The Akron Beacon Journal also says that James may be placed into the Minnesota Twins farm system. However, ESPN's Buster Olney believes this is unlikely.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings have released quarterback Brett Favre in order to make rofom for LeBron on their roster.
Reports state that Favre is headed to Cleveland to replace James as the Cavaliers' superstar. The Browns' need for a decent quarterback may bring Brett back into the NFL for another season.
Unfortunately for Favre, quarterback Jake Delhomme stands in his way. On Favre's move to Cleveland, Delhomme said, "I don't think I have much to worry about. He [Favre] is the all-time NFL leader in career interceptions. Since I throw so few interceptions, it shouldn't be an issue."
Despite Delhomme's confidence, Favre is the projected starter for Cleveland.
Essentially, LeBron James has been traded for Brett Favre straight up, making Manny Ramirez's dugout forecast that he will be traded for Favre incorrect.
He met his son, Andrew, who's a Marine stationed there. But Childress didn't expect to see his son there, as he explained to SI.com's Peter King.
He told King that the Marines had the younger Childress stand in a line with his fellow soldiers whom the
Minnesota Vikings coach greeted as he disembarked from a plane.
The Childresses embraced in a bear hug that lasted about 60 seconds, King reported.
Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress got an emotional surprise when he landed at a military base in Afghanistan during a USO trip last Friday.
The Mariners defensive end, 31, was born in Jamaica and came to the U.S. when he was 13. He lived in Jersey City, N.J., while attending high school. Wright said his mother, Paula, was responsible for making sure he and his brothers and sisters received their green cards and were able to stay and succeed in the U.S.
"She's the best mom in the world," Wright said. "She brought us to this country. I come from a poor background and was able to live my dream, so I have to give back and tell someone else, 'You can do this, too.'"
Wright's commitment was born out of a lesson he learned from his mother during his youth, and it continues to serve him to this day.
One day in high school, he came home and told her he had quit the football team.
"'I never raised a quitter,' I told him," Paula Wright said. "So, I said, 'When you come back in this house, make sure you're on the football team!' The next day, he came back and said, 'Mommy, I'm on the football team.'"
Conor Wall, resource coordinator for Sarah's Hope, said that while many who help out at an organization like Sarah's Hope are timid and quiet, Wright is not.
"
He's been great in the kitchen," Wall said. "He's friendly and open; he talks to all the kids. He's very helpful."
