It's not going to happen. There is no way the league lets the conservative radio talk show host own a piece of the Rams, even if that piece is a blade of grass from the team's practice field. No way.

champion, Johnny Benson, and his No. 1 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra,
began the 2009 season without sponsor.
After getting a two race deal from K&N Filters, Benson's team continued on without sponsorship.
Then Johnny Benson found some sponsorship. It was a gun company. The
name was undisclosed, and Benson and the team submitted it to NASCAR
for approval.
NASCAR came back and told Benson that the sponsor was disapproved.
But the Fox-owned Speed TV, which broadcasts most of the truck races, threw a wrench into those plans by saying it would avoid putting the sponsor on the air, according to a story at MLive.com.
"We have somebody in the works to do it, but TV said they
would avoid us if we had this sponsor, and it's a gun manufacturer,"
Benson said. "We are not sure why that would be the case, but that's
the information they are giving us. We have to choose whether we want
to head down that road or not. We would hate to have good finishes and
run in the top three and have TV avoid us for that reason.
"Originally, I said NASCAR had revoked that, and it wasn't. NASCAR
called me Tuesday after I had said that they had shot it down," Benson
added. "Apparently it is the TV. It is a very interesting scenario. We
have had other (gun) manufacturers in there, and why it is an issue
today, I don't know. I haven't had a conversation with them
[thanks for nothin] A federal appeals court ruled agents had no right to
seize baseball's anonymous drug-testing results from 2003, an infamous
list that tarnished America's pastime and some of its biggest stars.
The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is a victory for
the players' union, which has argued for years to have the results of
the 104 players who allegedly tested positive for performance-enhancing
drugs in 2003 returned.

The White Sox pitcher shut down the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-0 on Thursday.

Traction is incredibly good, due to the grippy material, the separation of the toes,
and the addition of siping, or tiny zigzag cuts etched into the soles that expand into little treads as the sole flexes.
The VFFs are also surprisingly comfortable. Each toe is snuggled
inside its own little pocket, which is not only cozy, it also gives
your feet a surprising amount of feedback about the ground you're
standing on. Your toes, freed from their typical leather prisons, act
like a tiny topography sensor array.
