The problem is the aperture which isn't really fast with most of them.
The DA*60-250 is one of the faster one but doesn't have the reach like you said.
BTW the IQ of the DA*60-250 is very good, it was the pre-production models that had some problems but have heard only good things about the lens beside the what slowish SDM focus.
I think your best bet would be the 120-400mm
Or the Sigma 100-300 and use the 1.4 teleconverter from them to extend the range when needed.
For sport I don't think you need more then over 300mm

Andrew Bokeh is something quite personal, so what someone consider as bad might do wonderful in a photo.
The photo from Doug is one of the lesser pleasant Bokeh.
You can see in the top middle the halo/doughnut shape disks and those make the photo quite nice now but it can just as easily make the whole blurred background far too busy.
What we want to see is a evenly light distribution over the disk or a brighter core.
With your photos it's quite hard to see with what kind it's build up so can't say.
David, I like what the FA 70-2200 has done with the hard background. Certainly the ground is hard to render and the lens did well.

Will your photo looks very nice and not just the bokeh!
I believe the older lenses have a better bokeh then the newer one because of the correction they do to make the lens sharper.
