The Weak Ender: Fox Out of Transformers

Megan Fox (that's not her) is out for "Transformers 3" ... she's going to be filling in for Ronnie James Dio on the Rainbow in the Dark tour. Don't clap, that was a pure thievery from the Bain. Now Fox had some sort of blow up with Michael Bay during the previous Transformer movie, and you know, she should be careful. A few more diva moments, a bottle of Grey Goose and she could be the next Lindsay Lohan.

These broads need to learn.

But with Fox out of "Transformers 3," that means I have no chance of seeing it. Oh, don't worry, I wasn't going to watch the movie anyway. But now I can pretend there is a reason. And honestly, Olivia Munn (that's her) would be a better choice for that movie. We need a Facebook movement for that. As much as I loved Betty White on "Saturday Night Live," give me an Olivia Munn in "Transformers 3" page immediately.

�Saturday Night Live� does not have the best record for translating sketches to movies � aside from �Wayne�s World� and the �Blues Brothers.� Two others � �It�s Pat� and �Superstar� � drew about as many fans as your typical late-season Jaguars game. And let�s not even talk about �A Night at the Roxbury.�

One has to wonder though, what would have happened had a film on Da Bears Superfans been produced. Fans at this summer�s Just for Laughs festival in Chicago will get a chance to find out with a live reading of Da Bears Movie Dat Wasn�t (via the Chicago Tribune).

�Da Bears Movie Dat Wasn�t� will be a live reading of a never-produced screenplay, to star George Wendt, Joe Mantegna, Robert Smigel, Bob Odenkirk, Richard Roeper (as a narrator) and Mike Ditka (as himself).

The story: Da� Bears have been sold, and the beloved Soldier Field is to be converted into all luxury boxes for the rich. And here�s the thing: This really was a screenplay, written back in the mid-1990s by Smigel and Odenkirk for Paramount based on characters from the �Saturday Night Live� sketch, said Smigel after the announcement Tuesday. It never got made.

Really? �MacGruber� gets made, but this awesomeness does not? Really, �Saturday Night Live?� Somewhere the �Lady�s Man� gets the green light, and yet this cinematic (just guessing) masterpiece never gets made. Disappointing. Honestly, �Coneheads� � ah, you get the point.

To quote a former SNL castmember John Belushi � �Road trip!� Seriously, a movie with Mike Ditka? The Academy could not overlook this one.

THE CHARGERS have released details on a proposed downtown stadium (via the San Diego Union-Tribune). The current proposal by the team would put a new Chargers stadium just blocks from PetCo Park, home of the Padres. Honestly, anybody who has ever been to a game at PetCo would likely endorse this idea.

Of course, it's not going to happen. Why delay the inevitable here, just move the team to the City of Industry or Downtown Los Angeles. That is going to happen. The way the Padres have bent over San Diego, there is no way a stadium for the Chargers is going to be approved. Watch, the Chargers, Vikings and Jaguars will all be playing here in 2011.

Oh, and the Raiders, too.

PACKERS QB Aaron Rodgers had some pressure replacing legend Brett Favre in Green Bay. But Rodgers does have the endorsement of another legendary Packers quarterback, Bart Starr according to the Green Bay Press Gazette.

Said Starr, �I think he is an outstanding quarterback, and they�re getting an even stronger team around him. I like his style, just everything about him. I think he executes the system, how they run their offense. I�m thrilled that they�ve gotten some offensive support around him. I think he�s going to be a great quarterback.�

Starr also came out and said that Green Bay is really cold.

IF YOU missed it, Brett Favre promised the Southern Miss baseball team that if it reached the College World Series for a second consecutive year, he would definitely come back to the NFL. Millions of football fans suddenly hated the Southern Miss baseball team.

And the bad news for Angels fans, Jared Weaver promised Long Beach State players that the Angels would make it back to the World Series when the Dirt Bags reached the College World Series. Damn it.

AND FINALLY ...

Buccaneers CB Ronde Barber told the Tampa Bay Tribune that he is wary of pursuing a career in television, in the wake of his twin brother, Tiki�s recent dubious publicity.

Translation, Ronde is saying that when he leaves his wife and baby mama for some 19-year old piece of (donkey), he does not want the whole world to know about it. He would rather slut around in the dark, or have people think it was Tiki.
