Bill Simmons’ Ill-Fated Randy Moss Jersey For Sale on Ebay
Bill Simmons was at the Super Bowl and he forgot to pack his lucky Wes Welker jersey. (New England fans, you can blame him for bringing bad luck to the team, if you want.) So, he decided to spend $85 on a Moss jersey for the game and it then became famous in his post-Super Bowl column.
Much like the Patriots, I choked heading into the weekend: Somehow, I forgot to pack my good-luck Wes Welker jersey and headed to Sunday’s game without any Pats gear. Originally intent on buying a Pats hat at the game, once I saw all the jerseys in the stands and in my section, I made the executive decision to fine myself $85 dollars (the price of a white No. 81 Moss jersey at one of those merchandise booths). You can currently find that jersey sitting at the bottom of the garbage can in my hotel room. I might take it home and burn it. I haven’t decided yet.
Apparently he has now decided what to do with it. He is auctioning it off to benefit The Jimmy Fund. If you want to make a nice contribution to cancer research, go ahead and head on over to Ebay and bid up the jersey. I am not sure what you are going to do with it, but it should make a nice prize for someone.
Maybe you can buy it and replace Moss’ name on the back of it when someone else wears that number for the Pats next year. Randy is an ingrate and I wouldn’t expect him to realize the value of his roster spot in New England.
