    If Vin Baker was tradeable for a lump of meat or a keg of beer, I would do it in a heartbeat!

    Romanian club exchanges defender for large lump of meat

    Mon Feb 27, 9:52 AM ET

    BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romanian second division soccer club UT Arad sold a player in exchange for 15 kilograms of meat, local sport daily Pro Sport reported on Monday.

    However, fourth division Regal Horia made a bad deal because defender Marius Cioara decided to end his footballing career and take off to Spain to find a job in agriculture or construction.

    continued from previous message... I almost forgot to add the last part of the story

    "We are upset because we lost twice - firstly because we lost a good player and secondly because we lost our team's food for a whole week," a Regal Horia official was quoted as saying by the daily in its electronic edition.

    This is so cool it defies description. It wasn't just any old meat, it was the team's food! That's just classic.

    The only thing that could have made this trade better is if Regal Horia threw in 1,000 jumping jacks just to seal the deal.

    Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode talking about George being traded for some chicken?

    Vin sweats a keg of beer when running the treadmill.

    It's been said to taste like Coors Lite.
