10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (11/8-11/10)

10. Jimmie Johnson On the Verge of 6th Sprint Cup Title
            Unless I’m too busy playing Madden this week, we’ll talk more about this in a couple of days.

9. Swift Kick to the Skull Earns Vitor Belfort Knockout of Dan Henderson
            Belfort was on fire from the get-go in this one, and has set himself up to earn a date with the winner of the Anderson Silva-Chris Weidman rematch.

8. 17-Year Old Erik Jones Wins Truck Race at Phoenix
            I’m pretty sure that when I was seventeen I was mostly focused on finding a person of age to purchase a 30-rack of Budweiser. Jones is the second person under 18 to win in one of NASCAR’s top three series this year, joining Chase Elliott.

7. Spurs Demoralize New York Knicks
            Even though New York hasn’t fielded a championship caliber team since I was in junior high school, I take great pleasure in the shortcomings of their team. I guess I’m just an asshole.

6. Saints Convert NFL Record 40 First Downs
            Sadly, my Cowboys only ran 43 plays en route to getting shellacked by 32 points.

5. Jeff Green Buzzer Beater Delivers Boston Shocking Win Over Heat
            There won’t be a lot of moments like this in 2013-14, so Celtics fans should cherish this one.

4. Jacksonville Jaguars Win a Game
            Shockingly, it still counts even though Tennessee was forced to play Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB for the majority of the game.
      
3. Ravens Survive a Bengals Hail Mary, Win in Overtime
            Baltimore’s field goal in overtime negated a Bengals Hail Mary at the buzzer that looked like it happened just like it was drawn up on a chalkboard.

2. Detroit Takes Control of NFC North
            Incredibly, the Lions have now swept the Bears and have a game lead over both Chicago and Green Bay. Even better, both of their division rivals will likely be starting Josh McCown and some guy named Scott Tolzien next week.

1. Panthers Prove They’re Legit, Win at San Francisco
            Carolina demolished four inferior opponents in a row, but grinding out a defensive struggle against the defending NFC champs is a big deal.
