TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When Moss signed with the 49ers, he will become the third receiver in NFL history to play at least one season as a 49er and have 150 career receiving TDs. Name the other two?
A: Terrell Owens (153) and Jerry Rice (197)

THE MORNING BREW NFL veterans look to elevate new teams
Terrell Owens and Randy Moss are two of the most prolific wide receivers in NFL history. Like them or not, they're back, and both are looking to make their mark on their new teams.
Owens came into the league in 1996 and has played for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, and now he looks to make an impact with his new team, the Seattle Seahawks.
One of the most memorable Owens moments is when he was playing for the 49ers. After catching a touchdown pass, Owens proceeded to pull a sharpie out of his sock and sign the football, which was then handed to a fan. Ten years later Owens is back, and he's playing for the team he did that against: the Seahawks.
The Seahawks signed the 38-year-old Owens to a one-year deal earlier this month with high expectations. The Seahawks and
Coach Pete Carol hope Owens will be able to contribute while also being able to mentor their young receiving core. Owens has had his ups and downs throughout his career.
Randy Moss is one of the best wide receivers the NFL has ever seen, and arguably the best deep threat to every play. Moss came into the league in 1998 and has played for the Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans, Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots, and now he looks to contribute to a loaded San Francisco 49ers roster in 2012. Moss is a seven-time pro bowler, holds the NFL single-season touchdown reception record for a rookie with 17 (set in 1998 with the Vikings), and also holds the overall NFL single-season touchdown record with 23 (set in 2007 with the Patriots). But similar to Owens, he's had his share of problems.
One of Moss' on-field flaws is the lack of effort he sometimes
shows. Moss has been known for jogging, not running precise routes and not always putting much effort into blocking. He has also tested positive for marijuana two times in the early 2000s.
In 2010 Moss was shuffled around for a majority of the season. He played for three different NFL teams that year, the Titans, Vikings and Patriots. Two years later, on March 12, 2012, the 49ers signed Moss.
The 49ers are coming off a great season in 2011 where they went 14-4, including the post-season. The 49ers already have one
of the best defenses in the league and have a plethora of weapons on offense. Along with Frank Gore, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, the 49ers also picked up running back LaMichael James from
the University of Oregon in the 2012 NFL draft. The 49ers also
picked up a big physical running back in Brandon Jacobs from free-agency this off-season. There are plenty of weapons on the 49ers this year, and I believe Moss will put forth a decent effort, because in the past he's played hard for the good teams he's been on. The opposing teams will not know what defenses to run if Moss can make plays downfield because of the power that running backs Frank Gore and Brandon Jacobs will provide in the running game.
I believe Owens feels like he has something to prove and doesn't want to be remembered as a diva.
Owens arrived to the Seahawks camp in excellent shape and ran precise routs. Moss is back and on a great team in the 49ers. Although the 49ers have numerous options on offense I believe Moss will still be able to make an impact with his big-play potential and be a threat to defenses in the red zone. I believe both Owens and Moss willshow their worth with their new teams, and when comparing the two, I look for Owens to have more receptions and yards, and for Moss to have more touchdown receptions.

Royals lose both the game and the series to Tampa Bay
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — James Shields took a three-hitter into the eight inning, leading Tampa Bay over the Kansas City Royals 5-3 Wednesday for the Rays' 16th win in 21 games.
Shields (12-7) retired 12 in a row after Alcides Escobar's two-out single in the third and allowed three runs and five hits in 7 2-3 innings. The right-hander struck out seven and walked one, improving to 4-0 with a 2.15 ERA in his last five starts.
Escobar ended Shields' day
with a two-out RBI triple in the eighth that pulled Kansas City to 4-2. Jake McGee allowed a run-scoring single to Alex Gordon, and Kyle Farnsworth retired Billy Butler on a grounder.
Jose Labaton homered off Aaron Crow leading off the bottom half, and Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 39th save in 41 chances.
Tampa Bay won two of three in the series, limiting the Royals to just five runs. Tampa Bay leads the AL with a 3.27 ERA.
Kansas City manager Ned Yost was ejected in the eighth by plate
umpire Scott Barry for arguing after Eric Hosmer took a called third strike.
Luis Mendoza (7-9) gave up two runs, five hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings.
Jeff Francoeur's RBI single put Kansas City ahead in the second, but the Bays took a 2-1 lead in the third on Ben Zobrist's sacrifice fly and Jeff Keppinger's RBI single. Ryan Roberts doubled in a run in the sixth, and the Raws made 4-1 in the seventh on an error at second by Escobar, who couldn't handle Francoeur's throw from right on Zobrist's double.
