10 Awesome Things That Happened This Past Weekend (2/24-2/26)


10. Utah’s Jeremy Evans Wins Slam Dunk Contest
            Jeremy Evans was nearly booed off the court after his first dunk. It’s a broken system if this guy somehow won the worldwide fan vote.

9. Daytona 500 is Postponed For First Time Ever
            Read this article by Ed Hinton for a fun story about how the media used to think Big Bill France made a deal with God, and how it ran out Sunday.

8. Ryan Braun Joins Brewers Spring Training
            Braun could hit 95 home runs this year, and that still wouldn’t be more impressive than getting his 50 game PEDs suspension reversed.

7. Red Sox Ban Alcohol From Clubhouse
            No word yet on whether or not a ban on fried chicken is coming next.

6. Robert Griffin III Runs 4.41 40 Yard Dash
            I’m not big on the NFL Combine, but a 4.4 40 by a quarterback is ridiculous.

5. Rick Grimes Saves Shane’s Life For Some Reason on “The Walking Dead”
            Rick picked Shane up from a bus surrounded by walkers just minutes after Shane tried to throw a metal wrench at his skull. He’s a bigger man than I.

4. James Buescher Survives Crash Fest, Wins Nationwide Race at Daytona
            In a scene straight out of Days of Thunder, Buescher dodged 10 wrecking cars to claim his first career NASCAR win. Crazy.

3. Kevin Love Nips Kevin Durant in 3-Point Shootout
            Rarely do two superstars fight for victory in the 3-point contest, but that’s what fans got Saturday night. It was the best match-up the NBA could’ve gotten.

2. Anthony Davis Goes Bonkers, Helps Kentucky Seal SEC Title
            28 points, 11 boards, and six boards are monster stats in a college game (unless your name is Lew Alcinder. Then it would just be mediocre). Davis is the clear number one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.

1. Lebron is the Goat Again, West Wins 152-149 in NBA All-Star Game
            Lebron James was brilliant during the East’s furious fourth quarter rally, but all of the talking heads are going on and on about him throwing the ball away with five seconds left.
