AfterElton Briefs: That's What I Call Ball Control, Eric Stonestreet's 'Stache, and Erasure's New Single!

Now that's what I call "ball control!"

• Outsports has a great story about a college football player who came out to his team ... in 1994.

• MTV's Awkward is going to be back for a second season, which is awesome. This means we can look forward to having the show's upcoming gay character get more screen time in Season 2. Yay!

• The MTV Video Music Awards are coming up and I'm guessing most of us don't have tickets to the show. Well, here is a chance to rectify that and do some good at the same time! All you have to do is enter your name and email addy, and you'll be entered for a drawing for two tickets. Plus, for every entry, UrbanDaddy is going to donate $1 to Lifebeat. So sign up now!

I couldn't resist a second sports pic because there
is just something adorable about these two!

• These pics are of the cast and crew of Modern Family arriving in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. No, they aren't on vacation. They are there to shoot an episode. Given I saw the cast at a party less than two weeks ago, there is no way Eric Stonestreet really has grown a mustache like that.
