If you've followed my blog closely enough through my 2 and a half years here, you'll have noticed that I take a sarcastic look at sports. I feel humor about something wrong is better than anger, because you don't gurt anybody with humor. Today's post is not about something wrong, but rather about something right that surprised even me.

Lamar Odom reportedly got a $35 million offer from Miami to return to play for them. Knowing Odom's history, he'll sign with...the Grizzlies to further show inconsistency!

The Heat are also rumored to be wanting to trade for Carlos Boozer. This is great...for me, because we'll have two of the most inconsistent players in NBA history together! Blog-topia!

Yao Ming will have season-ending foot surgery in hopes of returning for the 2010-11 season. Where he will promtply suffer another season-ending
