Yi Jianlian, who plays for the New Jersey Nets, is accused on lying about his age. He’s currently being investigated by the Chinese-language edition of Sports Illustrated which “claims he is one of many of the country’s athletes guilty of lying about their age on official documents.”

Basically Yi’s records from when he was a kid say he was born in 1984, whereas the Nets list him as being born in 1987.

Will the issue of Yi’s age come up again tonite since his team is facing the Houston Rockets? We’ll see.

What’s this? A kinder, gentler Randy Moss?

After the Patriots lost to the Colts last night, apparently Randy wasn’t happy with some of the officiating. Fox Sports says that some “of the Pats players thought the pivotal unnecessary roughness call on tight end David Thomas in the fourth quarter was questionable.”

That’s not unusual. Fans and players alike question officials, for right or wrong (or for someone to blame.) But it was Randy’s LACK of complaining that really surprised me. He said, “When things happen, you have to watch what you say. Guys don’t want to get fined. But there was some real iffy calls out there.”

For Randy, this is downright mild. Think he’s trying to soften up and become the LOVABLE Randy Moss? We shall see.
