Post Play 11-17

CORRECTION: 11/17 @ 3:55pm
Looks like those clowns at Big Apple Dodgeball partied so hard they couldn't keep the parties straight. Evidently, post-play fun tonight is at STONEWALL, not G Lounge. G Lounge is the following week. After-after party remains at Cubby tonight.

UPDATE :: 11/17 @ 1:20pm
According to our loyal readers, the after-after party is indeed at the Cubby Hole tonight. Who knew one party isn't enough for a Monday night? I think we need a disco nap. xoxo

Sorry Charlie!

It pains us to say, but our friend Charlie has been voted off of Survivor last night. And it was soooo not fair because he was totally blindsided. He knew how to play the game and he looked damn good doing it too (he said he lost 14 pounds from the experience, we are thinking he has figured out our new diet for Fire Island). In a 5-4 vote he was the 10th person voted off Survivor: Gabon, and the 2nd jury member who will decide who ultimately makes off with the 1 million dollar grand prize. We think Sugar may actually fool everyone long enough to win this thing.

Lucky for him he gets to head on over to the Ponderosa where his good "friend" Marcus is, and the now get some much need alone time together, to you know, discuss the game. If he really has game, he would put a move or two on Marcus. Remember, don't hate the playa, hate the game. xoxo

Looking to Score?

Jess Harris from Stonewall wrote a great article about gay sports in NYC for Go! Magazine and BAD! is mentioned quite frequently in the article. In fact, there are quotes from Tarah, Molly, Norman, and Paul the Commissioner about the league and their involvement.

"It’s Monday night, game night for NYC’s Big Apple Dodgeball league. The Tony Dapolito Recreation Center is packed with 20- and 30-somethings sporting mesh shorts and t-shirts. All eyes are on the showdown unfolding on the court before them..."

Check it out the rest here.

Don't Hate, Celebrate!

Remember when we said the dodgeballers were protesting Proposition 8 last night in Columbus Circle, we can't believe how many were out there!

Leven helped to organize some sign making Tuesday night and we loved what we saw. Our favorites included the one above. Check out his blog Knucklecrack to see how involved he got and also see some of the kick ass videos from the protest.

Our favorite Turkish player also got into the spirit. Koray was front and center in the parade doing his best to encourage that mean old Mormon church to stop having 10 wives and let the gays have at least one!

But to our surprise, one of the cutest vets, Jerry, came out to make sure his voice was heard. We thought he was cute before, but now that we know he's hot and outspoken, well he just about fulfilled all of our dirty political fantasies. xoxo

Spotted: After the After After Party

Is the new go-to place when those pesky dodgeballers are kicked out of the bar at the end of the night? We would usually say no, because they are totally watching their girlish figures for Fire Island, but alas we are wrong. We have heard several reports of spottings late nights on Monday at Gray's, with one Queen's bound car making a pit-stop to the excitement of several hungry players. Now if only they had on some Britney and cheap vodka, this could become the new hot spot. xoxo

Stop Hating

A bunch of the dodgeballers got together last night to join in the protest against Propostition 8, because hey we want equal rights too! And look who was featured in a picture on NYTimes.com website about the protest? xoxo

And After The Party...

Well R Kelly said it was the hotel lobby, but BAD! decided to hit up Pieces. And boy did they, even if they kept kicking them off of the stage.

Who knew those dodgeballer knew how to rage? We caught up with Gladiator Jen and Poppi who kept us in stitches. We are still amazed that Jen was a competitor on "American Gladiators", I mean she is pretty brutal when she plays for Splash, but who would have guessed she plays football as well? And we hear it isn't tag football, it's tackle football! We bet she could take down half those Gay Football League players!

Have we found BAD!'s new couple, Sanchez and Niki? We know they are just friends, but they also happen to be two of the leagues most popular players. We are sad Niki is injured, but we love the way she refs. And let's just say, we love Sanchez's new accessory, is that a headband or a green rat tail? We can't tell, but we totally approve.

And let's just say the buzz about this site has been building. Truth be told we couldn't help but overhear a few dodgeballers exclaim that "You shouldn't be upset if you are talked about on gossipgays. You should be more upset if you aren't being talked about." And we couldn't agree more. xoxo

A Little Pole Goes A Long Way.

And we ain't kidding!

After an intense night of play, what better way to relieve all that stress than get on a pole and strip your troubles away? It seemed to be the place to be at Henrietta Hudson's for post play. Boys and girls alike worked that pole giving us their best Anna Nicole, and boy was the crowd loving it.V and Lori worked it like pros, but no one got quite the response that one of our fave newbies Kelly did. He worked it out (twice mind you) all because Scott E. said he would buy him a shot. He even got more naked than we think he thought he was gonna get, courtesy of Koray (god bless your Turkish soul). All we have to say, if you are looking for a little cash around the holidays Kelly, you know where your talents lie.

We also got the chance to hang with old our friend Mark Maraccini who founded the BAD! league 3 seasons ago. He was in from LA and doing a little checkup on how the league has progressed since the 8 teams last in Fall '07. Well with 12 teams playing this fall, and the league always expanding, we are going to say it turned out pretty well. This picture can only be dubbed "The Forefathers of Gay Dodgeball".

We are going to also go on record and say it was the horniest night of post-play we have ever seen. Rachna, our dodgeball fashionista, was in rare form. We saw her serving drinks to people, getting dangerously close to the pole, and making out with the lovely lady bartenders. We also noticed several other smooches going on, Sanchez and Craig (who was straddling some Non-BAD! boy by the cage), Sergio and Beaux, and Gladiator Jen and Poppi behind a curtain. We saw one of these couples leave discreetly alone one by one, but shockingly about a minute apart.

The thing that shocked us the most was probably the slap heard round the world. We know Edwin is a very popular newbie, and Gilbride is probably one of the most popular vets around. So why did Gilbride haul off and slap Edwin right across his pretty face? We are hoping it was all in good fun, but let's really hope it was just a little foreplay. xoxo.

I Ain't One To Gossip 11-12

Well it seems like our favorite dodgeball couple is heating up right before our very eyes. Tony the Tiger and the Cuban Cobra have finally made good on that promise of meeting up after the open play. So after a couple weeks of raunchy text messages and quite the makeout session at Henrietta Hudson's, they held their own after-after party out in Alphabet City. We heard it went all night long, let's just hope for their sake it was worth the wait. xoxo.

Called Out!

While Splash continues to dominate in the standings, we can't help but but wonder what got into Paul the Commissioner at the games on Monday? In a sudden death match between Boy Butter and Splash (who is currently in first), he managed to jump into the game to catch a ball that Lori single-handedly was going to catch, even though he wasn't playing. The refs called interference, thus losing the match for Boy Butter. Perhaps he was really excited to play, or maybe it's just a bonafide on-the-court scandal? xoxo

Ask and Yee Shall Receive

You wanted to see it. And GG always delivers:

Baby Jesus was crying somewhere...
But all we heard was a resounding AMEN. xoxo

What The Kids Are Saying...

Now, now girls. Can't we all share and play nice? xoxo.

Spotted: Pole Dancing

We can only say we saw things we never thought we would ever see. And we kinda liked it. xoxo.

(video only gets good 20 sec. in)

Styling and Profiling: V

Let's just say we have booked a one way ticket aboard the S.S. Villanova, with V as the captain leading the ship to what can only be the most awesome destination. We don't know what port we are getting off at, but at least we know we are going to get off, with V's help of course. All aboard!

Here are five reasons alone we have been crushing on V for a while:

#1) She is the girl to beat in Big Apple Dodgeball. She was once described as a pitbull with lipstick who can catch the shit of your ball with a smile, but honestly that doesn't even do her justice. Seriously, don't throw it at her, she will catch it and you will get mad every time. She is one of the fiercest competitors out there, and also one of the smartest.


#2) She's been doing this for a while, just look at what an athlete she was at 11! She's been honing her craft, and it just might finally be paying off.

#3) She's got team spirit. She played for Woof! last season, and this season she is a Gym-Nasty. Although deep down, we are pretty sure she loves to break out the sign language for sea turtles move every now and again. Perhaps with old team members, or just rocking out in her apartment.

#4) She is a monster on the flip cup table. She can drink it, flip it, and have to time to look amazing doing it, while you are still trying to gulp it down. We also love that she has fun and inventive ways to always start a game with the other head of the table.
#5) Lastly we love that she knows how to get down and dirty. Some of the pictures we saw from her 30th birthday this weekend were scandalously amazing. We love that Jennifer Beals is totally making a comeback in the BAD! league and V is embracing it. The hair alone should let you know that she rocks, and she rolls. xoxo.

Post Play 11-10

We expect everyone (especially the ladies) to be out in full force at Henrietta Hudson (438 Hudson St at Morton) tonight.

If you have a hot friend, bring them. xoxo.
