10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (2/7-2/9)

10. Boxing Match Between DMX and George Zimmerman Cancelled
            Score one for political correctness.

9. Sage Kotsenberg Wins First Gold Medal of Winter Olympics
            USA! USA! USA! USA!

8. Marcus Smart Shoves a Fan, Earns a Three Game Suspension
            This could morph him into the wildcard of the NBA Draft if teams overreact and he free falls out of the top 10.

7. Peyton Manning Plays Golf
            There’s nothing really noteworthy about this, other than Manning spending a bunch of quality time with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

6. Iowa State Senior Melvin Ejim Nets Big 12 Record 48 Points
            Incredibly, it only took Ejim 24 field goal attempts for him to have his record setting night.

5. Carl Almost Got Eaten on “The Walking Dead”
            If he did, it would’ve been number 2 on this list.

4. Magic Net Upset of Oklahoma City    
3. Miami Struggles in Utah
            Score two for tankers. At least the Thunder got back on track Sunday thanks to 41 points from Kevin Durant.
        
2. George Hill Carries Pacers Over Portland
            Indiana-Portland would probably be the NBA’s worst-case scenario for a NBA Finals (in terms of TV ratings), but based on Friday night’s overtime thriller, it would be entertaining to die-hard hoop fans.

1. NFL Draft Prospect Michael Sam Comes Out
            Hopefully twenty years from now this won’t have to be a story (because it won’t be a big deal), but Sam will become the first openly gay NFL player. He was an All-American who led the SEC in sacks in 2013, so he’s got a chance to produce at the pro level. He should be an inspiration to everyone to be proud of who you are.
