This gay week in sports, quarterback Tony Romo embarrasses himself even further with ever obnoxious girlfriend Jessica Simpson; UCF head baseball coach Jay Bergman is fired for sexual misconduct with a bat; tennis goddess Maria Sharapova gets pissy about a photo shoot; 1,800 people get naked to help promote soccer; the New York Jets open up their cheerleading squad to hot drag queens; the Gay Games thinks chess is a sport; and gymnastic Olympic hopeful Alicia Sacramone knocks the crap out of someone.
Everyone knows songstress Jessica Simpson has been in more laps than a napkin, but after dumping hubby Nick Lachey, Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine, comedian Dane Cook and John Mayer, she finally seems to have found her soul mate with sexy Dallas Cowboy’s quarterback Tony Romo.
Cowboy’s fans, however, have been very reluctant about welcoming Jessica into the fold, considering her to be a bad luck charm and accusing her of distracting Romo from the game. The couple has been seen frolicking in Cabo while he was suppose to be at practice, and he has played poorly every time she sits in the stands.
This week, however, the couple decided to switch sports for the day and hit a Cubs game, where he tossed out the first pitch and sang “Take Me out to the Ball Game” for an unappreciative crowd.
Apparently Romo was not blessed with his girlfriend’s ummm… good voice as the stadium erupted in a loud chorus of boos. Last month, the couple was also photographed swapping spit and cake at a Dallas nightclub on his 28th birthday.
Well at least Tony’s tongue shut her up for a few seconds. Classy.
After coaching the University of Central Florida baseball team for 26 years, this week, the school’s most successful coach, Jay Bergman, was relieved of his position. According to university sources, Berman was charged with sexually harassing equipment manager Chris Rhyce with a bat.
The Orlando Sentinel reported, “Rhyce told the university in a written complaint that he was held down on the field, fully clothed by a baseball staff member before a March 7 game while the players watched. Bergman was said to have grabbed a bat and shoved it toward Rhyce's buttocks.”
Bergman has denied the claims.
It’s ironic. I think the Channel 1 Releasing film Little Big League had a similar scene, only the players were all naked and no one got fired.

With three grand slam titles, a theme song, countless commercials and a killer body, Maria Sharapova has been the pin up girl for the WTA over the past few years. But this week, she decided that tennis may actually be more important than taking pictures.
The WTA tour demanded that Sharapova and several of the other female athletes participate in a promotional photo shoot before the Italian Open this week. Sharapova refused to do the shoot, saying that she didn’t want any distractions before she hit the court.
The WTA threatened a $300,000 fine if she didn’t comply, so the queen of the court compromised to a 90 minute shoot rather than the planned four hours.

Despite the compromise, the Russian hottie still seemed a little miffed, telling the Associated Press, “I want all my fans to know the WTA Tour is forcing me and several of the other top players to do a four-hour commercial shoot. They want me to do this shoot on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday of the Rome tournament after flying 12 hours from Los Angeles. I never do shoots before tournaments because they are mentally draining and I want to just focus on my tennis.”
You gotta love a girl with balls.
The 2008 Euro Soccer final will take place this year in Vienna, and the fans are so happy about the event that they’ve decided to strip down naked and lay on the ground with only soccer balls to cover up their nether regions.
This week, 1,800 men and women gathered in Ernst Happel stadium to take part in US photographer Spencer Tunick’s erotic vision. On his website, the famed photographer said, "This very special ephemeral installation that we are inviting you to be part of is devised to capture and combine the spirit of sports, the grand sweeping waves of stadium architecture and the abstract relation of the human form to modern structures.”
Personally I think he just gets off on seeing all those balls.

Last year some of the NFL cheerleaders were banned from the field during warm ups because they were seen as a distraction to the players.
This year, while holding tryouts for the New York Jets “flight crew” (gag), Denise Garvey, the director and dance choreographer, said that she would not be opposed to a knock out drag queen making the squad.
WNYC’s Kathleen Horan questioned Garvey about the absence of men at the auditions, to which Garvey replied, “We haven't had any men apply... we are looking for young women.” Horan then asked what if a drag queen tried out, and Garvey stated “I guess everyone deserves a fair chance - so that would be my attitude.”
And they thought the men were distracted before. Wait until Coco Peru takes to the field in a hot little cheerleading skirt.
When you think sports, you probably envision soccer, or figure skating or football, but this year at the 2010 Gay Games, Cologne, Germany will be introducing the heart pounding, rigorous sport of chess to their line up.
It was just announced by Jochen Farber, the head of public relations and marketing for the event, that along with more traditional sports, chess would be making its debut at the Games. When questioned about the decision by the Windy City Times, Farber explained, “Well, in Europe, it really is a big sport; people really like it. And for us it's easy to organize.”
Unfortunately I think Farber may have missed the memo that explained that no matter how popular it is, chess is not now nor ever has been considered a sport.
In related news, watching paint dry is also not a sport.
And finally, while fellow Olympic gymnastic hopefuls Paul Hamm, Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin are busy perfecting their vaults, former world champion Alicia Sacramone is working on her left hook. Recently a video of the young Brown University gymnast pummeling a male student showed up on YouTube. The blog WithLeather.com showcased the random video, and we thought we’d let you take a look too.
If she can do that with her fist, just imagine what damage she could do with her thighs!
