Brett Favre has done what everybody knew he would do before he officially got himself into the situation he currently wants to get himself out of. In other words: he stated his desire to make a comeback from retirement. But Favre was wise enough to realize he had permanently abdicated from his throne as Green Bay’s Iron Man, and let it be known he wanted a release from the Packers.

Not so fast, Old Faithful! Management is not about to let slip out of their official grasp a football mind and talent that could wreak havoc on his former team, especially were he to sign with a division rival. So Favre remains a Packer. Adding fuel to this burgeoning fire, Green Bay has made it clear that their Boy will remain former Cal QB Aaron Rodgers, officially relegating the NFL’s only three-time MVP to Jim Sorgi status (The Onion Assesses Peyton’s Backup). If Favre intends to return to the NFL in some capacity, let’s hope his clipboard-handling skills exceed his talent at avoiding interceptions.

Alex Rodriguez’s infatuation with strong, muscular women is well documented here. Yesterday we learned about Alicia Marie - and saw pictures too.

Today, It is Joslyn Morse who, according to the NY Daily News, “is a 31-year-old former Scores stripper who became infamous when she was photographed walking into a Toronto jiggle joint with A-Rod 14 months ago.”

Joslyn is rather buff herself:

The two best nuggets are information are here:

“There is clear evidence that Rodriguez and Morse have known each other awhile. When Rodriguez flew to California for the funeral of yankees pitcher Cory Lidle in October 2006, his private dancer was listed on the flight manifest as one of the passengers on the plane.

While Morse spoke, a new photo emerged of A-Rod getting cozy with a superbuff fitness model who is ex-relief pitcher John Rocker’s girlfriend.”

Alex Rodriguez’s favorite stripper broke her silence about the Yankee slugger Wednesday, saying she’s still a fan but wants to stay clear of his messy divorce.

“I don’t believe much in this life,” a weary-sounding Joslyn Morse said when asked to comment on new revelations about the slugger’s off-field exploits.

Morse, a 31-year-old former Scores stripper who became infamous when she was photographed walking into a Toronto jiggle joint with A-Rod 14 months ago, spoke for the first time yesterday - flat-out refusing to say if they ever had sex.

“I can’t comment,” she said as she filled up at a gas station near her Miami home.

Asked if she wished Rodriguez the best now that his wife, Cynthia, is dumping him, the busty blond perked up. “Of course I do,” she said.

Cynthia Rodriguez, 35, did not name names when she filed her divorce petition Monday accusing her husband of “extramarital affairs,” a legal move that happened after her husband was linked in media reports to Madonna.

We posted a few days ago about the new Nike Air McFly (or the Hydrunk McFly 2015’s). Well they aren’t a made up image - and Kobe Bryant showed up in his fancy car to sign a couple McFly Hyperdunk sneakers:

We’ve written about it before - Alex Rodriguez has a thing for “the she-male, muscular type”…

Well more information is arriving out the Madonna vs. A-Rod vs. Cynthia Rodriguez feud and here comes his latest lover / affair: Alicia Marie… who pretty buff herself. The best part is t,hat she says that she and ARod had a fling DURING a trip against the red sox and she takes credit (jokingly I assume) for “reversing the curse!”

A-Rod’s women are crawling out of the woodwork, including a musclebound model who up until recently had been dating much-loathed ex-ballplayer John Rocker. Fitness model Alicia Marie called Alex Rodriguez a “sweetheart” and insisted that while they have spent time alone at her apartment, they are just “close friends.” Former stripper Candace Houlihan, however, readily admitted to a “two-night stand” with the Rodriguez in 2004, the year the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years. “I feel like I reversed the curse,” Houlihan joked of her romps with the slugger, who is going through a bitter divorce.

If you play MLB 08 The Show, you’re likely confused by the lack of rating numbers as the new system uses bars to reflect power, speed, velocity, etc. Well here is my #1 payer for MLB 08 The Show on the PS3: Tim Wakefield. Hell, last night he tossed 24 strikouts in 10.2 innings when John Papelbon came in for a one out save.

And if you want to test your game against Wake, just drop me a note!

Amidst all of the Cynthia Rodriguez / Alex Rodriguez divorce filings (and the millions of dollars his infidelity will cost him) are two aging celebrities: Madonna and Lenny Kravitz… well here are some leaked photos of C-Rod shacking up with Lenny across:

Apparently I missed an epic UFC battle between Rampage Jackson and Forrest Griffin (two great fighter names by the way) - but according to the photos from the match, I’m not quite sure exactly what I missed but it’s obvious that Rampage was in some ‘compromising’ situations…:

Cynthia Rodriguez has it out for Madonna’s new ‘friend’ Alex Rodriguez - whose “long period of infidelity has caused C-Rod to file for divorce from purple-lipped A-Rod. The hope is that a few things happen:

1. The divorce gets messy and very public… consequently confirming that A-Rod has a ‘thing’ for female body builders

2. The public messiness get to A-Rod - who is unable to handle the pressures of New York and has a late-season collapse (again)

3. Tension brews between Derek Jeter and Rodriguez as people wonder why Derek dates the stars and A-Rod dates the body builders

The New York Post reports:

Cynthia Rodriguez will cite hubby A-Rod’s “relationship” with Madonna when she files for divorce tomorrow, her lawyers indicated today.

As Madonna took the unusual step of issuing a public statement denying any romantic involvement with Alex Rodriguez, his wife - described by pals as on the verge of a “nervous breakdown” - rounded up a pricey team of lawyers to file for divorce in Miami-Dade County, where the couple has a home.

The wife’s divorce petition will cite a “long period of infidelity on the part of Mr. Rodriguez” and “emotional abandonment,” one of her lawyers, Maurice Kutner, told The Post Sunday night.

Kutner said A-Rod’s “relationship with Madonna was the latest situation in a series of events” that doomed the marriage.

“It’s huge, it’s devastating, it’s life-changing,” Kutner said. “It’s caused her tremendous stress, and she’s doing the best she can to deal with it.”

C-Rod’s legal team is being rounded out by lawyers Earle Lilly and John Van Ness of Houston and Anthony Sabatino, who, like Kutner, is from Miami.

Lilly has experience taking on Yankees. He helped Hall of Fame outfielder Dave Winfield’s baby mama win a $1.6 million judgment in a common-law marriage lawsuit against him.

It’s official - cc sabathia has been added to the already-Prince Fielder-hefty Milwaukee Brewers lineup… which is so fitting in the land of racing sausages and draft beers. CC will join stud Ben Sheets as the Brewers aces and make for a very competitive second half of the season. The Brewers are already contenders and can now focus on tightening their weak bullpen… remember they paid Eric Gagne a huge sum of money the day before the mitchell report went public?

This is also a clear sign that the Indians have given up on a monstrously disappointing 2008 season and they have opened up a yard sale.

Cleveland will get minor league outfielder Matt LaPorta, who is hitting .288 with 20 homers and 66 RBIs in 84 games for Double-A Huntsville, and others. The other players do not include top prospects Alcides Escobar or Mat Gamel, according to the Journal Sentinel.

We hate Alex Rodriguez here at SportsWrap… but admire his ability to pump such great, juicy ‘news’ in our direction. Today’s news suggests a few things:

1. ARod still hasn’t gotten over his jealousy of Jose Cansenco
2. Perhaps the rampant infidelity rumors that have surrounded ARod are true (where theres unlimited smoke, there’s fire)
3. At least ARod has developed some taste and no long is chasing bodybuilders
4. Alex Rodriguez is apparently now an item with Madonna - being spotted late night at her pad many times (read below):

Us Weekly reports in its new issue, on newsstands tomorrow, that Madonna’s seven-year marriage to Guy Ritchie has stalled out – and the singer has been hosting late-night visits from New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez at her Central Park West apartment in New York City.

A ringless and grim-faced Ritchie, 39, arrived in New York City from London yesterday after several weeks apart from his family. A source tells Us that the $28-million-a-year Rodriguez, 32, has made numerous solo nighttime visits to Madonna, 49, at her spacious home and would sneak out “as late as midnight.” Says the source, “All the doormen are talking.”

Rodriguez attended Madonna’s April 30 NYC concert; the singer sat in his seats at a Yankees game on June 22 (it was the first time she ever was photographed at a Yankees game). Her son Rocco, 7, also sported Yankees gear on June 25 while playing in Central Park.

Rodriguez, married with two young daughters, has already faced speculation about cheating: In 2007, he and a stripper were reportedly spied in Toronto, Miami and Dallas.

Complicating matters: Former Yankee slugger Jose Canseco – who once dated Madonna – wrote in his book Vindicted that he “hates [A-Rod’s] guts” because he once hit on his wife.
