Sports In Brief

• Ex-Flyer Rick Tocchet was sentenced to two years probation for his role in an illegal gambling ring. (Because sports gambling should only be done by giant monolithic corporations in resort towns.) A former New Jersey state trooper has to spend 5 years in prison, because he’s not a former hockey player. [KYW 1060]

• Donovan McNabb will play for the first time since last year’s injury tonight in a preseason game at the Linc. Meanwhile, Freddie Mitchell will be begging for change outside the stadium. [Daily News]

• In other Donovan news, he has a frightening new commercial for Vitamin Water. A relative of Orville Redenbacher helps him train to get back to football, or something. This ad also contains the newspaper the Manayunk Gazette. [The 700 Level]

Darren Daulton: “People talk about speaking with lizards and stuff.” [Comcast SportsNet]
