The last football player ever to tackle John Elway is gay.

A book by a gay NFL player. :) Fabulous.

1. Great story!

And I want to get that book. Sounds fascinating.

It's a shame Esera Tuaolo had to wait until he left pro football to come out. Of course we know that there's other Esera Tuaolos in the NFL. But professional sports is so rife with homophobia, they'd never do it.

Sorry about the above...my mini-rant for the day.

Thanks for posting this, Bertha. :-)

3. I think it's going to be a baseball player who breaks out while still in

the league. It's the mellowest of the four major pro male team sports. He'll still get P-Lenty of crap, poor guy, but SOMEONE in that league has the cojones to do it.

:hi: Rant all you like, love. :)

2. I heard him on Jim Rome's show once.

Very touching story.

4. Jim Rome is?

I don't care, he just annoys me.

5. From what I hear about Elway...

(major repuke) ...he may come out of retirement for one play, just so a straight guy can tackle him.

6. Naw...he really wants to take showers with other guys again
