Lots and lots of body art. The fact that he is paid a major league salary is secondary, as tattoo freak magazine Inked did a lengthy profile on Miller and his illustrated manliness.

Miller has had some complaints about his tatoos — opposing batters have complained that the numerous clowns and fairies and knives or whatever running down his left arm are distracting — but that's not stopping him from getting more and more ink. He's even got pitcher Billy Koch's name tattooed on his ass. And, even though Miller's already got one pitcher's name on his ass, Marlins' pitcher Scott Olsen wanted to stake his own claim of buttock real estate:

Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen, who had been pulled over by Florida police the previous summer and charged with DUI before allegedly being shocked with a taser, approached Miller with a proposition of his own. β€œHe wants me to get his mug shot tattooed on my ass. I don't think that's going to work,” says Miller. β€œI don't think my wife wants to see Olsen's picture there. So we're not going to go with that.”

What happened to team unity?

<![CDATA[ HBO Wants You To Get A Cowboys Tattoo On Camera ]]> Looking to get that acting career off the ground? The Boys Blog has just the on-screen cameo to launch your thespianism into the stratosphere.

If you can stomach the pain, short-term and long-term, you can get a Cowboys tattoo for the opening credits of HBO's "Hard Knocks."

Neither the Cowboys nor HBO will pay for it, it's not their fault if it turns out poorly, you have to be "physically fit" and ... you have to be a white guy. Not a bad gig for half a second of air time. Worth looking into.

<![CDATA[ We Won't Even Talk About The Pirate Ship On His Ass ]]> mugherold.jpgAll we really know about Mr. John Herold here is that he was arrested for trespassing on Feb. 1, 2008, somewhere in Florida. Now, seeing that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' season ended on Jan. 6, we have to assume that those are permanent tattoos, right? Must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Such are the delights of scrolling through Mugshotdujour.com, which is a must-visit if you don't mind the night terrors. Herold may be the top sports-related entry, although this next guy comes close.

Patrick Tribett of Ohio was nabbed for "abusing harmful intoxicants." Hey, at least he huffed in team colors. (That one was from The Smoking Gun, actually).

<![CDATA[ 'Oh Why Didn't I Just Get A Jamba Juice Instead?' ]]> poorvictor.jpgAh, Victor Thompson. Poor dumb sap. Let this be a lesson to all you kids out there; tattoos are permanent, but football winning streaks are not. Sure, it was all fun and games when he decided to get the Patriots logo etched into both sides of his skull earlier this season. What could possibly go wrong? (wha-wha horn). It may interest you to know, however, that Victor blames the entire debacle on Tom Brady's girlfriend.

He went into Sunday night's big game hoping for another Patriots Super Bowl victory — an achievement that had him thinking of tattooing the Vince Lombardi Trophy on the top of his head. He said he still loves the team and Brady, but expressed some frustration that their intensity didn't seem to be at the same level as the Giants. Like many, he questioned whether Brady's girlfriend — Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen — might have been a distraction during the times that came between the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl. "Brady was playing with his old lady all week," said Thompson as he slumped in a chair and recalled the game.

Other things about Victor you may not know:

• Other tattoo, on his ass: Disco Will Never Die.

• Donated $1,000 to Fred Thompson Presidential campaign.

• Has huge collection of eight-track tapes.

• Extensive real estate holdings on Krakatoa, East of Java.

• Has Mets season tickets.

<![CDATA[ This Tattoo Should Cause No Problems Whatsoever ]]> geelong1.jpgKnow how I know your team is gay? It's, um, tattooed right on your arm there. Let this be a lesson to you kids: Beer, Aussie Rules football and Thai tattoo parlors generally don't mix. That's always been my motto, anyway.

A Geelong Cats supporter wanting a permanent reminder of the team's AFL triumph is ruing his decision to get the tattoo done overseas, after the tattooist wrote the team were "Gay Premiers 2007". He paid $150 for the privilege. And to ensure the Phuket tattooist got it right, he wrote down exactly what he wanted on his right and left arms, under the headlines "right arm" and "left arm".

Not to worry when he gets back home: Guys who hang out in Australian pubs are known for their tolerance and discretion.
