Some Grizzlies guards won’t find this amusing

From Outsports.com, via Deadspin, comes the news that sprinter Tyson Gay was referred to as “Tyson Homosexual” on a right-wing web site by mistake. Seriously. No word yet on whether the site, OneNewsNow, has any predictions on whether Rudy Homosexual can improve on his 20.1 point scoring average from a year ago. Along those same lines, did anyone else catch the line about Kevin Love and Rudy Gay in the midst of Bill Simmons’ draft diary? (5:23). We’re a little surprised it made it past the ESPN censors.

“did anyone else catch the line about Kevin Love and Rudy Gay in the midst of Bill Simmons’ draft diary? (5:23). We’re a little surprised it made it past the ESPN censors.”

Reportedly, the joke was only approved by editors after Simmons agreed to remove references to Chris Wilcox, Kaniel Dickens, and Dee Brown.

So were the Flintstones having a Homosexual old time during their show’s introduction?

I think your logo needs to be changed. That Golf ball is freaking me out. Each post should have it’s own logo depending on the topic. Get on that will you.

“4:31 p.m. PT: Stu introduces David Stern by reminding us it’s our 25th straight draft with the Commish.”

Stu, although I’m jealous that you were hosting the NBA draft, would this be equivilent to throwing the first pitch at a minor league game for a Washington Nationals farm club?

Obviously there were only 24 straight drafts, the 25th being derailed at approximately 5:23 p.m. PT.

In their defense, they’ve also spent the last 7+ years referring to the President as George W. ObsceneVernacularforFemaleGenitalia, so it’s not necessarily a right-wing bias thing.
