Proving Ricky Romero is a great sport

Here's a special sports front that was made for Ricky Romero after the Celtics defeated the Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals. Though never published, it was part of an inside joke as teammates and the media began ganging up Ricky and love for the Lakers. He actually did wear that Celtics No. 11 shirt (Glen "Big Baby" Davis) during batting practice one day, the result of losing a bet. 

And here is the postgame video of Ricky answering questions while his Lakers are getting crushed in Game 7. Watch the end of the video to see how the Fisher Cats decorated his locker. Brian Jeroloman was a big part of this:

Headlines you'll see from Spring Training

Storylines to watch for at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium in Dunedin:

Media buzz: new closer Sergio Santos. This time he's at big-league camp in Dunedin.

All eyes on: Kyle Drabek. Could be the X Factor to Toronto's rotation.

Rising star: Travis d'Arnaud is creating a nice catching problem for the Jays.

Breaking out: OF Colby Rasmus and 3B Brett Lawrie.

Friendly competition: Eric Thames and Travis Snider in left field.

Protection needed: Jose Bautista's 2011 season was even more impressive when considering his lack of protection. Adam Lind needs a bounce-back season in the five-hole.

Intriguing prospect: Moises Sierra. Earned a spot on the 40-man after a championship Double-A season. Sweet tools.

Live radio hit with Deck McGuire

Hey, Deck McGuire, thanks for joining us during a live WTPL Radio show in New Hampshire yesterday. The 2010 Blue Jays No. 1 pick phoned in and spoke with Bob Lipman and me on the Bob Lobel Show. We learn Deck was inspired by John Smoltz and Randy Johnson, and how he's daring to dream big in 2012. He'll mostly likely begin the season at Double-A New Hampshire but says, "No offense, but I'd really like to start in the big leagues. Whether I'm in Toronto or New Hampshire, I'm just going to embrace the opportunity and try to get better and try to help this organization win a World Series."

Gisele is not happy

This is video gold. Gisele Bundchen, who is hanging with Vince Wilfork's wife, rips her husband's teammates while standing at the elevator following the Super Bowl. In the background, you can hear New York Giants fans shouting at the supermodel, with one guy yelling, "Eli owns your husband!" Gisele does have a point. If Wes Welker made the catch with 4:06 to play, I believe the Patriots would've gone on to win Super Bowl XLVI. And while we're on the topic, in Super Bowl XLII, if Asante Samuel made the pick with 1:17 remaining, the New England Patriots would've beaten the Giants the first time around. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
