Jaguars coach comes out as gay in first for US pro sports Jacksonville Jaguars associate strength coach Kevin Maxen came out as gay on Thursday in what is believed to be a first for a male coach in U.S. professional sports. Maxen, who has been with the Jaguars since 2021, told Outsports he made the decision to come out in hopes of inspiring others while being true to who he really is. “I don’t want to feel like I have to think about it anymore,” Maxen told Outsports. “I don’t want to feel like I have to lie about who I am seeing, or why I am living with someone else.” “I want to be vocal in support of people living how they want to live, but I also want to just live and not feel fear about how people will react.” Maxen has been involved in football for several years, playing for Division III Western Connecticut State University in college before working as a strength coach at Baylor and Vanderbilt. The strength coach said that he had wrestled with his sexuality in college but is hopeful Jaguars players will react positively to the news. Maxen told Outsports his accomplishments inside of football should quiet the doubters. “I have a pretty good sense of humor,” he said. “So a lot of the guys I can joke with and not take anything personally." Maxen said that being around staff and players on the team led him to his decision to want to come out. He saw others inside the organization introducing their families, and this made Maxen want to be able to do the same. Maxen said he’s been dating his boyfriend, Nick, for over two years, and said he felt guilty that he couldn’t share that part of his life and struggled to reconcile those feelings. In February 2022, Maxen reached out to Carl Nassib, who became the first NFL player to come out a year prior, as he decided on how and when to come out. “For a while I had such an anger for myself and hatred that I thought was from a fear of what others might think about who I am,” Maxen said. “But that wasn’t it. It was an anger and hatred of myself because I put myself in a life where I was living by other people’s rules and not by my own. “And I was right to be angry at myself for thinking that I had to live in the image of anyone else.” Jacksonville’s director of player development, Marcus Pollard, had positive things to say about Maxen. “In an environment that is diversifying, it is a privilege to work alongside Kevin who is hardworking, dedicated and thriving as a strength and conditioning coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars,” Pollard told Outsports. Maxen said he’s been with his boyfriend for two years.

If there’s one thing the St. Paul Saints know better than baseball, it’s pigs. When former team president Mike Veeck was taking a walk along the Mississippi River, he came across a historical marker that read: "St. Paul, formally known as Pig’s Eye Landing." Named after an old French trapper called Pig’s Eye Perrant, Veeck saw this history and knew he had to incorporate it somehow into the Saints franchise. So he sent a St. Paul staff member on a mission to find a pig to become the team's live animal mascot. The quest went all the way to Wisconsin, but eventually, the team struck gold. “That was really the first contract ever signed by the St. Paul Saints,” team GM Derek Sharrer said. “It wasn’t a player. It was a pig farmer.” For the past 30 years, the Twins’ Triple-A affiliate has engaged in the unique tradition of a ball pig who delivers baseballs and sports drinks to the home plate umpire, often with wonderfully punny names like 867-530Swine, Notorious P.I.G, Ham Solo, Kevin Bacon and SlumHog Millionaire, chosen by St. Paul staff via thousands of fan submissions. But as is the case with many long-standing rituals, sometimes changes must be made. The Saints, formerly an independent ballclub, used to only play a handful of home games that required a ball pig’s presence. As a Minor League franchise, they have 75 home games to play, and in the span of 150 total games, a pig will grow from 1 pound to over 300, at which point it becomes unmanageable. To accommodate this, the pig farmer recommended the team have two pigs, so the club decided on a first-half and second-half pig. Since the Saints now announce a new pig midseason, they recently conducted an in-game contest on social media in which fans submitted name suggestions and the staff picked a new one on the spot. So what’s the name of the 2023 second-half ball pig? None other than Squealon Musk.

Shouldn't the hot duck be the one being splashed with cold water, not you?

So brevity runs in the family? 😇😁😜

Ehh... you've seen one member, you've seen them all.

A couple of indelible Junior's memories: 1. We were sitting at a table by a window that faced the gymnasium/theater when I saw the first waterbug I'd ever seen, on the floor. FUN! 2. I still have the toolbox & tools my dad found on the sidewalk as we walked back to the car after my family ate there one night, which we often did when I was a young'n. Somebody must've been working on a car then forgot it because it was by the curb. BTW, Brooklyn's tallest building is being built next to Junior's, after they turned down beaucoup bucks to sell & move nearby.

Nothing. They'd pay ME for the privilege of being in my company.

Big Apple steal A look inside NYC's cheapest apartment — and what it's going for The listing price for this New York City co-op sounds so unbelievable that it may seem to be a hoax — but no, this isn’t a scam. A spacious alcove studio in Jamaica, Queens, is on the market for the rock-bottom price of $80,000, making it the cheapest residential property currently for sale within city limits, according to StreetEasy listing data. Despite the five-figure asking price, lead listing agent Mark Cisneros of Keller Williams says that the unit is a standard co-op and not one designated as a Housing Development Fund Corporation, more commonly known as an HDFC. (Those are co-ops that are earmarked with strict financial requirements to give low-income New Yorkers affordable housing.) Still, the sale of this unit does come with some fine print. The requirements to be considered, Cisneros says, are that owners must have a minimum annual income of $40,000 for three consecutive years and a net worth of at least $25,000. Located on a quiet residential street in Jamaica near the bustling thoroughfare of Jamaica Avenue and the main branch of the Queens Public Library, the studio is large and sun-drenched, according to Cisneros. The unit has hardwood floors and a full kitchen. No, it doesn’t have a dishwasher, but there is counter space and cabinets, though the listing images show the space could use an update — which the listing price can afford. While not a walk-in, the closet for clothes, shoes and “stuff” in general isn’t minuscule either — nor is the bathroom that fits a full bathtub. The co-op is situated in Avalon Terrace: a clean, well-kept building constructed in 1963 with an elevator, a laundry room and a garage. Its asking price puts it nearly $20,000 below the city’s next least-expensive listing: a 650-square-foot one-bedroom co-op in Spuyten Duyvil — an area of The Bronx that’s very close to Inwood in Manhattan — asking $96,154, whose listing says there’s already an accepted offer. That home hit the market last Thursday. Cisneros says that the Queens apartment has been on the market since June 21st and generated strong interest right from the start. “We got multiple offers from day one,” he said. “The lowest offer was for the asking price, and most were above $100,000. Numerous were all-cash offers. Right now, we have an accepted offer that’s in the six figures, but it’s not in contract yet.” Cisneros declined to give specifics on the seller, only revealing that it’s a family that has owned the co-op for several decades. In his StreetEasy description of the property, Cisneros cites rental data on the area to entice bidders: according to the research firm Rentometer, he says, the average rent of a studio per month in Jamaica is $1,980. Monthly mortgage and maintenance payments — the latter being $630, StreetEasy shows — for the property to work out to be less. Jonathan Miller, the president and chief executive of the real estate appraisal and consulting firm Miller Samuel, says the average sale price for a co-op in Queens is about $340,000, per his market report series for Douglas Elliman. “We are used to looking at the headline numbers like these, but these market numbers are averages, meaning prices can be much higher and lower,” he said. “You don’t hear about them, but there are a fair amount of apartments that come up for in New York that cost under $100,000,” he added. “We’re all so obsessed with the high-end market that all of our attention goes there.”

I think you should plan afterparty across the street at Juniors. Maybe you can get a tour there as well as some samples!

I think I read about that. Wasn't there some kind of controversy because some of the rabbits wore masks and others refused to?
