According to the Athens (Ga.) Daily Herald (link via WSJ.com's Daily Fix), Olympian shot putter Adam Nelson is selling himself on eBay. For 6,000 clams — the current price, anyway — you can have your name/business/Web site/plea for love plastered across Nelson's jersey at the upcoming World Track and Field Championships. As of 1:40 ET, the reserve price of $6,000 had not been met. How long until GoldenPalace.com hops in?
