We may start a Sports Moron of the Week entry and we have an outstanding candidate for the inaugural award.

Our first honoree is some alleged dope from Philadelphia who is accused of sending a couple of letters to New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin in late July in which the man poses as a couple of women who are trying to extort money from Coughlin under the threat of exposing a supposed sexual relationship that occurred when the Giants and Eagles played last December.

Understand that apparently there was no sexual relationship and Coughlin and the women do not know each other and the women had nothing to do with the letters. 

The accused criminal mastermind here was a Herbert Alex Simpson, 30, who -- according to court papers -- admitted to investigators that he did all this as an act of revenge against the two women over some "work-related" issue. Simpson may have aggravated the situation when he allegedly made references to Coughlin's family in one the letters. Now Simpson is facing federal charges related to using the U.S. mail to extort money and make threats.  Here's the report from the Smoking Gun Web site along with the federal criminal complaint.
