We're just eighteen days away from the release of the Dieux du Stade 2008 calendar, in which Steven Klein turns his hot eye on even hotter rugby players.
See some shots of these god-like athletes over at American Urge.
Remember when The Daily Mash posted a satirical piece suggesting ultimate fighters are fagalas? Well, here's the evidence: Daniel Puder at the Playboy mansion's mixed martial arts event.
Case closed?
Gay watchdog group GLAAD's just days away from its first "Sports Media" program!

If only this piece of satire were true:
No holds barred cage fighting can lead to long term gayness and an obsession with thighs, the British Medical Association claimed last night. The BMA is warning that men who are attracted to cage fighting are already gay or at least entertaining the possibility of a gay-based lifestyle.According to a BMA study around 82% of men who took part in the vicious fights were gay before they started and another 12% became gay during their first fight.
That explains BJ Penn and Jens Pulver's loving embrace.
For those of you mathemagicians wonder what happened to the final 6%: "[They got into] cage fighting because they wanted to beat up gay men."
Today's an important day in the history of sports, to be sure.

Brazilian footballer Rafael Córdova busted it all out and posed naked for September's G magazine. Considering all the drama surrounding gays in sports, the 28-year old goal keeper's definitely taking a big chance. And no doubt many a gay fan…
See a couple more shots over at Made in Brazil.
Libido: Yeah, that's totally a picture of Serbian tennis pro Novak Djokovic with a potentially mammoth erection.
Logic: Why the fuck would Serbian tennis pro Novak Djokovic be walking around a tennis court with a potentially mammoth erection? That's obviously a ball in his pocket!
Libido: Then why's he wearing 'Gentleman' underwear? It's so inviting!
Logic: Huh? That's so illogical!
Libido: I know!
(Thanks for inducing a mental breakdown, Down The Line.)
Being a Gloomy Gus gets us nowhere. Unfortunately, millions upon millions of people can't get out of their rut. While an estimated ten percent of those countless millions simply can't find a suitable dick, the majority suffer from - you guessed it - depression. Olympic diver and avowed homosexual Greg Louganis counts himself among those remaining millions.
The experience of writing his autobiographical book, Breaking The Surface weighed on his already perturbed emotions. Heeding co-author Eric Marcus' advice, Louganis headed to the headshrinker, found out the deal on 'the d-word' and enlisted as an awareness activist, "With any type of mental illness, there’s an education and an understanding that needs to take place."

Soccer super star David Beckham swept into New York City this weekend to take on our under appreciated Red Bulls - and player Dave van den Bergh. As you can see, Beckham's not as gentle as some of us would like to imagine. Despite Beckham's teeth baring, the Red Bulls pulled off a 5-4 victory over Los Angeles Galaxy (as if you care, right?).
Becks felt a bit more cuddly the morning of the game, when he took the pitch with some of New York's pint-sized players. He also showed Carlos Pavon some teammate love. Check out pics of Becks in various states of dress, after the jump. Why? Because we're gay.

Some people can't understand why gay journos like Kenneth Walsh post pictures of hunky men. Luckily, Outsports' Jim Buzinski helps LA Daily News understand:
"When it comes to visuals in sports, gay men and straight men are very similar except for the genders that we look at… Men are more visual. So we are just doing what mainstream sites do but we are catering to our audiences. If you look at Sports Illustrated or ESPN magazine, they all have some kind of photo gallery of hot babes in sports, or cheerleaders of the week. In a sense, that is geared toward what their audience mostly is: heterosexual."So on Outsports, the photo galleries feature male athletes since its audience skews toward gay men…
Don't you love when everything comes together? We've got one question, though, do you think Buzinski uses the phrase "hot babe" when discussing men like Jeremy Bloom (pictured) or is it reserved for ladies only?
Soccer stud David Beckham celebrated last night after scoring his first goal and assist as an American player. His and Landon Donovan's combined efforts defeated DC United, thus securing LA Galaxy a place in the finals.
Good to see he's earning that $50 million contract.
As Swedish soccer pro Glenn Hysén takes on homophobia in professional sports, a surprisingly high number of American teens are taking on homophobia in their high schools.
[There's] an emerging generation of openly gay and lesbian athletes on high-school and college campuses across the country. These young men and women are quietly venturing where no active pro football or baseball star has gone, challenging the conformist, if not downright homophobic, tradition of the playing fields.
While some kids continue to face juvenile jabs and one-liners, a refreshing majority of gay teen athletes, it seems, have a place on the team.
Three cheers for kids these days!
Stolkholm Pride got off to a very straight start yesterday.
Kicking off the gay festivities, footballer Glenn Hysén decried anti-gay attitudes in sports:
Sometimes, sport turns us into good team players, but sometimes sport turns us into anxious homophobic herd animals. Too few of us who love sport bother to question sport's values. This is why we adults within sport have a particular responsibility to bring up all girls and boys in a liberal and unprejudiced climate.
Hysén can bring us up any time he wants! Hubba-hubba!
Although, from what we understand, he's not down with gay sex: Hysén has been accused of homophobia after "assaulting" a man for making a gay pass.
