What's up with that?


Stop! Thief!

The Contra Costa Times (Calif.) reported this week on the recent identity theft of San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Brandon Whiting, whose name was being used to buy a house. According to the paper, the form of fraud is an increasing problem for NFL players and the most common way by which they are victimized.

NFL players who have been the target of identity theft in the past include Pepper Johnson, Roman Phifer and London Fletcher.

Players not believed to have ever been the victim of identity theft are: Art Schlicter, O.J. Simpson, Rae Carruth, Ray Lewis, Stanley Wilson and Dexter Manley.

Five is enough

According to a story in USA Today this week, Baltimore Orioles third baseman Melvin Mora not only leads the American League in batting, he also leads the league in quintuplets, with one set.

That's five kids - three girls and two boys. Happy Father's Day, Melvin.

Fab-u-lous

According to Bloomberg News, many golfers at this week's U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., rented homes in the Hamptons.

Let's see, who was out of it by the weekend? Nick Faldo, Freddie Couples, David Duval. Can you just imagine that bunch walking into one of those ultra-hip Hampton parties filled with the likes of Paris Hilton, P. Diddy, Calvin Klein and Tara Reid?

That's got reality television written all over it. Next year, the Open will be on Fox.

Hot Totti

Italian soccer star Francesco Totti will miss his country's next three games for spitting at an opponent during the European Championship against Denmark on Monday. The incident disproved two misconceptions: soccer really is a rough sport, and the Italians talk with more than just their hands.

Australian for overkill

The Miami Herald reported this week on Australian icon Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe. After Thorpe, the reigning champion in the 400-meter freestyle, false-started during the event at Olympic qualifying, the second-place finisher, Craig Stevens, offered his spot on the team to The Thorpedo. The gesture, watched by 1.8 million on Australian television, added a new phrase to the Aussie vernacular: "Doing a Stevo," which means doing a favor.

Aussies. Great, just great.
