Moss Mask

Randy Moss had some fun yesterday at Gillette Stadium, inspired by a fan wearing a Moss Mask.

Randy and his teammates were reacting to this picture of the guy on the jumbotron screen at the stadium.

Unfortunate Series Of Events At The US Open

Fall Is In The Air

Time to get back into college football, and to verify that neither the Penn State mascot nor the USC cheerleaders have changed their uniforms in at least forty years. (Click on the images for more detail.)

Totally Gratuitous Football Post

I visited the Patriots training camp the other day, which happened to be Tom Brady's birthday.

His teammates gave him a cake.

It's great to have the boys back in town.

Million Dollar Baby

For anyone who was inspired and moved by Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby," you just have to be rooting for Gina Carano this Saturday night:

"Enrolled in psychology classes at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Carano was 30 pounds too heavy, rudderless, half-lost to drinking and chatting up other girls’ boyfriends by the time a friend’s muay Thai instructor finally called her a mess. And the church of athletic redemption narratives found itself another lost soul.

“I’ve only answered to God, sometimes my family, sometimes not, and fighting,” Carano said. “No relationship, no boyfriend, girlfriend; it’s the only thing that has kept me focused.”

"In time she was traveling the world, taking fights in Thailand and staving off concerned relatives. After a while she started making money. After a while she developed a sense of mission.

“I want it to be easier for other females to be able to walk into a gym and train, because it changed my life,” she said. “I live in Las Vegas, where it’s difficult to meet a gentleman who doesn’t think of you as a stripper or a piece of meat. I like the training and the lifestyle. I get to wake up and focus on myself and being better. It eliminates all the drama when you have to think about somebody punching you and taking your head off.” New York Times

Her next fight is on Showtime, August 16.

As a voracious consumer of Boston sports, and as one who grazes in the fields of sports radio from time to time, I think a real "ROCK Jock" like Kay Hanley, of Letters To Cleo, would be a terrific addition to the local radio scene.

Just Add Ice

It's great to hear that the 2010 NHL Winter Classic will be played at Fenway Park!

Let's hope it's not 60 degrees on 1/1/10.

A Night Out For The President

"Like basketball? There was Mr. Obama sitting courtside recently alongside astonished fans at the Verizon Center as he cheered on the Chicago Bulls in a losing battle against the Washington Wizards." (New York Times)

I'm trying really hard here not to make a lame mother-in-law joke, so let me just say that it's really nice to see President Obama out and about in the world:
