Paul,

I just stumbled across your site and saw that you had linked to Outsports.com — and that we're your favorite gay sports site :) Thanks for the props, and the link!

Your site is pretty cool — pretty funny. The great thing is, it's so cool I can't tell if you're straight or gay.

Thanks for being out there.

Who do I look like, fucking Sandy Koufax?

While it is true that I adore Brady Anderson for hitting 52 home runs for my fantasy baseball team in 1996, — and that I derive half my jokes from Richard Simmons and Bruce Vilanche — the fact remains that I would rather have sex with the girl who played Darlene on "Roseanne" than come face to face, so to speak, with anything that throws up and doesn't clean after itself (meaning either my college roommate or a penis).

Not that there's anything wrong with it. But there's one thing I have a major beef with: getting a complimentary e-mail from a gay man without a comment on my looks. At least the homos at Hedonism II had the manners to compliment me on certain anatomy before I told them I just wanted to be friends.

More Gay Notes:

• I recently ran into a longtime lesbian couple, whom I've known for about a decade. One of them was several months pregnant. Very rarely does one look at a pregnant stomach and ask, "How did this happen?"

• My friend called the other night to brag on a salesman at Barney's who not only saved him tons of money but taught him a new term: "powergay." The powergays, the salesman explained, are so gay that even gay guys don't want anything to do with them.

Salon's Kaufman: What's Sandy Koufax So Mad About? — The columnist and I agree that being called gay is no big deal, but I'm not in Koufax's shoes, so I don't know what it's like to be either a) famous and hiding a gay life; or b) famous and reading lies about one's personal life. I do know what it's like to not be famous and have one's sexuality questioned (see above). It's kinda funny.

Alstott Named Outsports.com's Hot Player of Super Bowl — I linked to the feature last year (Adam Vinatieri) so I might as well do it again. My prediction for next Super Bowl's hot player: Tiki Barber. (Only 'cause Jason Sehorn appears to be on his way out of New York.)

2002 Brass Balls Awards — Outsports.com selects the best-looking guys in baseball. Final score: Yankees 4, Red Sox 3, Mets 2. Choke on that, mother fuckers. (Just not in front of me.)
