1) Vick Conditionally Reinstated
Here's my question: What more can this guy prove?? He committed a crime, but its one that has NOTHING to do with his character or the way his behaves day to day. I mean, its not like he was a rapist and now Goodell needs to see that he's done with his raping ways. He fought dogs! He went to jail and lost all of his money, do you seriously think he's gonna start another dog fighting ring?? Exactly! So like I said, what it there to prove??
2) Lincecum Throws Career-High 15 K's
There was a bet last night on ESPN's Streak For The Cash about who'd throw more strikeouts Tim Lincecum or Felix Hernandez (needless to say who won), but I missed it because the Yankees/Rays game ran long. That would've been an easy win though, this kid is a beast!
3) Wade Continues His Recruitment Of Odom In L.A.
The Lakers already stupidly lowered their offer to him so maybe Wade will bring him back to Miami. We all know Lamar wants to live on the beach and what better beach is there to live on than South Beach?? (Well, besides the beaches in Rio of course.)
Lets talk about the Lakers for a second though. What the fuck are they doing?? Does Mitch Kupchak really think the Lakers can repeat without Odom?? I hope not because they DEFINITELY can't.
4) Hornets, Bobcats Swap Okafor, Chandler
The Hornets had to get rid of Chandler. After stupidly trying to trade him last season shit was never gonna be the same again.
On another note, remember when "Dwight Howard or Emeka Okafor" was actually a discussion?? Awww, the good ol days lol.
5) Jonathan Bender Plots NBA Comeback
Believe it or not, Bender has done quite well for himself outside of basketball. He should stick to that because he wasn't that good before the injuries and I doubt he'll be better now.

Jonathan Sanchez Throws Giants' First No-Hitter Since 1976
If you asked me who'd be the first San Francisco Giants pitcher to throw a no-hitter this year I would've bet my life it'd be MLB strikeout leader and rotation ace Tim Lincecum. Nobody is touching that kid's stuff right now. Hell, I would've said Randy Johnson or Barry Zito even but never ever 3-8 pitcher Jonathan Sanchez. I do you one better, I never even heard of Jonathan Sanchez before I put it on SportsCenter last night.
Anyway, Sanchez struck out 11 in his nearly perfect game (the Giants did allow one error) and becomes the first Giants' pitcher to throw a no-hitter since 1976, and first Giants' lefty since 1929. Oh, and did I mention his dad just happened to be in the stands last night?? This is such a great story, but if I'm the Giants I'm giving this guy season ticket tod...yesterday!
Its only a matter of time before Lincecum throws one, but I just hope this doesn't make him start forcing it.
