1. Is that in euros?
ESPN reports that LeBron James would consider playing overseas for “around $50 million.” Well that doesn’t sound like much. “A year.” Oh, he must be out of his ever-lovin’ mind.
2. Bei-cha-ching
Guess what. You’ll be playing overseas during the Olympics. For free.
3. Perfect position
The Bears’ Kellen Davis had to sing “I’m Too Sexy” for his rookie initiation. He’s listed as a tight end on the roster, but now it sounds like bragging.
4. Prince of a guy
Prince Fielder apologized for pushing Milwaukee teammate Manny Parra, but not for the “passion and intensity.” So it’s OK to act like an idiot, as long as you’re passionate about it.
5.Arm candy
I’ve been off so I haven’t had a chance to weigh in on this Erin Andrews flap. She disputes claims that she flirted with Cubs and caressed Alfonso Soriano’s bicep. If that were true, he’d be on the DL. Ka-zoom!
6. Little mix-up
Tank Johnson talked about getting a new start with the Cowboys after legal problems got him booted from the Bears. “I was in witness protection last year,” he said. No, Tank, that’s for the people who testified against you.
7. Age of retirement
Tiger Woods says he’ll know when his skills have diminished and it’s time to “rack the cue and go home.” So you say now. Clip this article, fans, and show it to Old Man Woods in 2038.
8. And …
Save a copy for Brett Favre, who’ll still be playing by then.
9. Keep ’em coming
Baseball gave Ozzie Guillen a two-game suspension for some post-game comments Sunday. Yeah, why don’t you go ahead and start a tab.
FIVE REASONS …
… the Bears should go after Brett Favre
– Makes “Rex is our QB” sound even dumber
– Wranglers, Prilosec and Snapper lawn mowers for everyone
– To start the healing
– To, I don’t know, win
– Finally … ambush!
