Staying
Brett Favre won’t unretire
According a Yahoo! Sports report, Brett Favre called Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress sometime Wednesday or early Thursday and told the coach he wants to stay retired. Of course, as he’s done in the past, Favre could change his mind. For now, Bears fans can breathe easy.
Going
Manny Ramirez suspended
Man-Ram, ugh, will be gone 50 games after being suspended for failing a drug test in Spring Training. Ramirez said he was given medication by a doctor that contained a banned substance. For the record, he’ll miss L.A.’s series at the White Sox on June 23-25 and against the Cubs on May 28-31.
Coming
Alex Rodriguez returning to Yankees
Tabloid-troubled Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is scheduled to make his season debut Friday in Baltimore. A-Rod or A-Roid or A-Fraud — take your pick — has been rehabbing in the minors after having surgery on his hip in March.
