To the dismay of Dana White and millions of disgruntled MMA fans everywhere, a dislocated elbow wasn’t enough to hold down Jon Jones.
9. Denny Hamlin Dominates in New Hampshire
A
solid bounce-back by No Credentials preseason championship pick. Even despite
his crew trying to hijack his qualifying effort, Hamlin methodically picked his way through the field
from his 32nd starting spot. He’ll be one of the favorites next week
when the circuit moves on to Dover.
8. Bears Win 23-6
This
game wasn’t really all that awesome, but I did
pick Chicago in the Sportsbook 100K Survivor Pool.
7. Notre Dame Shuts Down Michigan
It’s
time to call your crazy Catholic uncle who gave up on college football 12 years
ago…Notre Dame is back.
6. Falcons, Texans, and Cardinals Last Undefeated
Teams Left in NFL
Who
had that trio pegged as the last teams to lose in the league? All three look
legit after impressive wins Sunday.5. Minnesota Vikings Shock 49ers
I’ll be the first to dub Sunday’s shocking result in the Metrodome “The Christian Ponder Game”.
4. Replacement Refs Make Complete Mess of
Lions-Titans Game
I’d
knock the replacements more, but this game did turn out to be the most entertaining one of the week, so maybe
they deserve some of the credit. Here’s the list of wacky things that happened.
-
A reenactment of the famous “Music City Miracle” occurred,
resulting in a 65-yard punt return for the Titans.
-
Jake Locker completed touchdowns of both 61 and 71 yards.
-
Lions runningback Mikel Leshoure ran for 100 yards, which I
think is the first time a Lions runningback broke the century mark since Barry
Sanders in 1998.
-
Tennessee was up 20-9. Detroit was then up 27-20. Tennessee
was then up 41-27. Naturally, the game went to overtime.
-
The game went to overtime after Detroit scored two touchdowns
in 18 seconds, with the second being of the Hail-Mary variety.
I don’t think the writers of “Playmakers” could of
pumped more crazy shit into one script than what happened in this game.
3. Sean Payton Does Matter, Saints Are 0-3
As soon as his suspension is over, Sean Payton better be asking for a raise.
2. Ravens Win Wild, 31-30 Game Over New England
1. Torrey Smith Honors His Brother
Let’s forget for a moment that the refs put on one of the most uneven displays of officiating in NFL history.. Let’s also forget that Bill Belichick grabbed an official, and then his head looked like it was going to explode during his post-game press conference. Let’s instead focus on Torrey Smith, who’s brother passed away in a motorcycle accident just 19 hours before kickoff. Playing on an hour of broken sleep, Smith caught six passes for 127 yards and two critical touchdowns. His first fired up the Ravens after the Patriots stormed out to a 13-0 lead. It was hard not to get goose bumps as he pointed to the sky. It’s usually overkill to say that any professional athlete’s performance was inspiring, but Torrey Smith’s accomplishments Sunday night fit that description
