10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (10/26-10/28)

10. Marcus Lattimore Might Still Be Able to Play Football
            This is great news, considering his knee injury was one of the worst leg injuries we’ve seen in years on a football field. 

9. Vick Ballard Does His Best “Matrix” Impersonation

            We’ll let the video do the talking.

 

8. Jimmie Johnson Dominates Martinsville, Takes Chase Lead

            Jimmie Johnson did exactly what No Credentials predicted he would a week ago, but the bigger story was Brad Keselowski only being down 2 points with three races to play. A sixth place at one of his least favorite tracks has to feel like a win.

7. Oregon Hangs 70 on Colorado

6. Notre Dame Dominates Oklahoma
            Scoring 70 points on a fellow D1 (or bowl sub-division, or whatever the elite division of football is called) school is impressive, but walking into Oklahoma’s field and coming out with a 17-point win takes the cake. Notre Dame deserved to leap frog Oregon in the polls.

5. Rob Gronkowski Celebrates Two Touchdowns

            I’ll take his reenactment of a little nutcracker duder over his pelvic gyrations.

4. Giants Sweep Tigers
            Kudos to the Giants for winning a second World Series in three years that no one other than Giants fans will remember in a decade.

3. Merle Returns to “The Walking Dead”
            No one is more excited about it than my wife.

2. Thunder Trade James Harden to Houston

            I’ll say this about Oklahoma City General Manager Sam Presti…the man has big onions. I personally think that Durant and Westbrook are talented enough to initiate the offense without Harden, and if the draft picks they get prove to have value, the Thunder’s long-term outlook will eventually look brighter.

1. Giants Survive By Mere Inches Against Dallas

            You can add having an apparent game-winning Hail Mary getting overturned to the ways the Dallas Cowboys have lost a game. In all honesty though, they had no business winning, so perhaps it was karma.
