Gaybowl 10 is on its way, and after my visit to Phoenix two weeks ago and my conversations with Jared and his Committee, this tournament is going to be incredible! 20+ teams coming together in the Valley of the Sun for 4 days, as if Phoenix wasn’t HOT enough already!

BOSTON GAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE FEATURED ON ELLEN!
The Boston gay football league put together a fun video of league members dancing to Jai Ho in hopes of getting the attention of Ellen Degeneres. Mission accomplished. Ellen showed a clip of the video earlier this month. See it yourself here:
