10 Awesome Things That Happened This Past Weekend (12/7-12/9)

10. Dodgers Sign Zach Greinke, Korean Lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu
            If nothing else, the past decade of major league baseball has proven that spending money recklessly doesn’t guaruantee a playoff spot, much less a World Series, but kudos to the Dodgers for ignoring this trend and throwing cash all over the place.

9. Royals Trade James Shields to Tampa Bay for Minor League Stud Wil Myers
            I have a hard time believing that the Rays are going to end up getting outsmarted by Kansas City. If Myers is in the majors by the end of May, pencil him in for AL Rookie of the Year.

8. Giants Score 52 Points
7. Seahawks Score 58 Points
            In Seattle’s case, the score was 58-0, which is the type of result that should relegate Arizona to the Arena League.

6. Johnny Manziel Wins the Heisman
            I love the name Johnny Manziel.

5. Adrian Peterson Goes Bonkers Again
            The fact that Peterson has a legitimate shot at a 2,000 yard rushing season less than 365 days after tearing his left ACL should go down as one of the most remarkable athletic achievements of the last 20 years.
         
4. Lionel Messi Sets Record For Most Goals in One Year
            Wasn’t Messi getting hauled off the pitch on a stretcher last week?

3. RGIII Nearly Blows Out ACL, Redskins Win Anyway   
            Even without their franchise player, the Redskins were able to pull off an epic comeback.

2. Down Nine in the Fourth Quarter, Cowboys Keep Season Alive
            Leave it to the sorry Bengals to make the Cowboys look like a competent fourth quarter team.

1. Pacquiao Hits the Canvas
            I’d like to formally thank Juan Manuel Marquez for finally putting to bed the talk of a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. mega fight.
