1. As a devotee of the National Football League (forget that XFL crap!), I’ve had the chance to view many players—and for the most part, it’s because of athletics. However, with Doug Flutie, it’s something else entirely. Gorgeous, talented, built, and devoted to causes (especially autism), I think he’s the total package—and hopefully, he’ll become a Chicago Bear again. (I just don’t understand what people see in Brett Favre.) Take a look at Flutie Haters www.angelfire.com/ny/flutiehaters/index.html. (They actually love Dougie, but they want him to come back to Canada—like THAT’S gonna happen.) However, I have one request of the site: more pictures!

2. With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, it seems like the perfect time to check out Gay-Ireland.com. The News page includes stuff that’s happening locally (“Popular Dublin DJ Comes Out”) and globally (“Gay Republican Activist Moves Into White House”) while Out and About details sights and organizations (Gay Irish Trekkies?). In addition, you can check out other items such as personal home pages, chat rooms, and even features on health & beauty.
