On Tuesday, he hired a new agent, Leigh Steinberg, who said Williams likes New Orleans and wants to play there. “Ricky Williams is a wonderful young man with tremendous character,” Steinberg said. “The journalist had a fixed agenda to try to despoil a popular figure. This writer has a history of this and enjoys humiliating sports figures.” He noted an article Bradley wrote about former Saints coach Mike Ditka in which Dit- ka also criticized New Orleans. Bradley, a four-year letterman center on LSU’s football squad, said he could have made Williams look worse had he not stopped his tape recorder and warned Williams of the potential backlash from certain comments. “It could have been a positive story had he been a positive interview,” Bradley said. Simply setting up the interview was a has sle, Bradley said. “The mother even called me and basically interviewed me to see if I was up to talking to her kid. She wanted to read my clippings ... so I spent $81 at Kinko’s,” Bradley said. “I have never had the mother of a professional athlete call me like that.” Williams said he never discussed the article with his mother. “My mother is her own person and if that’s what she saw fit to do, that’s her business,” Williams said. Bradley said there appeared to be a specific motive behind Williams’ comments during the interview. “He wanted to send a message to the Saints,” Bradley said. “He kept repeating the same things over and over.” Bradley said he has written articles about the Dixie Mafia, murderers, abortion-clinic bombers, celebrities and other sports stars and called Williams “the most difficult, rude, in sulting, condescending interview I’ve done in 21 years.” MOTORCYCLED aki KZ550 All tags cuiwtifl uler bike S950/0 6.0.

Who’s better? Jason would say he is. So would Jesse. The question that matters is who will be better this weekend? Both brothers want their twins to do well, yet at the same time their competitive spirits make winning the top priority. For three games and close to a dozen meetings, the Gremminger twins will be less than two feet apart — Jesse at bat, Jason catching. It is then that the questions will be answered. “There’s going to be some serious mind games going on,” Jesse said. “He definitely has an advantage, being able to call the pitches.” Jason merely said — “I know what he can hit. I have control.” 4 Be One Of A Kind, Instead Of One In A Crowd “Quality Formal Wear for Men” Ring Dance & Formal Special Basic Pierre Cardin Tuxedo 10% Off Rental w/coupon only.
