Is it just us, or does Randy Moss have a moon fixation? Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images

1. Raiders receiver Randy Moss admitted in an interview that he has smoked marijuana since entering the NFL and that he still smokes it "every blue moon." It's still not clear whether that is more or less often than Moss pretends to moon opponents.

2. The most entertaining aspect of the "revelation" that Moss smokes weed is the reaction of the player's agent, Dante DiTrapano. In an effort to discredit the report on HBO's Real Sports, DiTrapano told The Associated Press, "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." The fact that HBO is a "dying network" will come as a big surprise to Emmy voters and to my TiVo. The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage are the TV equivalent of Murderer's Row. Perhaps DiTrapano is a disgruntled Six Feet Under fan upset that the show is ending.

3. An Akron, Ohio, jury sided with LeBron James on Friday, ruling in the NBA star's favor in a multimillion dollar dispute with an entertainment producer. James had been wary of the result because, to his shock, he wasn't allowed to pick the jury.

4. Two mutual fund companies that invest in socially responsible firms have given passing grades to Nike, citing the company's improved employment practices. In fact, many of the workers who assemble the company's products now earn enough in a year to actually afford a pair of Nikes.

5. Jeremy Mayfield won Sunday's Nextel Cup race in Michigan by running the last 52 laps on a single tank of gas while the rest of the leaders stopped to refuel. Rival drivers credited the apparently bold fuel strategy, but it turns out that Mayfield just couldn't afford a refill.

6. Do you find street luge or bungee jumping too tame to feed your adrenaline rush? Perhaps Hawaiian lava sledding is for you. That's right, sledding (typically face-first) down a course of hardened lava rocks at speeds of up to 70 mph. It might sound like something the X Games generation dreamed up, but it's actually a 2,000-year-old Hawaiian tradition called he'e houla. The practice mostly disappeared around 1825 until Tom "Pohaku" Stone, a 54-year-old community college professor, began to re-popularize it about a decade ago. How long before he'e houla is a roadblock or detour on The Amazing Race?

7. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez bought an $7.5 million apartment earlier this month at Trump Park Avenue. The 5,000-square-foot apartment includes four bedrooms, six bathrooms and zero World Series rings.

8. The Orioles' Rafael Palmeiro reportedly has passed through waivers, which means he could be traded this month. Palmeiro was simply relieved that he passed something.

9. Minor league promotion of the week: The Potomac Nationals of the Carolina League plan to hold the first-ever "Hairiest Back at the Ballpark" contest before Thursday's game against Salem. The winner will receive a complimentary laser hair removal service valued at $2,500. That's got to be a tough event in which to finish second. Sorry, sir, while your back hair is certainly grotesque, it looks like you're stuck with it. Please enjoy the game!

10. Royals owner David Glass wants Jackson County, Mo., to spend about $200 million for upgrades to Kauffman Stadium. When the renovations are complete, the team plans to trade the stadium for mediocre prospects.
