Reds Fans Hate Kevin Gregg

I know there's a lot to get to (Deflategate, A-Rod passing Willie Mays), but my favorite sports story is taking place in Cincinnati, where Reds fans are so angry with reliever Kevin Gregg that they started a Change.org petition to have him sent down to Triple-A. As of this writing (8:09 a.m.), the petition has just 206 supporters. I have a feeling that number will increase.

A-Rod Passes Willie Mays

Alex Rodriguez smacked his 661st home run last night to pass Willie Mays for fourth on the all time list and the Yankees celebrated with a fireworks display for the agesbarely acknowledged it on Twitter. In fact, the most exciting part of the game was this fan mooning the crowd while trying to grab a foul ball. Is it time to start rooting for A-Rod? These Yankee fans certainly think so.

Tom Brady Speaks

Tom Brady spoke for the first time since The Wells Report was released during an appearance at Salem State college with Jim Gray. He didn't say much, so let's discuss some other Deflategate happenings: Chris "Mad Dog" Russo went off on Tom Brady's father for speaking to the USA Today instead of appearing on talk shows ... Julian Edelman used Facebook to show his support for Brady ... New Jersey governor Chris Christie came out in support of the Patriots QB ... The widely-distributed Vine of Rob Gronkowski's somewhat explicit response to Deflategate is actually the very end of a good rant about how the media only cares about negative stories. Everyone just cut out the first 30 seconds and focused on the last five. (I did it also, so bad job by me.)

Lovely Lady of the Day

I'm still reeling from the hotness that was yesterday's LLOD Shauna LeValley and feel the best way to recover is with UFC Ring Girl Kahili Blundell. She earns today's honors (click here for full-size gallery).
