Founder of the United States Gay Sports Network Tyler Foerster joins us this week on Out of The Closet Sports. USGSN is a national database of LQBTQIA+ sports leagues and tournaments sorted by state.

Tyler is a ferocious competitor and it was his obsession with stats that led him to launch this valuable website. He walks us through his journey and accomplishments (he remembers every one) and talks a little trash along the way. Then it's GameTime and I try to guess the acronyms for all of the queer sports leagues.

This week Out of The Closet Sports we welcome award winning playwright and screenwriter Christopher Shinn to the show. Some of our first gay thoughts were inspired by the sports films of our youth and we look back on our favorites.

Also, Chris has a crush! It's Jared McCain and who could blame him. We take a break from drooling to examine the not so veiled homophobia he faces for his TikTok fame and penchant for painting his nails. And then this week on game time we cast the future gay sports films of our dreams.

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?

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.
