LEFTOVERS: Fans seeking face time

From the utterly creepy news department: London's Daily Mail reported Wednesday on the appearance of a pair of peculiar tennis fans.

Two Wimbledon spectators, one apparently male and one apparently female, were spotted with "a membrane of skin stretched tightly over their eyes, noses and mouths."

  • Basically, blank, expressionless masks.

    Basically, very, very eerie.

    This isn't the first time the two masked avengers have been seen at big events, though.

    "The faceless mutants have a penchant for A-list celebrity bashes and have been spotted at Elton John's white-tie ball and Harrods summer sale, opened by "Sex and the City" star Kim Cattrall," the Daily Mail's Alex Millson wrote.

    SO ANGRY HE COULD SPIT -- If Cosmo Kramer ever wants to vent about Keith Hernandez, he might have just found a friend.

    New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes apparently isn't so fond of the former National League Most Valuable Player, either.

    The New York Post reported a dustup between Reyes and Hernandez on the Mets' charter plane on Sunday night "after a tense confrontation over Hernandez's critical comments about the All-Star shortstop."

    After Reyes committed a throwing error in New York's 7-1 loss to St. Louis and responded by throwing his glove out of anger, Hernandez snapped about the player on the team's SNY TV network.

    "Well, he's got to get over that," Hernandez said at the time, according to one transcript of the broadcast. "Enough babying going on now. He's a grown man. He's been around a long enough time. Take off the kid gloves."

    On the flight, the two reportedly had to be separated as a confrontation about the comments almost escalated to blows.

    Kramer, "Seinfeld" fans will remember, once accused Hernandez of spitting on him after a Mets' loss.

    ROOKIE MISTAKE -- If Reyes vs. Hernandez is the main event of the day, consider Aqib Talib-Cory Boyd on the undercard.

    ProFootballTalk.com reported the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookies brawled at the NFL Rookie Symposium -- during a budgets and finance meeting.

    The two might receive a financial education the hard way if the league decides a fine is in order.

    THAT'S SHOE BIZ -- Adidas might be taking the "shoe wars" to another level.

    A news release provided by Nike about Team USA's new Olympic jerseys includes a photo of the team. While nothing appears doctored, some strategic placement of a basketball -- and USA coach Mike Krzyzewski -- conveniently hides the Nike logo on adidas-sponsored Dwight Howard's jersey and shoes.

    Could it be sheer coincidence? Sure.

    But the familiar swoosh is conspicuously covered by Howard's hand, and Coach K is blocking Howard's shoes.

    In a CNBC Sports Biz poll by Darren Rovell, 83 percent of nearly 5,300 responses did not think Howard's positioning was coincidental.
