De La Hoya -- I'm No Bone Head
Oscar De La Hoya hung up his boxing gloves after 16 years in the ring yesterday -- and when we asked him "Why?" at LAX, the answer was simple: "These old bones can't take it anymore!"
In a sport where most of its superstars blow their fortunes -- and are forced to fight when they clearly shouldn't -- it's good to see De La Hoya walking away with his money and a fully functioning brain.

Everything Must Go! Including Favre
Nothing says Hall-of-Fame career like a yard sale! Hours after Brett Favre announced his retirement (again) from football, the NY Jets announced a 50% sale on all Favre gear. 
Appropriate, since the Jets were barely 50% better with Brett playing QB.

Brett Favre Retires ... Again
Take last year's Brett Favre retirement speech, substitute Jets for Packers (and remove any references to playing well), and you've got today's news: Favre is done.

John O'Hurley, Come On Down?
TMZ was first to report that George Hamilton was a front-runner to grab Bob Barker's stick mic as the replacement "Price is Right" host ... but now it seems that the perennially tan Hamilton may have been beached. 
New sources tell TMZ that John O'Hurley is the leader of the pack, saying, "He auditioned and they loved him!" Reps from CBS declined to comment on either of the candidates. O'Hurley, best known as Mr. Peterman on "Seinfeld," has appeared as host on numerous shows, including Mrs. America, the Emmys and "Family Feud." He also showed that he has all the right moves on the first season of "Dancing with the Stars." Spin that wheel!
Perhaps they should all just play a competition round of Plinko!
UPDATE -- Or maybe not. Sources now tell TMZ that O'Hurley loves doing "Family Feud," "hated" doing "Price is Right," and would only take the gig if producers paid him a ton of money!
Could this all be a ploy to drive down the asking price of the two guys that really, really want the gig (Mark Steines and Todd Newton)?
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Through his rep, John O'Hurley tells TMZ, "I would be honored to be considered to take over for Bob Barker and replace someone that I admire so much." His rep adds that Hurley didn't hate doing "Price is Right" -- in fact, he has never even hosted it!
