Dolphins star's long trip into self: "Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams is equal parts artist and eccentric, which makes it very difficult to say what was the most interesting part of his Australian vacation.
Was it that he stayed in cheap, crowded Australian hostels, bunking in small rooms with strangers and students, waiting in line to use the community bathroom?
Or was it that, on a whim, he purchased a 1974 Volkswagen van -- ''like Scooby Doo's,'' he says -- and slept in it while driving for days across the dangerous, desolate Outback?
Was it that he got up one morning and, just because, he shaved off his famous dreadlocks, throwing away the $750,000 Gillette's marketing people had offered for the right to build an advertising campaign around that moment?
Or was it that he would stop while on those 16-hour drives to nowhere in particular to work on his photography, read books, write in a journal, surf, meditate, enjoy anonymity and question everything from democracy to religion to himself?"

"The other day, he was watching a Chris Rock special and, just like that, he decided to sell his Ferrari and Hummer so he could help 100-plus underprivileged kids get a good education."

Simply terrible. This guy didn't even know Pat Tillman personally.

UMass grad student: Tillman's not a hero

AMHERST, Mass. -- A University of Massachusetts student has openly criticized Pat Tillman, calling the former NFL player a Rambo-like idiot in the school paper.

The column in question was submitted by graduate student Rene Gonzalez and published Wednesday in the Daily Collegian. It was titled "Pat Tillman is not a hero: he got what was coming to him."

...

"You know he was a real Rambo, who wanted to be in the 'real' thick of things," Gonzalez writes in his column, which is posted on the collegiate paper's Web site. "I could tell he was that type of macho guy, from his scowling, beefy face on the CNN pictures. Well, he got his wish. Even Rambo got shot in the third movie, but in real life, you die as a result of being shot. They should call Pat Tillman's army life 'Rambo 4: Rambo Attempts to Strike Back at His Former Rambo 3 Taliban Friends, and Gets Killed.'"

Yahoo! News - In bed with Beckham -- in the name of art: "On Tuesday, Britain's National Portrait Gallery was unveiling a 'portrait' of the Real Madrid midfielder, comprising a one hour and seven minute-long video film of him asleep -- alone -- in a bed.

WIN THIS BABY: "A giant-sized controversy is brewing over a baby adoption special on '20/20' - and sending ABC execs into a tailspin.

Collins cut loose by the Giants in the wake of the golden boy trade.
Poor Kerry.

"His teammates were still in meetings and workouts. Nobody noticed him disappearing up the ramp, and out of the stadium. It was a shame. They would've given him on his way out, what they never did on his way in here: A standing ovation. If Eli Manning can get it both ways with the Giants, he should consider himself a lucky man."

Kareem is so cool.

U.S. Had Key Role in Iraq Buildup (washingtonpost.com): "High on the Bush administration's list of justifications for war against Iraq are President Saddam Hussein's use of chemical weapons, nuclear and biological programs, and his contacts with international terrorists. What U.S. officials rarely acknowledge is that these offenses date back to a period when Hussein was seen in Washington as a valued ally.
Among the people instrumental in tilting U.S. policy toward Baghdad during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war was Donald H. Rumsfeld, now defense secretary, whose December 1983 meeting with Hussein as a special presidential envoy paved the way for normalization of U.S.-Iraqi relations. Declassified documents show that Rumsfeld traveled to Baghdad at a time when Iraq was using chemical weapons on an 'almost daily' basis in defiance of international conventions."
"The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague."

The New York Times > New York Region > Couple Takes Protest Up Tree in Central Park: "The couple, one clad in a thong and the other in boxer shorts, climbed up 35 feet into a pine tree, just north of the Wollman Rink, at about 4:20 p.m. The two people, identified by the police as a 32-year-old man with feminine breasts and a 17-year-old boy, shouted threats at rescue workers and drank soft drinks. They also had oral sex, witnesses told the police."

This was my favorite part of the story.
From the Post: "Police hostage negotiators recorded their demands: One Diet Vanilla Pepsi."
From the Times: "Three hours into the standoff, an officer handed the 32-year-old man a can of soda. He flung it to the ground and shouted: "This is a Coke. I wanted vanilla Diet Pepsi.""

For Love or Playstation




"It sounds like a setup to me, but the San Francisco Giants game a couple nights ago had a mid-game 'Singles Night' competition, where three bachelors tried to woo a brunette fluent in Portuguese. The second bachelor's line that he "wouldn't mind picking up a little Portuguese," (Translation: You aren't a fattie, right?) won the woman over, but when presented with his choice of prize--either an all-expenses-paid date with the girl or a Playstation 2--the man took the PlayStation. Oh, sure, lament the red-bloodedness of American men, but think about it: awkward, no-action date or Tekken?"

Oh no, this is going to upset smo.
