Tuesday, August 5, 2008 - A Not-So-Happy Meal

-Mark Cuban is reported to be interested in buying the Chicago Cubs. Say what you want about the guy, but the bottom line is he knows how to turn weak franchises around. Just ask the Dallas Mavericks organization.
-Don't mean to state the obvious, but there's no way Brett Favre remains a Green Bay Packer, after all of this drama, I can't see the two party's kiss and make up, and be serious about the coming season.
-A source close to Lebron James says that the King would consider a Euro offer, if it was in the range of $50 million dollars. Again, I just can't see Lebron going overseas. Too much American pride, as well as NBA pride. If Lebron wants to live up to the "next great one" and "King James" hype, it won't happen in Europe, that's for sure.
-The Dodgers are considering sending Andruw Jones to the minors. Talk about a guy who's quickly faded out of the circle of potential greats...
-After shutting down Sarunas Jasikevicius in the game against Lithuania, Kobe gave himself a new nickname, "the Doberman". Not sure about you but I like the Black Mamba handle better.
-NHL goalies will have a little less armour next season, as the league has reduced the size of the equipment down a few notches...
-According to PTI, Charles Barkley's doctor told him that he's "one happy meal away from diabetes" - which is why he's found a new hobby that will hopefully help him shed a few pounds, boxing.
-In an interview with Rob Rossi, Sidney Crosby's stated that his beverage of choice is Crown Royal or Jack Daniels.
-Joe Torre has asked Manny Ramirez to get a haircut. If Manny actually follows the order, I'll be impressed.
-Some pictures of Gilbert Arenas' crib leaked on the net recently. The stone for the mountain cost him just half a million...
-Video of the day: Bend it like Becky
