southsideirish Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I just heard a rumor from a friend of mine that the former Chicago Bear Tom Thayer is gay. Is this true? Has anyone else ever heard this? I have nothing agaisnt gay people, I was just shocked to hear this rumor and I have never heard it before. Anyone?

israel4ever Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Here's an interesting story that has some relevance here. (Heard it from Kevin Matthews' show a long time ago!) In the 80s, Thayer was hanging out at a bar in LA, he was approached by Raymond Burr (Perry Mason), and propositioned by Burr. That's why Kevin used to use a Raymond Burr voice when mocking gay men. BTW...I don't think Thayer is gay, not that it matters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Closing this thread. Whether gay or not it doesn't matter. I realize SSI wasn't trying to start something, but I don't see where any good comes out of accusing or asking whether such and such athletes are gay.
