I’ve been disappointed in a lot of things in my life, there was Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the guy with the big feet…well you get the point. But never had I experienced what was close to outright sports depression as when I saw Colt McCoy get knocked out of the BCS title game. To say [...]

Hot, muscular, college football jocks going at it for three and a half hours tonight, whew! What else could a gay sports fan ask for? Well maybe nude football — quick someone call Bravo, I just got an idea for a new show. OK, back to sports for a minute. Get ready for a close, hard [...]

The extent to which the Dallas Cowboys recovered from a disappointing 2008 season is nothing short of remarkable. The difference between 2008 and 2009 is simple, the Cowboys shed Terrell Owens, Tank Johnson, Adam ‘PacMan’ Jones and Jessica Simpson. It may sound like a simplified version of events but with Tony Romo and Wade Phillips able [...]
