0 commentsVideo game rage
Lacey Proctor, a 20-year-old massage therapy student, "reported that she was assaulted tonight (Monday) by her former live-in boyfriend, Isac Pettinger. Proctor said they had lived together at 1221 E. 28th St., until approximately a month ago when she moved out. Proctor said that tonight Pettinger invited her over to the house so that they could spend some time together.
"Proctor said she became frustrated with Pettinger as he would not stop playing video games. Proctor said she stood in front of Pettinger, blocking his view of the screen. At that point Pettinger's video game character died and he became very angry."

0 commentsWhy did Roger Clemens always look so angry?
Much has been made of Tom Verducci's book The Yankee Years, scheduled to be released Feb. 3rd, where Joe Torre rips current and former Yankees personnel.
There have already been several snippets of the book that have leaked out, including where Torre reveals Alex Rodriguez's nickname in the Yankees clubhouse was A-Fraud.
One of the most memorable parts of the book that hasn't made it out yet is a bizarre story about Roger Clemens, and how he prepared for starts.
The luckiest fan in America
Approximately 2.6 million Americans lost their jobs last year. One of them couldn't have been happier about it.
His name is Lionel Rodia, of suburban Philadelphia, and if they ever build a national Fan Hall of Fame, what he did in Game 5 of last year's World Series should get his face on the logo.
When Lionel's staffing company was sold and he was pink-slipped, it knocked him flatter than forgotten beer. And it's not easy to flatten Lionel, who is as pessimistic as a rainbow and twice as colorful. His real name is Mike, but they call him Lionel because, like the train, he can't be stopped.
