TO has a laugh at McNabb's expense<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSure, it didn\u2019t help that Randy Moss openly declared his love for the Patriots or that his diva mentality was reportedly rubbing off on Percy Harvin. But another factor contributed to the Vikings waiving Randy Moss.<\/p>\n
Apparently, Randy Moss embarrassed the team during its Friday dinner \u2013 a Vikings tradition in which a local food establishment brings a catered meal to the locker room. While the rest of the team gobbled up the chicken, ribs and so on from the popular mom-and-pop restaurant, Moss paced up and down the room. He reportedly yelled \u201cWhat the [expletive]? Who ordered this crap? I wouldn\u2019t feed this to my dog!\u201d<\/p>\n
One Vikings player said Moss \u201cdeserved to be cut after that\u201d and that \u201cyou just felt so sad for [the restaurant staff]. I had never seen anyone treated like that. And by the way, the food was actually really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Donovan McNabb\u2019s fitness coming into question after Mike Shanahan benched him on Sunday, I suppose it was only a matter of time before Terrell Owens seized the opportunity to take a pot shot at his former quarterback.<\/p>\n
During his radio show with Chad Ochocinco, the \u201cT. Ocho Show,\u201d Owens hinted: \u201cWell, I don\u2019t really want to start anything, but I did play in the Super Bowl and there were rumors where he couldn\u2019t get our two-minute offense going at the end of the game. I\u2019m just saying.\u201d<\/p>\n
MLB news: Yankees intend to pursue Cliff Lee; World Series ratings tank<\/strong><\/p>\nAny doubts about the Yankees pursuing Cliff Lee in free agency can be erased. What did we expect? It\u2019s the Yankees. Of course they\u2019ll come after the top available arm. Their first priority is re-signing stalwarts Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte but, after that, you can bet they\u2019ll table a nine-figure offer for the dominant lefty Lee. <\/p>\n
As much as baseball fans claimed it was \u201cexciting\u201d to see two new teams in the World Series, the TV ratings suggest everyone would\u2019ve rather watched a Yankees\/Phillies rematch. The 2010 World Series\u2019 8.4 rating and 14 share matched the record-low set by the 2008 Phillies\/Rays World Series.<\/p>\n
NBA news: Magic\/Knicks game postponed due to asbestos scare<\/strong><\/p>\nEverybody out of the building! The Orlando Magic and New York Knicks\u2019 game at Madison Square Garden, scheduled for last night, was postponed due to an asbestos scare. While maintenance staff did some maintenance in the attic above the arena\u2019s ceiling, some debris fell into the arena and may have contained asbestos-related materials. Wait \u2013 MSG has an \u201cattic?\u201d Who knew?<\/p>\n
To top it off \u2013 Magic center Martin Gortat called New York \u201ca dirty, dirty place.\u201d Atta boy.<\/p>\n
NHL news: Zach Parise out three months; Dion Phaneuf suffers deep cut on leg<\/strong><\/p>\nThe news was worse than expected for the struggling New Jersey Devils regarding their captain, Zach Parise. He has a torn right meniscus. He had successful surgery to repair it and is expected to make a full recovery but will miss roughly three months.<\/p>\n
The diagnosis is foggier for Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf. He suffered a deep cut on his leg when he got tangled up with Ottawa\u2019s Peter Regin during Toronto\u2019s loss last night. The cut was bad enough to hospitalize him. No word yet on his full diagnosis \u2013 but you can get updates by checking Elisha Cuthbert\u2019s Twitter feed. Seriously. She\u2019s his woman.<\/p>\n
NCAA football news: Mississippi State DE Nick Bell dies of cancer<\/strong><\/p>\nMississippi State got some tragic and relatively unexpected news this week when defensive end Nick Bell died of cancer. He was only diagnosed in late September after experiencing headaches during practice. Doctors found a mass in his brain and removed it on October 1. Later, however, they learned the cancer had spread throughout his body. They tried to save him with emergency surgery this week but it was too late.<\/p>\n
Bell played in four games this season and started two of them. He made seven tackles, including two for losses. Our hearts go out to the Bell family.<\/p>\n
