10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (1/31-2/2)

10. Fans Collapse From Heat Exhaustion Waiting For Trains to Super Bowl
            With the power of foresight, these fans could’ve just stayed home instead.

9. Pacers Sign Andrew Bynum
            If nothing else, he gives Indiana six more fouls from a competent big man. If he returns anything close to his peak form from his Lakers days, he’ll provide a massive lift to their bench unit.

8. Dale Jarrett Inducted Into NASCAR Hall of Fame
            The three-time winner of the Daytona 500 and 1999 Winston Cup Champion joins his father Ned, making the Jarrett’s the first father-son driving tandem in the NASCAR Hall. Jarrett was one of the supporting stars during NASCAR’s meteoric rise in the 1990s. We’ll rank the 1993 Daytona 500 (with his dad in the booth for CBS calling the finish) as our favorite DJ moment.

 

7. Both Barcelona, Manchester United Lose
            It’s not often that both of these clubs are defeated in the same weekend.

6. Kevin Durant’s 30-Point Streak Ends
            Fortunately for the current leader in the MVP race, his streak didn’t end because of poor play, but because the Thunder were destroying the Brooklyn Nets.

5. Walter Jones
4. Derrick Brooks           
3. Michael Strahan Voted in to Pro Football Hall of Fame
            The NFL inducted three more guys who were frequent members of No Credentials’ stacked Madden squads in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. Other notable inductees were former Cardinals corner Aeneas Williams, Bills receiver Andre Reed, and Ray Guy, the first punter to ever make it to the Hall of Fame. For whatever reason, the NFL Hall of Fame induction announcement makes me feel like a fossil every year.
       
2. Syracuse Tops Duke in Overtime Thriller
            Duke’s first trip to the Carrier Dome ended up being what Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim described as the best game ever played in the arena. 

1. Seahawks Obliterate Denver
            I’ll say this for Denver…at least they didn’t get shut out.
