Sure seems so from the looks of these college football & professional football pics….

What do you think?

San Diego Charger Jacques Cesaire (left pic) was a featured highlight yesterday at an anti-gay-marriage rally sponsored by iprotectmarriage.com.

An audio recording from the event reveals Cesaire and NFL free agent Akbar Gbaja-Biamila (right pic), brother of Packer Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (KGB), encouraging everyone in attendance at the rally to oppose same-sex marriage and vote ‘Yes’ on Proposition 8… which would take away the recently won right for gays to marry in California.

A couple takes of the spot were played during the event…

The first spot:

Cesaire: Hi, I’m Jacques Cesaire, a professional football player, and I support Biblical marriage between a man and a woman.
Gbaja-Biamila: This election, vote Yes on Prop 8

And the second spot:

Gbaja-Biamila: Hi, I’m Akbar Gbaja-Biamila, and I support a Biblical marriage between a man and a woman.
Cesaire: And I’m Jacques Cesaire, a professional football player. This election, let’s stand up for what we believe in.
Gbaja-Biamila: Yes on 8

After they spoke, there was a presentation labeling ‘Prop 8′ as a “battle between light and darkness.”

What’s interesting is that Cesaire doesn’t mention the San Diego Chargers or the NFL, but only that he is a “pro football player”.

Other sports figures appearing in discriminatory promos at the rally included skateboard pros Brian Sumner and Christian Hosoi, and pro freestyle motocross rider and X Games gold medallist Kyle Loza.

As for ourselves… we strongly urge any California residents who visit our website to VOTE NO ON 8!!!!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Jeremy Trueblood said a fight broke out in overtime of Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears after a Bears player grabbed his genitals.

“One thing I don’t stand for is someone grabbing you in your genitals,” Trueblood told the Chicago Sun Times. (Yeah, that’s also one thing we won’t stand for; it’s much better lying down).

The fight that broke out resulted in Bears defender Charles Tillman getting nailed for a key penalty that kept the Bucs’ drive alive. They went on to win 27-24. Bears players complained that Trueblood also should have been penalized.

Instant replays showed Trueblood taking a swing at Adewale Ogunleye on the ground with his left arm and using his right arm as a bar across Ogunleye’s neck. A big pile ensued, and after Tillman began pulling players off, he engaged with wide receiver Michael Clayton, throwing a punch that earned the flag.

Asked if Trueblood’s accusation could be true, Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris said: ”Probably. I don’t know. They grab [testicles], they pinch, they do everything underneath the pile. It’s football. It’s what goes on during the whistle.”

When asked to clarify if Trueblood actually could be serious, Harris said it was possible. ”Yeah, the same way my junk got grabbed during the game,” he said. ”That happens, so guard your junk.”

It’s common knowledge that all sorts of interesting things go on in a pile during an NFL game, with players punching, grabbing and poking at any body part they can reach.

One week we have Washington Redskins player Chris Cooley showing his penis on his blog, the next we have players getting their balls grabbed and talking about guarding their “junk.”

What’s the NFL cumming to????

Mt. Olive Pickle Company and Vlasic better take serious note: Olympic rockstar Michael Phelps won’t be endorsing you anytime soon.

Apparently, the record-setting Olympian hates pickles.

Hmmm…. could it have something to do with their oblong penis-shape?

Anyway, this little food secret came out during Phelps’ stop in Atlanta on Wednesday as part of a nationwide tour to talk to children about setting goals and maintaining active lifestyles.

Unfortunately, he was fully clothed in jeans, sweater and hat.

The San Diego Chargers became the third team with serious playoff aspirations to avoid starting 0-3 after their 48-29 thrashing of the New York Jets on Monday night football.

San Diego (1-2) recovered quite nicely a week after having a win at Denver taken away from them on a blown call.

The N.Y. Jets meanwhile look about the same with Brett Favre as they did without him the last few years — a team that can play well in spurts but has trouble putting together a total game.

Sucks for them!

Favre is playing OK for New York from a statistical standpoint, but he threw two killer interceptions against the Chargers — one returned for a touchdown and the other in the end zone as the Jets were mounting a comeback. He is clearly not yet comfortable in the Jets offensive system, but with a 1-2 record the Jets are far from panicking….

At least not yet!

The Chargers joined Minnesota, Jacksonville and Seattle as 0-2 teams that played inspired this weekend to avoid an 0-3 start. In a season where no team looks dominant, staying in the thick of the race is all that matters.

Do any of y’all remember Australian diver Matthew Mitcham?

He was the only non-Chinese diver to win a Gold Medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing… not only that, but he’s openly gay and NBC “conveniently” neglected to share that part of his inspiring story during their Olympic coverage.

Shame on NBC!!! But that’s old news anyway…

While Mitcham still doesn’t seem to have a major sponsorship or endorsement deal (unlike American swimming stud like Michael Phelps), he has taken a big step in that direction signing with Grand Slam International for exclusive management and marketing representation.

According to Mitcham:

Winning gold in Beijing was an amazing experience for me. I’ve been overwhelmed with the public’s response to my achievement and am looking forward to the road ahead,” Matthew said. “Grand Slam International represents many of Australia’s leading sports stars, helping them successfully manage their careers both in and out of the athletic arena. I look forward to working with GSI on some exciting initiatives.

Among the other athletes represented by GSI is Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe.

With GSI now representing him, we don’t envision how Mitcham will be left without a lucrative deal in the very near future.

Rumor has it that AussieBum Underwear wants him as their poster boy… stay tuned!

A bunch of folks are getting their panties in a bunch over the disqualification of a team in the recently held Gay Softball World Series because the team had too many straight players on it.

From Edge Magazine:

“D2, a team from San Francisco, beat the Atlanta Mudcats in the series to qualify for the A Division championship game against the Los Angeles Vipers. But the Mudcats filed a protest, alleging that six of D2’s players were straight. North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAA) rules state a team in the series may have no more than two straight players on its squad. A review indicated that four of the six players were straight, D2 was disqualified, the championship was awarded to the Vipers, and the Mudcats and other teams which finished behind D2 all moved up a notch in the standings.”

This isn’t the first team to be disqualified for this reason, and it won’t be the last. While some are calling the policy discriminatory, its intentions are good.

Organized sports, whether in high school or in the professional world, is still a relatively homophobic place.

It can be argued that straight players who end up playing in gay tournaments take playing time, and even roster spots, away from gay players.

One of the questions that’s always been around in these types of “gay tournaments” is, how do you enforce the rule? How do you determine if someone is in fact straight or gay?

And what about bisexuals???

After 30 years of running the tournament, it may be that the organizers have come to the conclusion that leaving the door open to bisexuality has caused too much trouble with a loop hole that may be too easy for some to take advantage of.

Either way, it seems odd to limit the number of bisexuals… don’t you think?

But, as long as the mainstream sports world continues to cast a homophobic shadow over athletic culture in general, we personally see nothing wrong with the GAYS trying to make sports more welcoming for their community.

Still… can’t we all just play together??? Err…. Get along????

It’s the end of an era folks!

Even Yogi Berra knew this was the end. As baseball said farewell to Yankee Stadium Sunday night, one of the game’s most beloved players stood beneath the stands in a full vintage uniform. Now 83, the man who coined the phrase “it ain’t over till it’s over” put his own stamp on the day.

“I’m sorry to see it over, I’ll tell you that,” Berra said.

The sad farewell completed an 85-year-old run for the home of baseball’s most famous team. What began with a Babe Ruth home run on an April afternoon in 1923 ended Sunday with Mariano Rivera retiring Brian Roberts on a grounder to first baseman Cody Ransom, completing a 7-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on a warm September night.

But before the game even began, all the greats were remembered during a 65-minute pregame ceremony that included 21 retired players, six of them Hall of Famers.

“I feel like I’m losing an old friend,” Reggie Jackson told the crowd.

Bob Sheppard, the 90-something public address announcer who started in 1951, read the opening welcome. He missed this season because of illness but recorded his greeting and the introduction of the Yankees starting lineup.

The 1922 American League pennant, the first to fly in the ballpark, was unfurled in the black batter’s eye beyond center field. Young men and boys were introduced representing the opening-day lineup in 1923.

Then came the living Yankees who make the stadium a standard for excellence.

Willie Randolph slid into second base when he was announced. Fan favorite Paul O’Neill pointed to the Bleacher Creatures in right field. Bernie Williams, back at the ballpark for the first time since the Yankees cut him two years ago, received the longest ovation, which lasted nearly 2 minutes. Don Larsen scooped up dirt from the pitcher’s mound in a plastic cup, assisted by Whitey Ford.

Accompanying them were the sons of some deceased stars: Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Billy Martin and Thurman Munson, joined by the wives of Catfish Hunter, Bobby Murcer and Phil Rizzuto, the daughter of Elston Howard and Murcer’s son and daughter.

No mention was made of Roger Clemens, whose legacy has been clouded by accusations he used performance-enhancing drugs. George Steinbrenner, the team owner since 1973, did not attend.

Julia Ruth Stevens, the 92-year-old daughter of Babe Ruth, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a crowd of 54,610 - bringing the stadium’s lifetime total visitors to 151,959,005.

Outside the stadium, the marquee that usually has the day’s start time and opponent said: “Thanks for the Memories.”

It’s just so sad!!!!

New York Yankee Stadium was such a HUGE part of American culture… Thoughts??? We’re here for you if you need to shed a tear…

NFL quarterback jock Brady Quinn gets weighed in and get his measurements taken… wearing nothing but his football uniform undies!

We always knew he was hiding a whole bunch of muscle under that uniform.

But we have one question… what happened to all his body hair????

Just some pics of martial arts Judo hunks from Hungary for y’all to check out.
