10 Awesome Things That Happened This Past Weekend (11/25-11/27)

10. Women Uses Pepper Spray on Fellow Shoppers During Black Friday
            Because you know, it’s that important to get Kinect for your Xbox 360.

9. LSU Demolishes Arkansas
            I hope you like field goal matches, because that’s what we’re more than likely going to get when LSU has to play Alabama again in the BCS Championship Game.

8. Matt Leinart Breaks Collarbone, Texans Win Anyway
            I’m starting to think Houston doesn’t need a quarterback to win the AFC South. Not good news for Andre Johnson fantasy owners, but good news for people planning on betting against the Texans in the first round of the playoffs.

7. Barcelona’s 27-Game Win Streak Ends
            This was noteworthy for me because I was under the impression that Lionel Messi only was on losing teams in World Cup matches.

6. Stevie Johnson Blows Game and Keeps No Credentials 3-Team Teaser Alive
            A 15-yard penalty for excessive celebration (that by the way, should’ve counted as five extra fantasy points, because the clever mocking of Plaxico Burress was fantastic), followed by dropping a pass while Buffalo was attempting to drive for the win were the two blunders for a player who after dropping a touchdown pass against the Steelers last season, asked God on Twitter what he did to Him. Just in case you were curious, God doesn’t have a Twitter account, so he was unable to respond.

5. UNLV Upsets North Carolina
            I was too busy getting my ass kicked in Scrabble to watch this game live, but kudos to the Rebels for getting to 7-0 against the pres-season favorite to win the NCAA title.

4. Sofia is Finally Found, “The Walking Dead” Can Move On
(EDITORS NOTE: If you have the mid-season finale on DVR, skip to number three to not have the show ruined for you)

            I didn’t care if Sofia was found dead, alive, or as a walker, but I needed this storyline to end. The writers of the show had already wasted five episodes on the search for her. It was fitting that she was in Hershel’s barn the entire time the group was out searching. In a way, it was a nod to all of the time wasted by viewers on this plotline.

(EDITORS NOTE: If you don’t watch “The Walking Dead”, none of that made sense to you. In related news, I don’t care)

3. Patriots Push Eagles to Edge of a Cliff
            Thanks to the efforts of Tom Brady and Wes Welker, Eagles fans got to debut the “Fire Andy!” chant. They probably should’ve busted that out three weeks ago.

2. The NBA is Back
            Is there still a bad taste in the mouths of fans after the ridiculous lockout cost two months of the NBA season? Sure, but here’s a list of all the great things to look forward to now that games are set to begin.

“The Big 2 Featuring Chris Bosh”, season 2
Will the Magic Trade Dwight Howard? (oh wait, that’s actually something to dread. ESPN will talk about this incessantly for weeks on end)
Does Kobe and/or the Celtics’ Big 3 Have One More Year Left in the Tank?
Dirk and the Mavericks Defending the Title
Durant and Westbrook Battling for Shots in OKC
DeMarcus Cousins, Tyreke Evans, and Jimmer Fredette Being on the Same NBA Roster

1. Broncos, God’s QB Win in OT in San Diego      
            I saw a guy yesterday wearing a Broncos hat, so naturally I asked him about Tim Tebow. The man had absolutely no faith in him, and if anything, regretted the winning streak the Broncos have gone on because it has destroyed their chances at getting a top quarterback prospect. Don’t be surprised if locusts swarm this man’s home after Tebow’s latest miracle victory in overtime over the pathetic Chargers.
