By TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist For more years than he wanted to count, Orlando Cruz kept it a secret as best he could. He thought he had no choice, because of who he is and what he does. Cruz is a fighter, and a pretty good one at that. He won 179 amateur bouts and represented Puerto Rico in the 2000 Olympics. By the time this year is over, he hopes to hold a piece of the world title at 126 pounds But his legacy won't be defined with wins and losses, or gaudy green belts. Cruz made sure of that last week by saying words no professional boxer had ever dared utter before. ''I have always been, and always will be, a proud gay man,'' Cruz said. The words came easy, because for Cruz it was way past time. He was tired of hiding who he was, tired of trying to pretend he was something else. He came out to the world, and to his next opponent and the one after that. Then he held his breath and waited to see just how far society has really come. It didn't take lo Sun, 07 Oct 2012 19:29:36 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/column_nothing_left_to_hide_for_gay_boxer/11902996 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/column_nothing_left_to_hide_for_gay_boxer/11902996 Column: Nothing left to hide for gay boxer http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/column_nothing_left_to_hide_for_gay_boxer/11902996 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Associated Press Describing himself as ''a proud gay man,'' Puerto Rican featherweight Orlando Cruz on Thursday became what is believed to be the first pro boxer to come out as openly homosexual while still competing. Cruz told The Associated Press in an interview that he is happy and relieved about his decision but had some initial reservations. ''I developed physically and mentally to take such a big step in my life and in my profession, which is boxing, knowing that it would have pros and cons, highs and lows in this sport that is so macho,'' he said. ''I kept this hidden for many, many years.'' His announcement comes two weeks before the 31-year-old southpaw challenges Mexican boxer Jorge Pazos for the WBO Latino title. Cruz is currently ranked as the World Boxing Organization's No. 4 featherweight fighter and is 18-2-1 with nine knockouts. Cruz said he met with psychologists and other people before making the announcement, adding that he has the ful Thu, 04 Oct 2012 14:42:27 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/puerto_rican_boxer_orlando_cruz_announces_hes_gay/11883157 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/puerto_rican_boxer_orlando_cruz_announces_hes_gay/11883157 Puerto Rican boxer Orlando Cruz announces he's gay http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/puerto_rican_boxer_orlando_cruz_announces_hes_gay/11883157 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Did you see the game Brett Anderson threw the other day?  Neither did.  Was watching MasterChef.  C’mon, is she really blind?  I could see a service dog, pulling to the side of the road and being like, “Listen, sweetheart, how about we stop the charade and let me go hump some other dogs?”  There’s no way she’s blind!  I’m dying for someone to toss her a baseball and watch her catch it.  Speaking of baseball (yes, I’m segueing into baseball on a fantasy baseball site — that’s how I do!), the takeaway from Brett’s box score is they’ve fixed Raggedy Anderson.  He was also going against the World Class Minnesota Twins.  I’m using World Class there like food companies will use World Class because they can’t saying anything accurate like healthy, delicious or Pitmasters-Winning.  That’s a World Class hot dog!  What makes it World Class?  We said so.  I’d grab Anderson in deeper mixed leagues for his next start vs. the Indians and be careful in shallower leagues.  His reha Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:00:11 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/anderson_recooper/11540026 http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/anderson_recooper/11540026 Anderson ReCooper http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/articles/anderson_recooper/11540026 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Milan Lucic is good at punching opponents in the face, scoring goals and laying vicious body checks. Singing Spanish pop songs? Not so much. Last week, the Bruins winger appeared on 98.5 The Sports Hub's Toucher and Rich, where he performed songs as "The Luchador." Lucic busted out his best Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias impressions while also touching on such "classics" as La Cucaracha and Macarena.

Hard to imagine when you think about how they constantly refer to their home arena as “The Mecca of basketball.” I actually wanted this Knick team to be good. It really started to seem like Carmelo was ready to take that next step He was getting genuinely excited during games, and running around beating his chest while screaming things like, “This is my house!” and “La La is MY woman!” But then I remembered that Carmelo is Carmelo and that the Knicks are the Knicks. There are some realities that Knicks fans are going to have to face: Jeremy Lin is an average NBA starting point guard at best, Amar’e will never be the player he was during the first half of last season ever again, Madison Square Garden hasn’t had a relevant game since Jeff Van Gundy was hanging off of Alonzo Mourning’s leg, and most importantly – Carmelo and Amar’e can’t play together.

The 29-year-old said her five-minute live rendition of her songs “Roman’s Revenge” and “Roman Holiday,” which included dancing priests, an exorcism and levitation, was just a part of a movie she’s writing. “You know how people write plays and movies? That’s what I did. I wrote that and I gave the world a tiny little preview of what was to come. And so I have to perform it on the set in which it would be in the movie, right?” she said. Minaj made the comments Wednesday night at an event for Viva Glam MAC cosmetics, for which she is an ambassador with fellow singer Ricky Martin. Proceeds from the sale of the special edition MAC products benefit HIV/AIDS programs worldwide.

Nicks' rendition of the Dirty Bird later caught the attention of its creator, former Falcons running back Jamal Anderson. Good one, Hakeem. (Searches for sarcasm font.) The Dirty Bird hasn't been a thing in 13 years. Since timeliness clearly wasn't an issue for you, why not mock Atlanta by referencing Sherman's burning of the city or the Braves' World Series failures. Either of those would be just as relevant as mocking a celebration that was created, popularized and faded away all while Bill Clinton was still president. Anderson saw the celebration and was initially dumbfounded that someone outside Fulton County still remembered his dance: But in true 1998 fashion, Anderson didn't hate the player, just the game.

When his name is called on draft day it will be as big a surprise as the day former Menudo member and late ’90s pop star Ricky Martin officially came out of the closet. The real draft begins at number two. And gets more interesting at number three and so on. What will the Vikings do? With Christian Ponder, last year’s #1 pick under center, I can’t see them going quarterback. Yes, he has a lot to learn, and a long way to go to reach that ceiling, but he’s the future. Also, Matt Barkley decided to stay in school, and I believe if you can’t get Luck or Barkley, than the Vikes might as well stay with the girl they brought to the dance. Robert Griffin III and Landry Jones are fine prospects, but I don’t think they’ll punt on Ponder for those guys. It’s not unheard of for a team to draft quarterbacks very high in back to back years. The Carolina Panthers just did it with Jimmy Claussen out of Notre Dame in 2010...

The point lead shuffled several times between multiple drivers during the playoff atmosphere of the Chase for the Cup. Division veteran Ron “Junior” Crabtree had to win the final two main events to claim the crown by a mere 5 points over super rookie Aaron Smay. The highly competitive regular season saw 13 different racers pull into victory lane in the 27 features. That spread out list included 5 drivers who earned their very first Speedrome win. The Roadrunners are set to continue that successful wave of momentum into the 2012 year. The class has an adjusted Chase for the Cup format that now resembles the track’s upper echelon Joe’s Value Construction Late Model and Peters Auto Service Stock divisions.
