The NFL QB Who “is a PR dream come true” is Probably Panicking Over This Insanely Detailed Blind Item
Hollywood is buzzing over the blog Crazy Days and Nights, which is supposedly written by an entertainment lawyer, and features a ridiculously plugged-in commenter which Gawker speculates could be an A-list actor. (If you’ve got 15 minutes, I suggest reading that Gawker link for interesting “Inside Hollywood” … stuff.)
Well, the aforementioned anonymous commenter dropped in something last month about an allegedly gay NFL QB who dates Hollywood-types:
Next she’s linked to an NFL QB who is a PR dream come true. What’s better for a QB than a cheerleader? Except, turns out that the dashing poster-boy hanging from locker room walls…would rather be hanging out in locker rooms WITH the boys. As in Village People and YMCA. He’s a big fan of show tunes and musicals.
Not a big deal – except he wanted to come out and take a stand. Then his owners, sponsors, and endorsers (and the NFL itself) went batshit at the thought. So to keep him happy they promised to team him up with his lifelong…ahem…”buddy”. (The buddy it turns out is not only a stellar athlete himself but a long-time lover of the QB).
That’s just the first half of this anonymous person’s comment. The second half of it is far more detailed and … hey, when does the NCAA Tournament start? [H/T: Spark Guy]

Next she’s linked to a TheBigLead Blogger who is a PR dream come true. What’s better for a Blogger than a woman? Except, turns out that the not ugly blogger chatting online with men in their mother’s basements would rather be hanging out in locker rooms WITH the boys. As in Village People and YMCA. He’s a big fan of show tunes and musicals.
Not a big deal – except he wanted to come out and take a stand. Then his owners, sponsors, and endorsers (and the USA Today itself) went batshit at the thought. So to keep him happy they promised to team him up with his lifelong…ahem…”buddy”. (The buddy it turns out is not only barely literate himself but a long-time lover of the Blogger).

Throw in the musical bit and he seems to be talking about Sanchez. maybe the WR is Holmes and that is why they had trouble at the end of the season…a lover’s quarrel.

But seriously, just let Lisk be in charge for a day or two.

From draft day 2010:
” Well, Mark Sanchez is a happy camper. Sanchez and McKnight are close friends and have known each other since they were eight years old. In fact, Sanchez served as McKnight’s personal QB at his recent Pro Day. The two buddies were together Saturday when McKnight received word from the Jets.”
March 14th, 2012 at 1:17 PM
Yep, I thought it sounded like Hayden but I had no idea who Mcknight was. I guess that’s everything then.
Sanchez’s little buddy from high school, who the Jets drafted in round 7 last year, even though he was projected by Mel Kiper to join a Backstreet Boys tribute band.

hard to see any of these players having a problems coming out if they are established.
what, you lose sponsors? that would be a PR nightmare for the sponsor so that won’t happen.
in fact they will probably get more sponsors. and with the publicity generated by it, people who don’t agree with it in the locker room won’t say anything thanks to cell phone videos that could hurt their career with gay bashing.

It’s not a big deal but it is. The shitstorm that would happen if this comes to light would be a haboob or Farvian-LeBronian-Penn Statian proportions times 5. Politicians would be asked about it. Conservatives would throw their two cents in, and the gay population that doesn’t watch any sports would rush to defend the guy blindly. It would transcend everything. Not saying it should be that way but that is what would happen. Remember all the pub John Amaechi got? That was for a retired reserve player in the NBA, this would be a starting NFL QB.

True, but you probably wouldn’t gain any. It would be interesting to see how much a star QB’s jersey sales would fall if he came out. The positive side of me would say not that much, but my realistic side would imagine that his jersey sales would absolutely plummet.
March 14th, 2012 at 1:28 PM
If you haven’t seen Party Down I feel bad for you, but if you have you recall the football draft episode where the QB was gay and he gets drafted by San Fran and gets an Abercrombie deal.

If this report is true and is about Sanchez, it kinda makes all the locker room issues and grumblings about him being coddled by management look different. Same with the latest contract extension.
March 14th, 2012 at 1:30 PM
to a degree I think most won’t care, others will care, but keep their mouth shut b/c it doesn’t help them get paid or win to have a public problem with it, and the relatively few players on each team that have a public problem with it will likely be policed by the team, staff, or ownership to get in line.

I dont’ know if it’s true, but it’s absolutely about Sanchez. That’s why it’s a blind item and not real names. If it was about Romo, the post would say Romo.
Just google Hayden Panitierre quarterback. It’s all there. Or google Scotty McKnight. Don’t google Joe McKnight, because Sanchez may be gay, but not for darkies.

Do players get a cut of jersey sales?
I believe per the CBA, each player gets an equal share from the total brought in for sales of all jerseys. AP said it really didn’t amount to much, and from my understanding, he got the same amount that his backup did.

This could be an athlete thing but it also a male thing. Men definitely have a greater aversion to homosexuality than women. kind of the reason why you don’t hug and kiss your buddies like chics do or why your brain in an FMRI machine is not all aroused by gay porn when straight chics light up with lesbian porn. Now combine this with the profile of a professional athlete and a tendency grows into intolerance and discrimination which clearly cannot be excused
March 14th, 2012 at 1:38 PM
Right, so if the QB wanted to come out, he doesn’t give a shit what would happen to his jersey sales.
If anything, jersey sales would increase (fans of the gayness by his, and fans who don’t like gay style ditch their current one, and by the straight RBs jersey)
March 14th, 2012 at 1:38 PM

March 14th, 2012 at 2:11 PM
Blogger? Gawker. FWIW, the acceptance among players would be lower than among fans and Sanchez would see a short-term spike in jersey sales. Then he would go out and still be terrible and the sales would go pack to whatever they are now or lower because he’s probably getting cut after this year.
March 14th, 2012 at 2:11 PM

March 14th, 2012 at 2:13 PM

This may come as a shock to some of you more rabid sports fans, but ‘beards’ are used extensivly by the PR depts. of franchise sport teams! There are quite a few iconic players hiding under the skirts of these ‘beards’ and if they were to be found out, you guys (and girls!) would go on a major lost weekend! In fact, I thought his blind gossip was about a major icon QB –all the particulars jelled except this one is married to a well known celeb! Question: most say that their team would not accept them if it were known that they are gay. Well, they are accepting them while they are in the ‘closet’ so what changes when they come out of that ‘closet?’ So your contention that they would not be accepted is not valid! Besides, I am willing to bet most are known to their teammates, but they just don’t want to talk about it!
