(AP, Getty Images)Josh Beckett, noted preservationist?

The prickly Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher may rub some other humans the wrong way, but he's apparently on the lookout for some of the more fragile members of the animal kingdom. According to a story in the San Antonio Express-News, Beckett is suing a pipeline company for allegedly destroying an endangered ocelot habitat that he says was located on his 7,000-acre ranch in south Texas.

(of course, as any phish fan knows, there's nothing wrong with a good Ocelot, as long as it's placed properly)

Speaking of Phish. I know they don't have backdrops anymore.. but if they did bring back a screen, they could just play this time lapse video on loop.. and I'd be cool with it.

4. Lebron. Even terrorists know he's a douchebag

I know he's a terrorist, but he's got a point. Does this make him a friend of the Boston Celtics? The enemy of my enemy is my.. how's that go again?

Guantanamo prisoner's opinion of LeBron James treated as top secret

By Jane Sutton | Reuters – 20 hrs ago

GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) - U.S. security restrictions governing the statements of former CIA captives held at Guantanamo are so stringent that one prisoner's assessment of basketball star LeBron James was treated as a top national secret for two months, a military defense lawyer said on Tuesday.

The incident was disclosed by Navy Lieutenant Commander Kevin Bogucki, a defense lawyer for Yemeni defendant Ramzi Binalshibh, one of five prisoners charged with orchestrating the September 11 plot to crash hijacked commercial planes into U.S. buildings.

Bogucki said another of his Guantanamo prisoner clients, former CIA captive Muhammed Rahim, wrote a note criticizing the National Basketball Association star's decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in 2010.

"LeBron James is a very bad man. He should apologize to the city of Cleveland," Bogucki quoted the note as saying.
