49er’s corner tweets that all females “be on there period” before making homophobic comment

Jan 30
NFL

Dear players preparing to play in the Super Bowl: anything you say during the two weeks leading up to the big game will be heard by everyone.

Some players just do not understand.

Take 49er’s corner Chris Culliver for example. After waking up to a “mean” text today, the DB known as Cully had some harsh generalizations for the female gender:

Later in the day, Culliver told comedian Artie Lange that he would not welcome a gay player into the 49er’s locker room. “I don’t do the gay guys man:”

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver told comedian Artie Lange that he would not welcome a gay player to the team.

Lange was in New Orleans for Super Bowl media day Tuesday, and played part of the interview on his syndicated radio show that night.

“I don’t do the gay guys man,” Culliver said in response to gay players in the NFL. “I don’t do that.”

Lange asked if he thought there were any gay players currently on the 49ers.

“No, we don’t got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. Can’t be with that sweet stuff.”

So Lange asks if gay players would need to keep it a secret.

“Yeah, come out 10 years later after that,” Culliver said.

Period.

Baltimore restaurant offers discount for fans who insult Jen Royle on Twitter

Jan 29
Miscellaneous

There are three locations that actually know of Jen Royle: New York where she got her start on the YES Network, Boston where she currently works as a glorified blogger on her own site, and Baltimore where she was ran out of town by fans who quickly grew tired of her constant insults towards the city and its teams, her lack of journalistic skill and professionalism, as well as her overwhelming favoritism toward New York and Boston. Her time in Baltimore was highlighted by an attempt to sue a local radio station/website for defamation.

These days, when Royle is not being a journalist on her Boston sports site, she is a Twitter firestarter, practically begging for attention by calling out Baltimore, its teams, and its fans. Her latest ploy was an attack at Ray Lewis and the Ravens as they prepare of their first Super Bowl appearance in 12 years:

After Ravens fans jumped on her for the tweet, she deleted it, making it appear as if she was attacked without reason. But, to her delight, she received the attention from Baltimorians that she wanted.

Royle also received attention from an odd source: Jimmy’s Seafood, a well known seafood restaurant located in Baltimore. Jimmy’s works closely with the Baltimore Ravens, frequently scheduling player appearances and also houses radio shows hosted by Ravens players. And as of tonight, they are running a promotion that you cannot beat:

Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket the Super Bowl

Jan 27
NFL

According to their Twitter account as well as the accounts of some of their leaders, the Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket next Sunday’s Super Bowl in New Orleans between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49er’s, calling it “the Fag Bowl.”

Outraged by the avocation of gay marriage by Ravens’ linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo as well as the vast gay population of San Francisco, the organization filled their tweets last night with the hate and name calling that has characterized the group known for picketing funerals of fallen soldiers.

Warning: Tweets contain homophobic slurs:

Ayanbadejo has not tweeted a response.
