Life in a Sports-Mad City
For the football fans among us, I found something amusing enough to interrupt our regularly scheduled programming.
As some might know, Ricky Williams -- who bolted the NFL last year because he couldn't kick his pot habit -- returned to the Dolphins' training camp this week.

What d'ya want? We're a tough crowd.
Not to be outdone, the Philadelphia Daily News (one of my major writing influences) had a full-sheet picture of Williams on its back page yesterday with this memorable headline:
A NEW LEAF
