It was bound to happen: Moss finds trouble

WDBO-AM Radio is reporting that Patriots’ wide receiver Randy Moss has been hit with a restraining order.

New England Patriot’s wide receiver Randy Moss has been hit with a temporary injunction for protection against dating violence.

According to the affidavit Moss committed a battery upon the victim causing serious injury and then refused to allow her to seek medical attention.

The affidavit out of Broward County reveals Moss cannot come within 500 hundred feet of the victim and cannot use or possess firearms.

Give him credit – at least he lasted this long before finally finding trouble. It’s important to note, however, that no criminal charges have been filed against Street Randy. It doesn’t sound like this will be a huge issue, but still, Bill Belichick and the rest of the Patriots don’t need this heading into their biggest game of the season.

Hi kettle this is pot – just called to say you’re black

SPORTSbyBROOKS.com posted a story by Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle about how Bud Selig is ready to suspend San Francisco Giants owner Peter Magowan and general manager Brian Sabean for looking the other way while Barry Bonds juiced up to the size of a small country.

Selig’s motivation would be, as noted by the Georgie Mitchell, Sabean’s repeated unwillingness to remove Barry Bonds’ (alleged) steroid supplier, Greg Anderson, from the Giants’ clubhouse. In the same report, Magowan told George Mitchell “that Barry Bonds admitted using steroids, Mitchell’s report on steroid use in baseball says. Magowan later attempted to withdraw the disclosure.”

So let me get this straight, Selig is going to punish two people for turning a deaf ear and a blind eye to a player who took steroids? Hey Bud, you’ve chosen to look the other way while your entire league has been on roids for over a decade. Now you’re going to punish other people for the same crime you’ve committed? Please.

In other news, Giants fans everywhere are rejoicing over the thought of Sabean possibly being suspended. At least for the length of his suspension, they don’t have to worry about him signing yet another centerfielder, trading young pitching stars for A.J. Pierzynski, or signing another past-their-prime player to a ridiculous contract.

Who says chivalry is dead? Pacman punches a woman

Current/former Tennessee Titans’ cornerback and national moron Pacman Jones reportedly sucker-punched a woman lawyer at a (shocker!) strip club in Atlanta.

Jones apparently entered the manager’s office, accusing the club of stealing money from him and falsely accusing his entourage of owing a tab. Jones reportedly lunged at the woman multiple times during the meeting, in what the lawyer said was an attempt at grave bodily harm. Jones didn’t connect until afterwards in the hallway, when he reached around a security guard to “sucker punch” the woman. Not only could this be a violation of Jones’ parole, it could result in the league delaying his March return to football activities, and certainly make the Titans less willing to welcome him back.

What’s most amazing about this unbelievable ass clown is that he keeps he keeps applying for reinstatement to the NFL. He and his cronies go out to a strip club, shoot two people, and then he wants to know when he can get back into the NFL. Then he gets busted racing his orange Lamborghini with no license and expired plates, and then he wants to know when he can get back into the NFL. Now he punches a woman in yet another strip club incident, and no doubt he’ll file for reinstatement into the NFL within a month.

This guy needs to be in jail, period. He’s clearly a complete head case and a risk to society.

Update: The woman withdrew the assault complaint.

Somebody get Jim Mora a map – he might be confused about where Washington is

Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Jim Mora is set to interview for the vacant head-coaching job in Washington. Does Jim know that it isn’t that Washington?

Just over a year ago, Mora went on a Washington (the state of, not DC) radio show and blabbed to the host about his desire to coach at his alma mater – The University of Washington.

Interviewer: If it ever works out, if there’s an opening, and you’re available, we want you to coach the Huskies.
Mora: Well, I really have a lot of respect for Ty, and I know he’ll do a great job. But if he ever decides to move on, and get in the NFL or you know, go back to Notre Dame or whatever, if that job’s open you’ll find me at the friggin’ head of the line with my resume in my hand ready to take that job.
Interviewer: If you’re available.
Mora: It doesn’t even matter if I’m available.
Interviewer: You would leave the Falcons for that job?
Mora: Absolutely.

Hey good news for him – he doesn’t have to leave the Falcons job now! He can go right to the friggin’ head of the line with his resume in hand, although he might be a little disappointed to find out that DC is a good 2,700-plus miles away from his apparent Huskies’ dream job.

No Colts-Patriots? Well, boo-hoo

Nick Canepa of the San Diego Union-Tribune hit the nail on the head when he writes that everyone needs to get over the fact that there won’t be a Colts-Patriots rematch.

I’m sick of this “marquee game” manure. I’m sick of the TV networks playing the ratings game..I’m sick of it all. Why play the games? Why bother? Just get those “American Idol” idiots to pick the Super Bowl finalists. Don’t have a regular season. Don’t have playoffs. Go straight to the Roman numerals.

This week we’re getting it from all sides. Chargers-Patriots isn’t nearly as sexy as Colts-Patriots. I don’t question that, although the Chargers have better players than the Colts.

“You can’t always get what you want,” I read in “USA Today” during a 90-hour flight from Indianapolis back to San Diego.

And that, no doubt, is true. The author knows what he’s doing. But it’s too damn bad. America did not get Colts-Patriots and Cowboys-Packers. That’s a shame. Win a game. Be somebody. Don’t go snorkeling with Jessica Simpson. Cut out a commercial or two and throw to someone other than Antonio Cromartie.

I’ll be the first to admit that I was disappointed that there won’t be another Colts-Patriots grudge match, but Canepa is right. The Colts didn’t win – the Chargers did. Peyton Manning and the Colts didn’t step up – (gulp) Billy Volek and the Chargers did. Who’s to say that the Chargers aren’t the ones destined to knock off the Patriots? The game will still be played whether the fans like the matchup or not, so stop the crying.
