Reed helps us wade through some massive signings and trades in the MLB. Money can buy you Shohei Ohtani, but can it buy you happiness? Is Juan Soto the difference maker that the Yankees?
Then, Is it business as usual for Alabama in the CFP or does Michigan finally have a chance?

Josh Tolle, RN ( @josh.tolle ) is our guest this week on Out of The Closet Sports. Long before he was a Registered Nurse and a Broadway Star living his Britney Spears' musical dream, Josh was a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Don't worry folks, he still owns a terrible towel.
Luke Prokop is out and proud and under a contract with an NHL team. Sean Avery is still an ally years after he came out publicly in favor of marriage equality. Is the NHL the gayest male pro league in the USA? Who better to discuss it than a Nurse and someone who played a patient on "Royal Pains"?
This week on Gametime we use more bleeps(whistles) in one segment than we've used in an entire season.

This week on Out of The Closet Sports we planned to take a week off. . . BUT THEN THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN BEAT OHIO STATE FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR. And what was this gay sports fan to do?!? I had to come and share my joy with all of you.
After my elation subsided I came crashing back to earth where I discovered that the NBA was hosting an in-season tournament . . . for no reason at all.

"A Sporty Queen Who Likes to Rough House" Sam Rohloff (@samrohloff4) is our guest on our first Jockstraps Only episode of Out of The Closet Sports.
Sam is an accomplished actor/singer/dancer but it's his side hustle as a high school tennis coach that is our focus on this episode. We reflect on how our sexuality informed our choice in sports and the visibility of Sam's out and proud presence on the high school tennis circuit.
The Gay Games wrapped up last week and we celebrate these brave athletes whose participation is a political act in itself. From the Gay Games to GAMETIME where we ask "How Gay Is It?". . . .the answer: Sports are Gay.

Broadway star Kimber Elayne Sprawl (@kimberelaynesprawl) joins us this week on Out of The Closet Sports. On the heels of Wicked's 20th Anniversary, Kimber discusses her groundbreaking performance as Wicked's first Black Nessarose.
Her Broadway resume is extensive but it's her love of Tennis that led to her first billboard! Kimber and Zach spent some of the early days of their friendship bonding on the tennis court. And now these two actors examine the relationship between acting and sport.
Then it's out to the woodshed with Margaret Court. And in Gametime, we test our knowledge of sports-themed Broadway shows.

On this HISTORIC 7th Episode of Out Of The Closet Sports our special guest answers the unanswerable... "Why am I here?". We travel around the sports world to touch on stories that seem gay or at the very least gay adjacent. Speaking of gay adjacent, James Harden matches high drama with a perfectly coiffed beard. Maxx Crosby posts some soft-core on his socials. The San Diego Loyal is shutting down, does that mean the end for Collin Martin and out-gay males in professional American sports?
Our feature story this week is Dolly Parton bringing us gay Christmas in November. And she recently stepped out of her political closet to weigh in on the Tennessee anti-trans bills.
