10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (11/22-11/24)

10. Derrick Rose Suffers a Meniscus Tear Against Portland
            The sad ballad of Derrick Rose continues, as he’s likely done for the season.

9. Green Bay And Minnesota Play Too a Draw

            Chances of this are greatly improved when Christian Ponder and Matt Flynn are the opposing quarterbacks, so this result shouldn’t of surprised anyone.

8. Cam Newton Leads Another 4^th Quarter Comeback

            Coming off an emotional home win on Monday Night Football, it would’ve been easy for the Panthers to fall asleep in Miami. They did for about 55 minutes, but Newton rallied them just in time.

7. New York Yankees Pay $85 Million For Brian McCann

            Because anytime you can fork over a ton of cash for a guy who netted 57 RBIs last year, you have to do it. I’d be all in favor of this deal if it were three fewer years and $69 million less.

6. Arizona Pummels Oregon

            For people against space-age football uniforms, they will be grateful that the Oregon Ducks are out of national championship contention.

5. Kansas City Loses Again
            The Chiefs defense was in shambles after losing top pass rushers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali to injury, and Phillip Rivers took full advantage. They could be looking at three straight losses after Denver visits Arrowhead next week.

4. Josh Gordon Goes Bonkers

            Gordon’s 14 catch, 237 yard, one TD performance wasn’t enough for Cleveland to stay close against Pittsburgh, but it was pretty awesome for all three fantasy teams owned by No Credentials. That was a 43-point day for folks playing in standard PPR leagues.

3. Cowboys Try to Choke, Eventually Defeat Giants

            The Cardiac Cowboys were at it again, but fortunately for all anti-Giants fans everywhere, they put New York’s postseason hopes on life support.
       
2. FCS Team Georgia Southern Demoralizes Florida Gators
            Florida’s season has been bad enough, but suffering their worst loss in school history will probably send Head Coach Will Muschamp to the unemployment line.

1. Muffed Punt Gives Patriots Overtime Victory Over Denver

            Sunday night’s wacky game probably had more to do with the brutal wind than anything else. New England is only a game out of the top seed in the AFC.
