5 at 10: Sports stories that won't go away

Hope this finds you well. As you read this, the 5-at-10 is hiking high above sea level in the greater Montana mountains. This joint is a way up here now. Think Rock City on triple-dose PED cocktail mixed by Barry Bonds, Lance Armstrong and Roger Clemens. So it goes. Here's today's mini-5-at-10:

Five sports stories/characters that if we never hear from them again it will be OK by us:

- Brett Favre coming out of retirement

- Steroids in general and steroids and Lance and Barry and Clemens in particular

- The Dodgers and the McCourts' divorce

- Any sports story that includes the phrase "labor unrest" in the first three sentences

- MMA (kidding, EC, kidding. Really.) Let's go with paying NCAA athletes.
