A Sports Guy - Monday, January 14

KISS AND MAKE UP
Australia and India are on the road to cordiality with the opposing captains engaging in a passionate kiss at a press conference today. The kiss was initiated by Australian captain Ricky Ponting, who said afterwards "Anil and I go way back. Way, way back. F*ck!"

FEDERER RECOVERS FROM ILLNESS
Ominously for the Australian Open field, Roger Federer is no longer feeling the effects of a flu that had him sidelined for the Kooyong Classic. At least one seed was reported to withdraw from the Open on hearing the news. "It's a tough call to make," said Dmitry Tursonov. "But it's not really worth playing if Roger is feeling well. I miss my home."



MOTHER LODE DRAWS DAVENPORT BACK AGAIN
New mother Lindsay Davenport has declared the reason behind returning from induced-pregnancy-induced retirement to play at this year's Australian Open: money. "I'm gonna get me some cash, my diggers," said Davenport. "That's what it's about now. I have a child to feed."

You've really taken the 'drought-stricken farmers' idea and nurtured it into a weapon we can all use to elicit laughs.

Kudos to you Lisa. - cw

Hang on, what's missing my home got to do with drought-stricken farmers? The only funny thing I know to do with DSFs is [maniacal laugh]... Wipeout!
