Jasmine Waltz, who, as far as I can tell, is famous for having a sex tape. She's not a porn star, though. Go ahead, try and make sense of that.Randy Moss announced Monday that he would be retiring from football. This ends one of the most electric, exciting, confusing, frustrating and controversial careers the NFL has ever seen. Moss never won a Super Bowl, although he came close twice, and was a member of two of the best regular-season teams ever put on the field. He's the best deep threat the NFL has ever seen, and maybe ever will, but his lack of work ethic (perceived or not) and non-football issues (this is a guy who got kicked out of Florida State in the Bobby Bowden days, for crying out loud) will make people argue about where he stands on the list of best receivers of all time. In my personal opinion, he's No. 2, right behind Rice, because even when he wasn't trying, you had to know exactly where he was, and probably with two people. (Star Tribune)
The game is now two days old, but that hasn't stopped the talk surrounding the Tigers 3-2 win Sunday against the Angels. Jered Weaver is reportedly going to receive a six-game suspension for throwing at the head of Alex Avila. Say what you will about the antics that went on during the game which may have broken baseball's unwritten rules, but Weaver's action was the only thing that could have done any actual damage to anything other than someone's pride. How him throwing a ball at someone's head isn't the biggest talking point coming out of this thing is mind-boggling to me. (LA Times)
The Tigers open a three-game series tonight with the Rangers. This is a biggie, just because the Rangers made moves at the deadline which made them one of the favorites to win the American League again. No, it's not a Central Division opponent, but if the Tigers are going to win the Central like I -- and more importantly, Tony Paul -- think they will, every series is a biggie. (DetNews)
Joey Harrington spent the night in the intensive care unit of a hospital after being hit by a car while riding his bike in Oregon. It was at 8:30 p.m., so it wasn't dark enough to blame it on that. Perhaps the driver was an Oregon State fan. The driver, by the way, was cited for "following too close." No shit? You think he was too close? (Freep)

Gabrielle Giffords returned last night to cast a vote for the debt bill. It passed, easily, and would have without her vote. But still, not bad returning from being shot in the head less than a year ago. (Huffington Post)
Last but certainly not least, I don't often find a story so interesting before I read it that I feel compelled to e-mail it to myself, but I did with this one on the raid that got bin Laden. So far, twitter loves it, or at least the majority of the 439 people that I follow, anyway. (New Yorker)
Today's Amazingness comes from the Lonely Island. Not sure why I haven't bought this album yet.
