High School Football: Gayer Than Gay?
This isn't easy to say so we're just going to say it: According to a new survey, one third of former high school football players have had sexual relations with other men. That's according to a new study to be published in the Journal of Sex Roles, which I totally just read by accident, and that's t...

In The '60s, The Wildcats Knew How To Party
Shannon Ragland, a Louisville-based self-published author, has written a new book claiming the a Kentucky-Xavier football game in 1962 was "fixed." Everyone's denying it, of course, but that's not even the best part. According to the book, old Kentucky players would receive blow jobs from dudes for ...
This Post Has Bill Belichick's Total Attention
What sort of mutant, steroid-enhanced high school football are they playing in Kansas? The Smith Center High Redmen scored 72 points in the first quarter of Tuesday's game with Plainview, begging the question, what did the Plainview coach tell his team at halftime? "We're changing the defensive alig...
You Can Be A-Rod, For A Day
We remember, back in 2000, when we were working for one of those dot-com startups that were all the rage at the time. Everybody strolled into the office around 10:30, left at 5 and brought their dogs to the office. And no one did any real work; we all just sat in "brainstorming" meetings, discussing...
Torre's Torture Of Grady Continues
It's starting to inch ever so closer to official that Joe Torre will be the new manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, particularly after Grady Little resigned from the job yesterday, claiming those famous "personal reasons." Thus continues Torre's perpetual torment of poor Grady....
Penn State Fans Aren't Particularly Sportsmanlike
Generally speaking, we enjoy a good harmless scrum among rival fans, but ... this would seem to cross the line considerably. How far past the line? A Michigan blog is appalled by this. And why wouldn't he be? Any normal human would be....
So, Where's A-Rod Gonna End Up, Anyway?
So, now that A-Rod has opted out of his contract, we suppose we have to start speculating about where he's going to sign. We know. It's not fun for us either. But it's our job....
Somewhere, There Are Some Japanese Restaurant Investors Wondering Where They Went Wrong
We like the idea of a major league manager named "Trey." It seems like an oddly informal name for a manager: We imagine them all having grizzled old-guy names, like Whitey, or Miller. But new Royals manager Trey Hillman is fresh off years with the Nippon Ham Fighters, and he's got, like, a new attit...
Everybody To The Goal Line! Stat!
Whatever your thoughts about Georgia's whole-team-celebration last Saturday after scoring the first touchdown against Florida, you can't deny it wasn't fascinating to look at....

At Last, A Competitive October Game In Denver

Dice-K Spreads The Joy
Because it's tradition around these parts, here's your obligatory Vaguely Homoerotic And Uncomfortable Clubhouse Celebration Picture. It's Daisuke Matsuzaka, spreading his champagne love over an unnamed recipient. We're hoping it's Schilling....
Joe Girardi, Apparently This Is Your Dream Job
The night of Joe Torre's final game as Yankees manager, we ran into one of those aggressively hardcore Yankees fans who are perfectly friendly until they've had a bit to drink. We asked him what he thought about the job vacancy; he said, "I hope it's not Mattingly. I can't boo Donny Baseball." It wa...
