – no job is too small and no person is irrelevant – that’s a [...]

I’m getting an uneasy feeling about the latest allegations of sexual assault against Steeler’s quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. As my momma used to say, once is a coincidence, twice is a trend. What’s known right now is that police in Milledgeville, GA are investigating a complaint from a female college student, who claims Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her. [...]

The Ohio State Buckeye head football coach became the first FBS coach to ever grant an interview to a member of the GLBT press. Kudos to Tressel, who’s labeled a conservative, both on and off the field, for being open minded enough to give a shout out to us gays! You can catch the entire Tressel [...]

For a multitude of reasons, including but not limited to his faith, his style of play, his skills, his good looks, his accomplishments, etc…, you either like or dislike Tim Tebow ; very few people are indifferent on the subject. I can’t recall an athlete who generated as much emotion in people as he does. So as the [...]

The EDGE has an article about Laura Ricketts the lesbian activist who now owns the Chicago Cubs. A lesbian activist has acquired the Chicago Cubs–and she says that anti-gay prejudice is the last thing she’s encountered. Rather, she’s had to deal with mundane issues like the state of the facilities: real-world problems, rather than biases emanating from [...]

In sports, an individuals’ greatness is measured by their ability to capture championships. Who finishes second or scores the most points are feats that pale in comparison to achieving the ultimate prize. Great Rivalries Make Greatness In the 70′s, Terry Bradshaw and Roger Staubach quarterbacked the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys respectively, and these two teams [...]

You can tell a lot about a sport just by following the money, and it’s no surprise to even the most casual of sports fans that the Yankees dominate baseball like no other team in any other sport. I don’t know about you but I consider myself a Yankees admirer, not a fan, but an admirer. What [...]

Last evening after coming in from work, my job at age 56 where I’m beginning a new career this time in retail at the bottom of the management ladder, I turned on my local ABC affiliate here in Connecticut, WTNH-TV to see the weather forecast for the next storm due to hit our state. At the [...]

It was August 13, 1989 when NASCAR driver Tim Richmond died. For weeks and even months there had been all kind of rumors and speculation about Richmond being sick and what that sickness was. Many said no, no way, when the disease was mentioned. That just didn’t happen in NASCAR circles. In 1987 he missed the [...]

In 1980 long before there was SAT radio services and computers, for two weeks in February as the sports director and reporter of two of our local radio stations here in Danbury, Ct, WLAD & WDAQ, I like millions of others watched the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY. For me it was about half a [...]

I’m sure there were many who had no idea there were such things as gay rodeo or gay RV’ing. Well here’s another eye opener for you. Yes Virginia there is a website for gay and bi NASCAR fans. Gaytona.Com is both a hoot and takes a serious look at NASCAR, often with on scene reporting [...]

The whirlwind of activity from the NBA’s trading deadline left us with tired head; but with 24 hours of relative calm, we’ve been able to reflect upon the moves and declare the winners and losers, and identify those clubs who positioned themselves as major players in the 2010 free-agent market. Trade Deadlines Losers Eastern Conference – Atlanta Hawks, [...]

A quick disclaimer here, I’m not a huge figure skating fan but I gotta call out bullshit when I hear it. In an interview with Frank Deford of HBO’s Real Sports, Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir claims just because he’s a figure skater who’s effeminate and likes sparkly things he’s “no less macho than men who [...]

The countdown to The Great American Race, otherwise known as the Daytona 500, is winding down. Daytona International Speedway’s 2.5 mile trioval is to NASCAR what old Yankee Stadium was to baseball, and at the end of the NASCAR season there are two things you remember; who won the Sprint Cup and who won the Daytona [...]
