Favre considers reporting to camp
In comments aired from his recent Fox News interview, Packers pseudo-retired QB Brett Favre has stated that he's tempted to report to training camp to, "you know, call their bluff or whatever."
Continuing to bolster his place in the running for the "Media Whore of the Year" award at the upcoming ESPY's, Favre acknowledged that such a move would inevitably turn the team's camp into a "media circus."
Chicago improves backfield...?
The Chicago Bears, a traditional ground-and-pound team in the peculiar situation of having naught but rookie RB Matt Forte in the backfield, strengthened their backfield by signing ex-Loins player Kevin Jones. Jones ran for 24 touchdowns in his four seasons with Detroit, and hopes to improve his productivity for his new team.
Said coach Lovie Smith, "I love Kevin. He's a great addition to our team. His only problem is his knee gets blown more often than Cedrick Benson's car-lock. Our training staff is going to have to work on that."
Rampage on a rampage
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was arrested at gunpoint in California on Tuesday. Jackson was apprehended by Costa Mesa police after a pursuit which SI.com's Josh Gross reported, "left debris and damaged cars in its wake."
Rampage allegedly started the wreckage in Peoria, Illinois, stomping on cars, knocking down buildings, punching helicopters and eating people. Costa Mesa police say that their success in subduing Jackson was due to their ability to trap him in a body of water until he fell unconscious.
Rafa adds asteroid to trophy case
An astronomical observatory in Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal's home island of Majorca requested that an asteroid be named after him, and the International Astronomical Union was happy to oblige.
In other news, a NASA scientist who wishes to remain anonymous is lobbying to rename the potential supermassive black hole at the center of the M32 galaxy after Andy Roddick, "because they both suck somethin' fierce."
Clippers trade for Denver center Camby
The Los Angeles Clippers traded for Denver center Marcus Camby on Tuesday. In return, the Nuggets received the option to swap 2009 second-round picks with the Clippers, though the move was made primarily to clear salary cap space for Denver.
In unrelated news, the Denver downtown development authority has announced plans to build a 40-foot bronze colossus statue of Cleveland star Lebron James on top of City Hall. Sources close to the situation would not provide further details, referring to the undertaking only as, "a completely ordinary city beautification project."

Lebron is gonna need to come out with a short list of cities he's going to pretty soon. Because some execs are going to end up losing their jobs over compromising their team's competitiveness over this LBJ sweepstakes...
I mean really -- between Denver, Cleveland, NYC, or NJ .. where do they think he's going to go???
I think Denver's a long shot, and I don't think there's a chance that he'll stay in Cleveland. I think he knows that the team's 2007 fluke run to the championship series was as best as he's going to do there.
He's prepped the city of New York for his presence so much it's ridiculous. While I expect he might go to the Knicks, unless D'Antoni does something bloody brilliant there I think it would be smarter to go to the Nets. There's that whole friendship with Jay-Z, but I wonder if that's being overplayed.
