By Cyd Zeigler | June 15, 2009, 4:17 pm PDT


  • L.A. Lakers win title. And after 15 titles, Lakers fans still riot in the streets when their team wins. Police arrest 25 scumbags, police officers hurt. Adam Morrison (right) now has more titles than Charles Barkley and Karl Malone.

  • Pittsburgh Penguins win the Stanley Cup, become first major pro team in 30 years to win a finals game 7 on the road. Red Wings whining that Sidney Crosby took too long to shake their hands.

  • After saying he was disappointed with finishing second a couple times in his first meet back, Michael Phelps finishes second twice in his second meet back.

  • Red Wing Nicklas Lidstrom was speared in the testicles, missed Game 4 for surgery.
