This is brutal. The Philadelphia Phillies, it came as a pleasant surprise to me, have a Gay Day at the ballpark, where they had the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus sing the national anthem, and some other gay guy throw out the first pitch. There were, of course, a lot of gay fans in the house, too… and I think that’s a pretty progressive thing for a ballclub to do. Big ups to the Phillies people.

Of course, no group of people who are discriminated against in America can have a good time without some crazy right-wing jizzbags trying to ruin it. A group called Repent America (a terrifying name if there ever was one) had to show up and hang a big banner that said, “Homosexuality Is a Sin, Christ Can Save You.”

So there were some verbal confrontations, and a group of fans went and stood in front of the banner so no one could see it… stuff like that. Police officers had to accompany the Repent America cocksuckers so they didn’t get hurt by angry gay guys, which is a shame. That guy should’ve thrown off the top of Citizens Bank Park.

Even if you’re a Fallwell-following, Santorum-loving hate monger… Couldn’t you at least see that gay people have a hard go of it in life, and leave them alone? If you really think it’s wrong, if you really think it’s a sin, stay home and pray for their poor gay souls or something. Embarrassing behavior.

Randy Moss reportedly told HBO that he has smoked marijuana since he’s been in the league, and that he continues to do so. I’m not really sure why he doesn’t have the part of the brain that stops you from saying things that can get you in trouble, but I’m glad he doesn’t. Despite being an all-around fuckhead, it’s harder to hate him than it is most Raiders, mainly because of things like this.

Asked if he’s still using now, Moss said, “I might. I might have fun. And, you know, hopefully… I won’t get into any trouble by the NFL by saying that, you know. I have had fun throughout my years and, you know, predominantly in the offseason.”

I don’t think the NFL can suspend him without a positive test, but… I would imagine that they won’t be too thrilled about this quote. There may be grounds for a fine in there somewhere. If the NFL can do something, they will. And if there’s a fine to be given out, you know know it’s getting paid. Straight cash, homey.

So in the same week, we’ve got Tom Brady admitting that he masturbates while watching elderly Asian women get fucked by coyotes on the Internet, and Randy Moss admitting that he still likes to blaze. It’s an outstanding time to be an NFL fan right now.

Moss’s agent, Dante DiTrapano, is already working the spin control… “In an attempt to promote their dying network, they have maliciously couched his remarks in a manner that is confusing and leaves room for negative interpretation,” he said. According to Randy and his agent, he was talking about the past only. How very Mark McGwire of him.

Well, whatever was said or unsaid, I’m guessing that HBO has video of it, and we’re all probably going to see it. The way I read the AP story, it sounds like Moss was asked if he still smoked marijuana, and the next six words out of his mouth were, “I might. I might have fun.” To me, that’s a yes. So you might wanna make sure your spin is right, Dante

I think a better PR strategy for Team Moss might have been to listen to all the questions and respond by saying, “Um, dumbasses… you couldn’t have guessed that Randy Moss smoked pot? Do you know who Randy Moss is? Hey, I’ve got another hot rumor for you… I heard that 50 Cent has had premarital sex.”
