10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (11/1-11/3)

10. Justin Blackmon Suspended For Rest of 2013 Season
            I’m glad real life events don’t impact my Madden franchise.

9. Jimmie Johnson Dominates at Texas
            It might look like gloom and doom for the legions of 48-haters, but one must remember that Johnson also had a seven-point lead at this point in the standings last year over eventual champion Brad Keselowski.

8. Russell Westbrook Returns For the Thunder
            There’s no one happier about this development than Kevin Durant.

7. Nebraska Hits a Hail Mary as Time Expires Against Northwestern
            In Lawrence Phillips’ hey-day, the Cornhuskers would’ve been beating Northwestern by seventy points, but that’s a conversation for another day.

6. Brooklyn Nets Knock Off Miami in Home Debut
            A win on the first day of November will ultimately mean nothing in determining the NBA title, but at least the Nets displayed the necessary amount of chemistry to defeat the two-time defending champions. On a personal note, it’s really weird watching Pierce and Garnett in anything other than Celtics green.

5. Cowboys Need 90-Yard Drive to Beat the Third Worst Team in Football
            But hey, a win’s a win right?

4. Patriots Roll With Gronk and Amendola
            It’s a shame that these two guys will be lucky to be healthy for three more games together at the same time.
      
3. Red Sox Honor Boston Marathon Victims During World Series Parade
            Ultimately, the most lasting memory of the 2013 Red Sox will be David Ortiz declaring “This is our fucking city” the day after the marathon bomber was captured. It was fitting that the world champions stopped and paid an emotional tribute at the finish line.

2. Down 21-0, Seahawks Rally Against Winless Tampa Bay
            I was ready to unleash a 700-word rant about how I planned on ceasing my efforts to brainwash my son into becoming a Cowboys fan because they have been such a shitty team for 15 years and should be embarrassed about how they played against the Vikings, but then Seattle almost lost to one of the two winless teams in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE at home.

1. The Pizza Man Delivers Seven Touchdown Passes
            For seriously fucked up fantasy football teams that were forced to call upon Nick Foles this week to cover a bye, your incompetence was rewarded.
