Today marks a big day for me. In more than a year on the NASCAR beat, I'd yet to come across a story so shocking, so completely unexpected and at odds with what I think I know about the world, that it made me spit coffee all over the screen of my computer. This morning I found that story, and I guess it means from this point forward, nothing is beyond the realm of possibility. Before I head to the kitchen to grab a roll of paper towels, let's try to work through this together.

Inspired by the efforts of NFL players who have preceded him into the motorsports arena, New England Patriots All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss announced plans Tuesday to field a Moss Motorsports team in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series.

Hmm. NFL players? Was Moss actually inspired by Hall of Fame Racing, the outfit owned until recently by former Cowboys quarterbacks Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach? In two seasons, HOF Racing never won a race and managed just two top-five finishes in 72 events. Hardly the stuff of inspiration. Perhaps he means Joe Gibbs, whose success in NASCAR is well-documented.
