10. Big Ten Names New Divisions For 2011
I cheated for this one, because this actually happened today, but the names the Big Ten came up with for their divisions are so ridiculous I had to write about them. Seriously, “Leaders” and “Legends” are the best names they could come up with? Hopefully a Babe Ruth league based out of Arkansas won’t sue them for copyright infringement.
I did some hack research on the Internet, and was able to uncover the list of names that didn’t quite make the cut. Here they are.
- Apples and Oranges
- Captain and Tennille
- Sonny and Cher
- SpongeBob and Patrick
- The One and The Only
- Red Bull and Jagermeister
- Seinfeld and Costanza
- McDouble and Cool Ranch Doritos
- Backstreet Boys and N’Sync
- Deep Dish and Thin Crust
9. Ovechkin Goes Bonkers
I’ll keep this short because roughly 1% of my audience cares about hockey. The Washington Capitals were getting pummeled by the New York Rangers on Sunday. Alex Ovechkin got angry and tried to fight everyone on the Rangers. It was a good time.
8. St. Pierre Dominates Again at UFC 124
It took GSP about 30 seconds to make Josh Koscheck’s right eye look like it had gotten hit by a watermelon that was traveling 50 mph directly at his face.
7. Florida Steals Mack Brown’s Chosen Successor From Texas
What would you do if the best job in your chosen field was promised to you in five years, but you had a chance to take the second best gig right now? You’re instincts would probably be to wait, but after Conan O’Brien’s harrowing case with NBC, I think it makes sense to take the job that’s open right now. Kudos to Will Muschamp.
6. “The Cliff Lee Saga” Continues
ESPN.com officially dubbed the Cliff Lee free agency chase a “saga” today on their homepage. Hey, if it worked for the folks at “Twilight”, then why not give it a shot to drum up interest.
5. New England Patriots Destroy Chicago
What happened when an unstoppable force (Patriots offense) met an immovable object (Bears defense)? We found out that the Bears were very, very movable.
4. Cowboys Runningback Tashard Choice Asks For Michael Vick’s Autograph
While watching this happen live, I found it odd that a player on a team that just lost would ask the opposing team’s quarterback for an autograph. This is an event that definitely wouldn’t of happened back in the day.
3. Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Heckles His Starting Point Guard
This story is all the more hilarious when you remember that Sterling is paying Baron Davis $13 million to play point guard this season.
2. Jets Assistant Coach Trips Dolphins Player During a Play
As brash as the Jets are, it’s no surprise that their strength and conditioning coach was way too obvious while tripping the Dolphins gunner on a punt. Did he think he could pull this off without one of the 212 cameras used for telecasts catching it?
1. Metrodome Roof Collapses
It’s a shame that Brad Childress still wasn’t the head coach of the Vikings. He could’ve blamed the roof collapse on Brett Favre.
