FanHouse George Clooney

Just this afternoon we reported that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was thinking the next NFL team might find its way down to San Antonio.

Well, lucky for us, Forbes has now compiled a list of which sports teams are most likely to go out for a carton of milk and never come back home.

The 10 that are most likely to move for one reason or another is as follows:

-- Florida Marlins
-- Tampa Bay Rays
-- Buffalo Bills
-- Minnesota Vikings
-- San Francisco 49ers
-- New York Islanders
-- Phoenix Coyotes
-- Nashville Predators
-- New Orleans Hornets
-- Charlotte Bobcats

Former NL Rookie of the Year winner (1979,) Cy Young award winner (1984), and current ESPN analyst Rick Sutcliffe will be taking some time off from his job. Sutcliffe found out on Thursday that he has colon cancer and will begin undergoing treatment for the disease immediately.

Sutcliffe, 51, was diagnosed after a routine test during a physical revealed that he has a treatable and curable form of colon cancer. Sutcliffe will undergo chemotherapy and surgery over the next few months and said he hopes to make a healthy comeback later this year.

"I deeply appreciate the support of the ESPN family and my family and friends around the country," Sutcliffe said in a statement.

I've always been a Rick Sutcliffe fan, and unlike a lot of people I know, I enjoy watching games that feature him in the booth. Especially when he's not supposed to be there and is drunkenly telling us about George Clooney and how George is going to "solve that thing."

Unfortunately, I don't think George Clooney is going to be able to solve that cancer since he only played a doctor on television. The good news is that Rick has real doctors who will be able to help rid him of his colon cancer, and he should be back on the air by the end of the year.

George Clooney, the star of such blockbuster hits as Michael Clayton and Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride, is the latest A-lister to speak out about China's human rights issues in the months leading up to the Beijing games. Clooney helps promote Omega Watches which is one of the worldwide Olympic partners for this summer's games.

Yesterday, Clooney was quoted on the BBC website and made it clear that Omega is aware of how he feels, "I have talked with Omega (about China) for over a year and will continue to talk to Omega. I have and will go to the places I and China do business and ask for help."

Omega, who has been the official Olympics timekeeper since 1932, isn't into mixing sports and politics. An executive representing Omega had this to say in response to Clooney:

"It is our policy not to get involved in politics," he was quoted as saying, because it would not serve the cause of sport, which he called one of the noblest human endeavors "for creating understanding and peace all over the world."

Earlier this month, Steven Spielberg dropped out as artistic advisor to the games due to his beliefs regarding China's human rights issues with Darfur.

It's a blessed time to be in America. After years of shoveling trans fat down our gullets at fast food joints, years of cars and power plants dumping carbon into our air, and years of us being somewhat blind to what it was doing to our bodies and environment, we're making changes, man. Al Gore is bringing his MacBook around the country. George Clooney is solving that thing in Africa.

MLB is going green.

Major League Baseball and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) have jointly announced the creation of a Team Greening Program. This program was developed to support and coordinate the many environmentally sensitive practices now pursued by virtually every Major League club. The joint effort marks the first time that Major League Baseball will implement a league-wide environmental protection strategy.

[ ... ] "Baseball is a social institution with social responsibilities, and caring for the environment is inextricably linked to all aspects of our game," said Commissioner Bud Selig. "Sound environmental practices make sense in every way and protect our natural resources for future generations of baseball fans."

Next stop for MLB on their crusade to rid stadiums of toxins? Doing away with those all-you-can-eat ticket deals. Oh wait, those are all new this year? Nevermind then.
