John Harding of Restaurant Associates, the company catering the tournament, says the food prices haven't been raised in years and are competitive with what is charged for food at the Super Bowl. However, after numerous complaints, the policy was changed back.

Simpson tells Playboy magazine he's been keeping a low profile in Florida. The reporter who interviewed Simpson says he is keenly interested in the murder trials of Scott Peterson and Robert Blake, WABC-TV in Los Angeles reports.

In the interview, Simpson still contends he's innocent of double murder of his wife and another man but that had he not had the money for his "dream team," he might not have been acquitted of murder charges.
