Chris Brown withdraws his name from The Kids Choice Awards..


Chris Brown is withdrawing his name from consideration for a 2009 Kids' Choice Award. A spokesperson for Chris Brown said said, "Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated. While Chris would like to speak to his fans directly about this and other issues, pending legal proceedings preclude his doing so at this time. Once the matter before him has been resolved, he intends to do so." 

In addition to Favorite Song, Chris Brown was also nominated in the Favorite Male Singer category. There was a controversy surrounding Chris Brown's nomination for the any awards because he allegedly badly beat up his girlfriend, singer Rihanna. Chris Brown and Rihanna had been head to head in the Favorite Song category. Chris Brown's exit leaves just Rihanna, Katy Perry and Beyonce up for the Favorite Song award. 

San Diego is Charged, to keep L.T.


SAN DIEGO (AP)—The LaDainian Tomlinson saga ended happily for both sides.
After two months of uncertainty about his future, L.T. remains the face of the San Diego Chargers. The star running back agreed to a renegotiated deal that gives the team salary cap relief, the Chargers confirmed Tuesday night.
Financial terms weren’t immediately available for the three-year contract for Tomlinson, the 2006 NFL MVP.
“I love San Diego and being a part of this team with my teammates,” Tomlinson said in a statement released by the team. “My No. 1 priority was to stay here in San Diego. I truly believe this is the place that gives me the best chance to be successful and win a championship. I want to finish the job we started when I got here eight years ago. My heart has always been in San Diego. I couldn’t imagine putting on another uniform.”
A news conference was scheduled for Wednesday morning.

The Cavs could of and should of got Shaq


It was nearly LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal in Cleveland. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns nearly made a trade that would have sent Shaq to Cleveland two weeks ago. The Times called it "the Big Near Miss''.
According to the report, Phoenix was prepared to ship Shaq East for the bargain basement price of Wally Szczerbiak and Sasha Pavlovic. However, instead of Szczerbiak, whose $13.5-million-a-year deal is expiring, the Cavaliers wanted the Suns take Ben Wallace, who has one more season at $14 million left.
Of course, who's to say it won't come up again this summer?

Pro Bowl goes back to Paradise


HONOLULU (AP)—The Pro Bowl is returning to Hawaii.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority board voted 9-1 on Friday to accept the NFL’s offer to return to the islands.
The board rejected two previous proposals, but under mounting pressure reconsidered its latest refusal to pay the NFL $4 million a year to host the all-star game at Aloha Stadium in 2011 and 2012.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with the state of Hawaii, which has embraced the Pro Bowl for 30 years,” Frank Supovitz, the NFL’s senior vice president of events, said in a statement.
The 2010 Pro Bowl will be played in Miami a week before the Super Bowl after a 30-year run in Hawaii in which every game was a sellout.
Supovitz said placing the Pro Bowl in the islands on a rotational basis will maintains its ties to Hawaii while making it more accessible to fans on the mainland.

Joint deal for Beckham


LOS ANGELES (AP)—David Beckham is coming back to the Los Angeles Galaxy in July.
The English midfielder will remain on loan to AC Milan through the end of the Italian team’s season, which concludes May 31.
But it’s going to cost Beckham to stay overseas. He and AC Milan are jointly paying the Galaxy in a “multimillion dollar deal” to extend his loan, the Galaxy said in a statement issued late Saturday night.
On Sunday, Milan issued a statement confirming the move a few minutes before its game with Atalanta.
“AC Milan announces that the player David Beckham will remain with the Rossoneri until June 30, 2009,” the statement said.
Financial terms of the arrangement were not disclosed. The Galaxy had sought $10 million for the outright purchase of Beckham, but AC Milan officials had offered $3 million.
The two sides were negotiating for weeks and reached agreement on the loan extension hours before it was due to expire after AC Milan’s game with Atalanta.
“I’m really grateful to the L.A. Galaxy and AC Milan for making this dream deal happen,” Beckham said in the statement.

Owens streaks to Buffalo


ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)—Terrell Owens needed only two days to find another place to play.
The Buffalo Bills decided to take a chance on the talented but high-maintenance receiver, signing Owens to a $6.5 million, one-year deal Saturday.
The 35-year-old Owens caught 69 passes for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns last season with Dallas. But the Cowboys were looking to improve the atmosphere in the locker room and decided they would be better off without him.
“I’m leaving America’s team (for) North America’s team,” Owens said at a news conference.
The Bills will be Owens’ fourth stop. He started with San Francisco, bounced to Philadelphia—where he helped the Eagles get to a Super Bowl—and then to Dallas.
“I must move on, and it’s another beginning for me,” Owens said. “If I can be that extra added piece to get them to the playoffs, then that’s what I’m here for. I looked at the defensive side of ball and offensive side of the ball, and these guys have all the pieces.”

Mark don't PLAY that!


Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wasn't in Oklahoma City to see his team stink out the joint Monday. Apparently, he didn't have to be there in person, to be disgusted.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Cuban promised fans there will be changes if the sorry efforts continue.
"It's only one game, which I keep reminding myself," Cuban said Tuesday. "But let's just say I wasn't happy with our preparation, execution or effort. Not only did it look like we had no idea what we were doing, but we did it without effort. The effort and energy, on both sides of the ball, by each player will decide their future with the Mavericks. If each player can't take the personal initiative to make every game important and play like it, I don't see them being here next season."
According to The Morning News, after Monday's game, in which the Mavericks trailed by 20 points after three quarters to a Thunder team that was missing its two leading scorers — Kevin Durant and Jeff Green — players and coach Rick Carlisle took turns blasting the lack of focus.
"The ball won't always bounce the way we want it to, but every player can control their level of effort," he said. "If it's not important enough to them to lay it out every game the rest of the season, they won't be back. I don't care what their contract is. I would rather turn over the roster 100 percent than subject fans to another game like last night. This team has the talent to win in the playoffs. But that's only going to happen if all 15 guys know and execute their assignments and play every possession like it's important."

Where will T.O. end up Drew?


As the list of teams not interested in the services and issues that come along with signing Terrell Owens to a deal continues to grow, agent Drew Rosenhaus told Profootballtalk.com that several teams are interested in the 35-year-old wide receiver cut earlier this week by the Dallas Cowboys.
"These are several teams that are interested in signing Terrell," Drew Rosenhaus told us Friday morning. "I have been in negotiations with these teams. I will not identify these teams at this time."
Profootballtalk.com speculated Owens could end up with the Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders or possibly the Indianapolis Colts.
