Only a gay bar could offer this nightlife dichotomy: Queens cheering on a drag show on one floor with jocks cheering on their Super Bowl favs a floor above them.

But that was the scene Sunday at Blake’s as the worlds of football fans, football players, drag queens and their supporters collided. While the Armorettes performed their show on the first floor, the National Flag Football League of Atlanta was upstairs holding a social, signing up new recruits and cheering on the Saints and Colts.

The gay flag football league is readying for its spring season. First up is registering players, which runs through Feb. 28 and can be done online at their website. Then the rookies hit the fields for a mini-camp and evaluation process on Feb. 27-28 at Iverson Park.

In early March, the league will draft players and announce the results during a reveal event. That’s so “American Idol.” Then practice starts with the first official games kicking off March 13. The season concludes with a league championship on June 20.
