(Every week there are a number of stories slip through the cracks here at ShakedownSports. These are just a few of them.)

–Chris Leak is returning to the football field. The former Florida quarterback says he will play in the brand new AAFL (All American Football League) this April. Leak spent training camp with the Chicago Bears, so playing in the AAFL should allow him to work with a much more talented offense.

–Todd Bertuzzi has offered Steve Moore $350,000 to settle the $15 million lawsuit Moore filed against him for his on-ice attack. Yep, there’s nothing quite ending a guy’s career and then lowballing him with an offer that’s 3% of what he’s asking for.

–Eric Lindros announced that he will retire. The good news for Lindros is that now he will have much more time to spend on his favorite hobby of suffering from post-concussion syndrome.

–Earlier this week middleweight boxing champion Kelly Pavlik severely cut his hands and arms in a window cleaning accident. One report said he needed 108 stitches, but Pavlik’s trainer said it wasn’t serious. What I don’t understand is that Pavlik is a wealthy boxing champion—why is he dangerously cleaning his own windows? And what was he cleaning them with? An uzi?
