Well, Michael Vick is once again in the NFL. In a sorta surprise move, he landed in Philadelphia, signing a 2 year deal worth nearly $7 million in base salary form the Eagles. Indeed. I was surprised because some thought he might sign with a lesser profile, less pressure-filled environment. Going to Philly is akin to Barry Bonds signing with the Yankees or Donte Stallworth signing with the Lions (oops, forget that one!).

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
