The New York Daily News is reporting that Michael Strahan would return to the Giants for $8 million.

The team was only willing to pay Strahan $6.5 million in the spring, but it's possible the season-ending injury to Osi Umenyiora might have the team willing to spend a bit more. Still, the team is reportedly content to move Mathias Kiwanuka back to defensive end. "I haven't heard from anybody else, so to say if I would or wouldn't is premature," Strahan said, "so I'm enjoying my retired life right now."

For the Giants this would be a good move.

They have lost a lot of players from their nasty defense from last year including their other all pro DE Osi Umenyiora who went down to an injury last Saturday in their preseason matchup against the Jets. Osi is gonna be out for the season.

!!!!

So this would obviously be a good deal for them but what about Michael Strahan?

Well he probably doesn't need the money. With endorsements and his new deal to be an analyst for FOX, he should be good for cash. He has his ring and his opportunity to ride out on top.

Why come back to play for a team thats getting worse NOT better and a team that will NOT be back in the Super Bowl and maybe might not even make the playoffs considering the very tough division they play in.

Naw.  If I was Stray I'd say thanks for all the good years but I'm chillin now.

**Update** The negotiations are underway.

AP - Hawaii's mini-mashers got a little help from Mexico's miscues to win a fourth straight Little League World Series title for the United States.

Tanner Tokunaga smacked two homers and Iolana Akau added a solo blast as the boys from Waipahu, Hawaii, defeated Matamoros, Mexico, 12-3, Sunday to take the biggest prize in youth sports.

Congratulations to the youngsters from Hawaii for winning the title and bringing home the championship.  This along with the Olympics have made this a pretty good month for the USA as far as sports goes.  It won't really be all that great though until football starts.  Thats neither here no there though.

Hawaii won the title in 2005 and now they've won it again to continue the United States recent dominance in the youth tournament.  US teams have now won 4 straight years.

Hawaii's Iolana Akau was the star of the game hitting two home runs and making a great catch (video above).

If you played on they squad and you are reading this, you guys kick ass butt!!!

First of all, I want to congratulate the USA basketball team for proving me wrong and not sucking despite the fact that Spain gave them a pretty good game. Good job guys, I'm sure they've having mad fun over there right now.

Second, I had a crazy weekend. Drunk as hell at a foam party in Houston. I always wanted to go to a foam party with lots of asian girls in bikini's dancing in the foam, it was everything I imagined and more.

Third, I've visiting home soon!!! Jersey here I come.

I am average soccer fan, whenever the World Cup is on I'll usually check it out and I've even seen a few MLS games.

One of the biggest things that got me into soccer wasn't the actual sport though, it's things like this and this that help to keep my love of the beautiful sport going.

So naturally when I run across videos like this one from World Star Hip Hop of banned hotties juggling (soccer) balls in scantily clad outfits, I'm all over it.

As if being one of the top basketball players in the world, with millions in salary and endorsements, and a worldwide fanbase wasn't enough, LeBron James also gets to have his Hummer redesigned on TV (probably for free).

Here's a video of Lebron James getting new additions  redesigned on the Speed channel.

Being a Cincinnati Reds fan must suck.

The Red haven't made the playoffs since 1995. They've had some glimmers of hope with guys like Ken Griffey Jr but for the most part they get overlooked.

Things have gotten so bad in Cincy that the mascot decided to team up with the local news to try and convince people to go to the games. I doubt that it worked.

There's something about celebrities that makes normal people feel like they can do no wrong or at least that was the case before sites like Perez Hilton and Deadspin came out and started making them look stupid.

One example of that is Kanye West.

When you see things like that it makes you look at those celebs in a different light.

So what happens when the 21 year old Bow Wow goes up against the 33 year old Nelly?

Nelly gets his ankles broken. So ladies when you think of Nelly lookin like this, make sure you remember him gettin his ankles broken.

Remember Danny Almonte and that whole controversy?

Well these kids are all grown up and the kid smallest kid on one of the teams Almonte dominated is getting into the majors before Almonte.

Outside the lines has the whole story.
