73 year olds rumble during banquet
It seems some bad blood never dries.
Angelo Mosca clearly didn’t think Joe Kapp’s flower joke was all that funny Friday night at the Canadian Football League banquet in Vancouver.
Instead of saying “thanks,” Mosca told his 73-year-old former football rival to effectively stick the flower where the sun doesn’t shine.
What happened next can be called the septuagenarian fight of the century.
Mosca whacked Kapp with a microphone and a cane. Kapp went all Rocky III. Kapp, the only person to play quarterback in Rose Bowl, Grey Cup and Super Bowl games, delivered some extremely solid punches.
This wasn’t about a flower of course.
The grudge goes back 48 years to the Grey Cup between Kapp’s British Columbia Lions and Mosca’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Kapp, a San Francisco resident, told the newspaper that Mosca made a cheap shot, hitting another player late during the game.
“Here comes Mosca and he hits Willie (Fleming) in the head. I got into his face and cursed at him in two languages, English and Spanish. Willie won’t talk to him (to this day),” Kapp said. Kapp says on the video that he holds a grudge a really longtime. Do you?

TweetStory about Dayton tattoo artist who inked feces on girlfriend’s back bogus
From the get go, there was something extra stinky about the story that a Dayton tattoo artist had inked a big pile of something smelly on his girlfriend’s back.
Perez Hilton, The Sun, The Drudge Report and Metro were among the media outlets to jump on the story of a lawsuit filed against Ryan L. Fitzjerald of Dayton.
As the story went, Rossie Brovent asked Fitzjerald to tatoo a scene from the Narnia trilogy on her back. In an act of pure revenge, Fitzjerald tattooed a pile of feces on Brovent’s back instead. Fitzjerald was apparently enraged when he learned Brovent cheated on him with his best friend.
Brovent filed a lawsuit for seeking roughly $100,000. The problem? There is no record of the lawsuit in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court or any other area court system.
The Smoking Gun is also crying fowl.
It says the photo of the woman reported to be Brovent first surfaced online 18 months ago as part of a “Worst Tattoo of the Day” on the blog I Am Bored.
The story generated millions of hits online.
