• Can This Guy Catch A Break?

  In December 2007, New York Yankees World Series hero Jim Leyritz allegedly got sloshed at his 44th birthday party, ran a red light in Fort Lauderdale, then plowed into the Mitsubishi Montero of 30-year-old Freida Ann Veitch, killing the mother of two. In December 2008 he's looking for a job as a baseball broadcaster. That's assuming, of course, that Leyritz is right in saying he'll be "exonerated" of vehicular manslaughter charges in a trial scheduled for Jan. 12. -- Thomas Francis

• Boom Times For Bogenschutz

  As the economy goes further into the tank, there's at least one guy in Broward County whose business appears to be thriving like never before: David Bogenschutz, the go-to defense attorney for ethically challenged judges, indicted politicians, and just about anyone else with a high profile.   Corruption is a growth business right now and Bogenschutz is benefitting in a big way. Here's a smattering of some people he's representing currently or has rep'd in the r

• Fantasy Baseball: What If the Legends Played the Asterisks?

  Alex RodriguezIf baseball players like South Florida homeboy ARod can use banned substances to gain supernatural powers, it seems only fair that I should be able to call upon supernatural powers to reincarnate a group of the 20th Century's best: players who managed to post their sensational statistics in an era when a "chemical advantage" meant showing up for the game with a beer buzz. Let's put them up against a mighty lineup consisting entirely of modern baseball players whose greatness has be

• Satan (And/Or TMZ) Takes Reins at Sun-Sentinel

  This just in: The Sun-Sentinel has been overtaken by forces of evil intent on making society more callous and stupid. This morning our local newspaper led with the terrible story of Natasha Richardson with the headline: "Is she brain dead?" That's just heinous. Provide coverage, sure, but don't lead with it. And don't lure people in with a ghoulish and unseemly question like that. That headline has now been replaced with the equally classless and voyeuristic&
