Blue Power Ranger Reveals He Quit Show ‘Over Gay Insults’

David Yost, who played nerdy triceratops commander Billy on the ’90s kids show Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers , revealed that he left the series because he was “called ‘f*ggot’ one too many times [by the show’s] creators, producers, writers, directors.” He added that he became “worried that I might take my own life.” Sad. Arguably, if Yost had come out with this confessional during the run of the show, some of Rita Repulsa’s most destructive anti-gay initiatives could have been derailed. [ TMZ ]

Slow News Apocalypse: Will the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement Force the Oscars to Move?

Hope you’re sitting down for this one. As part of the Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations between NFL owners and players, the league is considering expanding its 16-game season to 18 games by 2012-13 . The thinking being that too much potential revenue is left on the table by having four preseason games each year, when two could suffice.
