Nothing as profane as Romanowski

To the NFL it's naughty to be "GAY" but OK to be "BIN LADEN." You can be a "NAZI" but not a "LESBIAN." Even a gay man with the last name Gay can't buy a jersey.

This rather bizarre conclusion is reached when trying to order a personalized jersey from the NFL Shop, the online merchandise site run by the league. Anyone trying to buy a jersey with the single word "GAY" or "LESBIAN" or "GAY PRIDE" on the back gets a rejection message that states: "This field should not contain a naughty word."

I find it funny that this is just becoming "news." Well, OK, it was on Wonkette. Us Patriots fans have known this for months.

Speaking of Romanowski, I remember seeing a blurb in Tuesday's USA Today--the official paper of TDYs--that Romanowski was being sued for one of his many assults. Thought Cory would appreciate that.
