'It makes my stomach turn,' an anguished Angela told us. 'But we want to humanize this. One in four women are sexually assaulted. We want this guy caught.' Lipka says she was attacked Wednesday morning in her Staten Island home. 'He offered me money for sex,' Lipka said yesterday from Staten Island University Hospital. 'When I refused, he raped me. He beat me up real bad. I'm bruised and bloody.' An NYPD spokeswoman confirmed that Lipka reported the attack to a detective at Staten Island's 123rd Precinct. 'It is being investigated,' she said. 'There have been no arrests. They're still conducting interviews.' Lipka's father is Andrew Lipka, formerly known as the punk musician Drew Blood."

Corey
Wow, yes, definitely Corey the wise! Now there is a young man that just "gets it". He obviously has a firm grasp on the legal system and simply understands the way things work in America.

Rob Neyer on Clemens:

Was anybody just a little put off by Roger Clemens last night? He acquitted himself on the mound quite well, once the first inning finally ended. I'm talking about the interview with Clemens that aired, in bits and pieces, before and during the game. At one point, Clemens (in a separate spot) was described -- and this is an exact quote -- as "a phenomenal human being."

Taken literally, I'm sure that's true. There aren't many human beings who can do what Clemens can do. But in our common vernacular, isn't "phenomenal human being" generally reserved for human beings who do something a bit more selfless than devote themselves to throwing a ball in exchange for vast sums of money? Wouldn't "phenomenal athlete/capitalist" be a bit more accurate, and leave "phenomenal human being" for beings who might deserve it, like inner-city schoolteachers or Peace Corps volunteers or overpaid baseball writers?

OK, maybe not that last one. But you get the point.

What really bothered me wasn't that, exactly. What really bothered me was that a few minutes later, Clemens was shown talking about how much it bothers him that other pitchers aren't willing to do all the incredibly hard work that he's done. Maybe this part of the interview was left on the cutting room floor, but does Clemens ever feel blessed for having been born with a rear end the size and strength of Texas and a lightning bolt in his right arm?

Don't get me wrong, I respect Clemens for all the work he's put into his craft, and as I've written in this space, I think he's the greatest pitcher since Tom Seaver (at least). But hey, Rocket, how about a little humility? Is that so much to ask?

(P.S. After the game, Clemens said more obnoxious things about how great he is.)

The Redskins changed backup QBs Oct. 22, signing Tim Hasselbeck and cutting Rob Johnson. Hasselbeck has spent the last two training camps with Philadelphia. He spent one game on Carolina's roster last year, then he appeared in two games with the Eagles as a holder late in the season. Undrafted out of Boston College, Hasselbeck has also spent time in training camp with Baltimore and has played in NFL Europe.

The Smoking Gun: Archive: "It's not exactly 'Dewey Defeats Truman,' but the New York Post made a colossal error today on its editorial page.

The editorial concluded, 'Wait'll next year!' Obviously, the Post piece was drafted while the Yanks were trailing the Sox, but was--unbelievably--not yanked when the club tied the game in the eighth inning and won it on Aaron Boone's walkoff home run in the 11th."

New York Daily News - Daily Dish & Gossip - Rush & Molloy: Donna recalls Summer-time blues: "The Artist Once Again Known as Prince may not be playing concerts any more, but he is making house calls.

The devout Jehovah's Witness recently startled a Jewish couple in Eden Prairie, Minn., by ringing their doorbell and asking to come inside and discuss his faith.

He was accompanied by former Sly and the Family Stone/Graham Central Station bass player Larry Graham.

The pint-size popster showed up around 2 p.m. on Oct. 5, just before the start of Yom Kippur, according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune. The resident, identified only as Rochelle, recalled telling the Prince-ling: 'You know what? You've walked into a Jewish household, and this is not something I'm interested in.'

'He says, 'Can I just finish?'

'Then the other guy, Larry Graham, gets out his little Bible and starts reading scriptures about being Jewish and the land of Israel.'

A woman answering the description of Prince's wife, Manuela Testolini, was waiting in a black truck outside. Rochelle said the three drove off together and appeared not to call on any other houses on the street.

Prince's lawyer, Londell Macmillan, told us the star was 'very committed' to the Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eden Prairie couple also noted their annoyance that he showed up in the middle of a Minnesota Vikings game."

Dallas Cowboys Official Website: "'Protecting His House'

Cowboys defensive end Eric Ogbogu is one of the most visible players on the roster. It's just that most people don't realize as much.

While Ogbogu is mostly a backup, he gets major face time starring in a commercial for Under Armour athletic apparel. In the TV commercial, it's Ogbogu who stands in the middle of several players, shouting 'We Must Protect This House.'

While he stands out in the commercial, he had a standout performance against the Jets, whom he played for in 1998.

Ogbogu forced a fumble in the second quarter, which the Cowboys converted into their first touchdown. Ogbogu also had four tackles.

And it was Ogbogu who could be heard screaming 'We must protect this house' as he was entering the Cowboys locker room after the game."

New York Post Online Edition: sports: "In the second quarter, something so fabulous happened for FSU that its entire team and its tens of thousands of fans in the stands jumped for joy. Man, they were happy. Even ABC's commentators, Brad Nessler and Bob Griese, got all pumped up.

Heck, if one didn't know that it was early and Miami was up, 6-0, one might have thought that FSU had just won the game.

The joyous eruption was caused by FSU defensive back Stanford Samuels, who, on the full run, had laid Miami receiver Roscoe Parrish down, then out, with a brutal and illegal helmet-first hit to the chest.

No flag was thrown and the need for one went unmentioned on ABC, despite replays showing the contact to have been in violation of rules designed to prevent both victim and assailant from spinal cord and neurological injuries.

And as Parrish, 5-9 and 163 pounds, struggled for his next breath, Samuels posed and preened and accepted the congratulations of his teammates and the delighted approval of FSU's fans."

Hines Ward
DawgPost.com -- Interview with Georgia Great Hines Ward:DawgPost.com columnist Dean Legge recently conducted an exclusive interview with Hines Ward, former Georgia Bulldog and current Pittsburgh Steeler. Ward gained 3,870 all-purpose yards as a running back, receiver, and kick returner during his career at Georgia from 1994-1997. Ward also passed for 918 yards which doesn't include a 413 yard passing performance in the 1995 Peach Bowl against Virginia. Bowl statistics aren't counted in the official record book. "When asked about role models he only talks about his mother. She taught me to treat others the way that I wanted to be treated Ward only knew how to get what he wanted through hard work and sacrifice, something that he learned from his mother first hand. Young Ward raised her son Hines with the help of no one, in a country where she knew no one and did not speak the language. The sacrifices that Young Ward made for her only son are too numerous to name, but clearly Ward appreciates everything that she has done for him.

Hines Ward developed his modesty from his mother, she taught me to always be humble in everything that you do. Perhaps most known while at Georgia for his ability to play several different positions, Hines Ward was never given the credit due for being the team player that winning teams need. His unselfish style gave him the opportunity to give back to his mother, but only after more struggles while in college.

In his four years at Georgia, Hines Ward played several positions. From quarterback, to running back, to wide receiver, Ward was used whenever and wherever the coaching staff needed him. But Ward found himself in situations sometimes where he felt like he was being used to save jobs."

I found this when looking up the fact Hines Ward is half Korean. So this confirms our suspicions that Chad and Johnny Morton have chinky eyes. Eric Morton should have joined DAO.

"In a debate with ESPN NFL reporter John Clayton as to how the Jets can best utilize Curtis Martin - neither man mentioned that the score of the game generally dictates how RBs are used - Salisbury declared that the Jets are 18-2 when Martin rushes 25 or more times and, 'That's the only stat that matters!'""

Poor Paris
New York Post Online Edition: gossip: "NEW Yorkers aren't the only people fascinated by the antics of Paris Hilton and Tara Reid. The Miami Herald's Lesley Abravanel spotted O.J. Simpson at the Astor's Metro Kitchen & Bar 'admiring Paris Hilton's derriere (to her visible and audible disgust) and professional party gal Tara Reid losing her cookies in front of Opium before heading out with bosom buddy Paris to Space 34, where the two stayed until 11 a.m.' The Herald mocked as the 'best or worst performance' what it called a tie between Reid's asking for a Diet Coke 'as she was being handed two vodka-cranberries, and Paris Hilton's trying to book a flight in coach from Miami to Chicago from the handicapped stall of American Airlines Arena's ladies room ('I'm a supermodel,' she told the agent on the phone).' Paris went to the Windy City to watch Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher play."

Also from the Sports Guy:

While arguing that Donovan McNabb was overrated -- a point also made in this column just last week -- Rush Limbaugh claimed that the media was pushing for a black QB to succeed, so they pumped up McNabb and made him seem better than he really was. This wasn't much different than Isiah Thomas claiming that Larry Bird would be "just another good player" if he were black, was it? Didn't think so. But everyone let Isiah off the hook, while Limbaugh has been barbecued for a solid week. Go figure. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it ... it's just interesting, that's all.

DRUDGE REPORT 2003®: "BUSH EXPRESSES SUPPORT OF LIMBAUGH; HOST TO RETURN TO AIRWAVES AT NOON; ENQUIRER HELD STORY FOR TWO YEARS

**Exclusive**

President Bush expressed support of radio star Rush Limbaugh in conversations with top staff on Thursday, a senior administration source told the DRUDGE REPORT.

'Rush is a great American,' the president said of the beleaguered host, who has championed the conservative movement for decades. 'I am confident he can overcome any obstacles he faces right now.' "

Not Ready for Prime Time
I hate what the right has to say about Rush and I hate what the left has to say too. It's not fair to compare Rush to Jimmy the Greek and Michael Savage.

Anyway, this was interesting - "Limbaugh's last show had the highest rating for the program in seven years. "

I will miss Rush and his ugly ties.

Did they say improved memory?

My last two comments about Rush:
1) Can I please see a photo with the look on Tim Jackson's face when Rush made the comment.
2) Can ESPN please interview Al Sharpton to replace Rush.

Rush Limbaugh Was Right - Donovan McNabb isn't a great quarterback, and the media do overrate him because he is black. By Allen Barra
This guy doesn't mention how bad the offense was before McNabb got the starting job. Look at what he started with. It's still the same below-average cast of RBs and WRs. Let's talk about how Brad Johnson would function in that offense.

Poor Jessica
New York Post Online Edition: gossip: "WHEN Mariah Carey had her meltdown, it generated the phrase 'pulling a Mariah,' and now another celebrity has unwittingly inspired her own new turn of speech. Thanks to her stunningly stupid performance on MTV's reality show 'The Newlyweds,' Jessica Simpson has now spawned the term 'pulling a Jessica' - defined as being stupid, snobby or behaving like a spoiled-brat airhead. The term has already made an appearance with commentators on CNN and is in use on the music insider Web site the velvet rope."

What a bad day for Rush.

Talk-radio titan Rush Limbaugh is being investigated for allegedly buying thousands of addictive painkillers from a black-market drug ring.
