He was one of the reasons I’ve pretty much abandoned ESPN programming in the last year along with the overly sanctimonious social-justice warrioring on this “sports” channel. Now I’ll avoid Fox Sports as well.
Based on what precisely
Troy was married to Rhonda Aikman for ten years. It was a “problem marriage”. She was cited for drunk driving, incidentally. I see where Troy and Sandra Bullock dated also, for a time. I had forgotten that.
Which sports circles? You mean the drunk guys at the bar?
I see where Troy and Sandra Bullock dated alsoThe "rumors" have also chased Ms. Bullock around for a long time.
Rhonda Worthney (or something like that....too lazy to check). 2000 to 2011.
I don’t know about the Sandra rumors so much, but her terrible taste in men makes it plausible that she would be “weird” by now, and burned out toward romance. I hope she is straight, and I hope she has shunned the debauchery, happy in Houston, with her adopted children.
I think Leigh Ann what’s-her-name was a probably a good influence on Bullock, during the making of BLINDSIDE. (Michael O’s step parents and mentors.) Supposedly Sandra and Leigh Ann and Sandra struck up a friendship that led to Bullock’s move from Austin, TX to Houston for a time.
Thank you, Nifster. I didn’t know who Rhonda was/is, either.
I thought Skip Bayless was gay.
Anyone that read the morning paper knew the first thing you did with the sports page was skip Bayless
Gay men don’t drink Miller Beer...
Aikman does a Miller commercial...
They drink Bud because it tastes like piss water...
I’m not a fan of Aikman.
I’d be surprised if Bayless was shown to be straight.
Kinda wonder if Skip ran into Barack in the Boystown bathhouses
in Chicago after he was hired there in the late 90s.
It was years before Troy offered a credible denial of the accusation, and the marriage after the rumors came out was conveniently to a single mom who worked in the organization.
So, to a large extent, he has only himself to blame. And it’s not like pro football doesn’t have a history of gay quarterbacks.
Thank you, Robert, for filling in the detail. He has been single for some time, I take it. I can only presume he is dedicated to caution when it comes to women, given the curse of wealth and fame, and the man traps out there have to be significant in numbers. I hope he can settle down and be happy one day. A terrible rumor against him, and terribly unlikely.
I guess the bottom line should be, it doesn't really matter because he doesn't let it become an issue for even himself.
Who?
[Blind Gossip] This man is one of the greatest athletes of all time in his sport. We have talked about him – and his secret – before. Let’s talk about it some more!
Following his stellar athletic career, Athlete moseyed on over to the broadcasting side of things. You would think he would be happy if his network brought over an experienced broadcaster to join his network.
Nope! Our Athlete is definitely not rolling out the welcome wagon for this new hire!
You see, Athlete has been hiding his homosexuality behind a carefully curated facade of beard girlfriends and beard wives for years. New Hire knows all about it and has been chomping at the bit to spill all the details!
What does New Hire know? EVERYTHING! Names, dates, duration, travel, hookups, breakups, etc. He also knows all about that long-term relationship with athlete had with another male broadcaster. Whoa!
It will be interesting to watch Athlete try to corral New Hire in the press and take him down. When you hear about it, just know that it has nothing to do with New Hire’s qualifications… and everything to do with Athlete’s ferocious protection of his secret!
BG Note: If you have trouble guessing the subjects of this blind item, ask your favorite sports fan!
