Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition

Hovi Hov & The Nets
1) Russia's Richest Man Buys 80% Of Nets
Wow, Jay-Z's stock in the Nets just shrunk by A LOT. Before he probably owned like 6 or 7%, now he owns like 0.0781%. If shit wasn't going so well for Hov he'd probably be pissed off. Instead he'll be on Oprah tomorrow. Even when he loses he still wins lol.

Of course this all means LeBron is definitely NOT leaving Cleveland after this season. Book it.

2) $100K Offer For Jordan-Russell Charity Rematch
Michael Jordan vs. Bryon Russell?? Who wants to see that?? What evidence is there to make me believe that Russell has gotten so much better in his old age that he could now take on Jordan?? I rather see them use the money to try to get a Jordan-Kobe one-on-one game or a Jordan-LeBron. There's any number of match-ups I'd rather see over Jordan-Russell, sorry.

3) Ocho Cinco Brings Back The CB List
The list is now officially called Dulce Venganza (Sweet Revenge) and he's out to get revenge for his poor play from a year ago. Next up on the list is Ike Taylor and William Gay as the Steelers head into Cincy this weekend. We'll see what happens, but there's no way the Bengals win this game and the Steelers will make them kiss the baby.

4) Marion Barber Practices
The media is only allowed to be at practice for the first 20 minutes so we don't really know how much he ended up doing, but at least he attempted to go. I'm not really worried about this though because it doesn't seem too serious and shouldn't keep him out too long so no need to rush him back when we have Felix Jones and Tashard Choice waiting in the wing.
