Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition

1) Ryan Howard Quickest To 200 HRs
With his 200th homer, Ryan Howard broke someone named Ralph Kiner's previous record in 48 fewer games. It took Kiner, who played in the 40s and 50s (and yes, he's still alive), 706 games to reach 200, while it took Howard just 658. Remarkable. (Not really, but it seemed like a nice thing to say lol.)

2) Riley Interested In Bringing Odom Back To South Beach
Odom has already stated that he only wants to live on the beach, basically saying he'd only be willing to play for the Lakers, Clippers, or Heat (ironically the only 3 teams he's ever played pro ball for) so there's a possibility of this becoming a reality. The problem is the Heat most likely can't afford to pay him much more than the Lakers. But there's no doubt this would be interesting if it really happened. Before being traded for Shaq in 2004, Odom had one of his best seasons in his lone year in a Heat uniform averaging 17 and 10 a game.

3) Wade Ditches Converse For Jordan Brand
Who knows why Wade even signed with Converse in the first play. He was a top 5 draft pick in one of the deepest tracks in NBA history, he couldn't get some of that Nike money?? Well he'll be getting it now that he's decided to signed with Nike's Jordan Brand (why couldn't he just signed with Nike and get his own campaign like LeBron and Kobe??) who interestingly enough owns Converse. Welp we'll see how this shoe turns out.

4) Antoine Walker Arrested In Debt Case
This is just sad. I know you heard the reports about him owing $822,500 in gambling debts in Las Vegas, well the former NBA All-Star was arrested Thursday after a warrant had been issued 2 days before. I don't even know how to feel though because 'Toine made well over $100 million while playing in the NBA, he couldn't have possibly blew through all the cash! Or could he?? Either way, this is just sad.

Possibly even sadder is the fact that he's only 32 with no real injury history and is no longer in the league! That's crazy!

5) Travis Henry Gets 3 Years In Prison
Speaking of sad, former Bronco running back Travis Henry has been sentenced to serve 3 years in a federal prison for financing a drug ring that moved cocaine between Colorado and Montana. Matter of fact, this isn't even sad, its fuckin' tragic! All those kids will be without a father and when he gets out he'll probably be right back in because there's no way he's gonna play in the NFL again so he'll have no way to pay all that child support.

We all make mistakes but this nigga here?? Maaaan!
