10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (11/15-11/17)

10. Austin Dillon Wins Nationwide Title
            Sadly, no one other than his grandfather gave a shit about this accomplishment, as Dillon didn’t even win a race this year in a series dominated by Cup regulars.

9. Kobe Returns to Practice
            This development doesn’t mean the Black Mamba will be back on the court in a week, but it’s a great sign that one of the greatest players of the post-Jordan era will be back soon.

8. Georges St. Pierre “Beats” Johny Hendricks
            Rather than use a ton of expletives to describe my disdain for the judges of this fight (EDITORS NOTE: We had money on this fight), we’ll let Dana White do the talking.

 

7. USC Upsets Stanford
            It’s cool that Lane Kiffin is no longer involved with the USC program, because I feel like I can actually celebrate their successes again.

6. Indiana Pacers Finally Lose a Game
            More vital than that fact was the effectiveness of Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. The 2011 MVP looked a little sluggish in the early parts of the season, but appears to be hitting his stride.

5. Steelers Show Life, Rally Against Detroit
            Believe it or not, Pittsburgh is only a game out of the sixth seed in the AFC.

4. Denver Dominates Kansas City
            Last night was a prime example of why you really can’t trust Alex Smith if you have aspirations for a Super Bowl run.

3. Chicago Bears Outlast Weather, Baltimore Ravens in Overtime
            It only made sense that a game delayed two hours by the threat of a tornado went into overtime.
       
2. Saints Capitalize on Late 49ers Miscues, Win 23-20
            A costly roughing the passer penalty (which maybe back in the day would’ve been legal, but not anymore) and a fair catch interference call ultimately ruined what had been an impressive effort by the underdog 49ers.

1. Jimmie Johnson Wins 6th Sprint Cup
            Johnson did everything he had to do to secure a championship that officially opens the quest to equal Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt as the only drivers to ever win seven titles.
