Mount Fujita

ESPN reports that Super Bowl champ linebacker and marriage equality champion Scott Fujita signed a one-day contract with the New Orleans Saints on Monday and then announced his retirement after 11 seasons in the NFL:

Fujita signed his contract in Machu Picchu, which is located in the Andes Mountains in Peru. He's there with former Saints teammate Steve Gleason, who is battling Lou Gehrig's Disease. In a statement from the team, Fujita said he couldn't think of a better place to be to announce his retirement.  

"What better place to reach the end of the road than here at 10,000 feet above sea level, in the Peruvian Andes overlooking Machu Picchu with my dear friend Steve Gleason?" 

I hope he has a great post-football life. Remember his marriage-equality greatest hits HERE.

Andy Roddick Calls It a Career

 Andy Roddick lost his fourth-round match to Juan Martin Del Potro at the U.S. Open today, capping off a Hall of Fame worthy career. When I look at Andy I think how he hasn't changed a bit over the years -- give or take a few hairs on his head. It's only when you go through the photo archives do you remember he was sooooo young when he burst onto the tour 2000, with an adorable baby face straight out of Tiger Beat. The accolades are pouring in for the longtime face of American tennis -- and as a fan, I agree that the game will be much worse off without him. Here's wishing him a a second act that we can be part of, too!
