10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (2/21-2/23)

10. San Francisco Giants Hire Barry Bonds as a Spring Training Instructor
            No word yet on whether or not his official title will be “Chemical Engineer”.

9. Regan Smith Wins Nationwide Race at Daytona
            For at least one week (and odds are, only one week), Nationwide drivers have more wins than Sprint Cup ones on the junior circuit.

8. Ronda Rousey Doesn’t Need an Armbar to Win
            A swift knee to the liver worked just fine.

7. USA Men’s Hockey Team Forgets How to Score Goals
            That’s a problem when you’re facing Canada for the right to play in the gold medal game, and then getting blown out by Finland with a chance to earn a bronze.

6. Kevin Love Drops First Career Triple Double
            It’s hard to believe that the man that throws the prettiest outlet passes since Bill Walton hadn’t recorded a triple-double yet.

5. Jim Boeheim Loses His Mind
            In the short term, Boeheim’s ejection Saturday night sealed a second straight loss for Syracuse, but going forward perhaps his outburst will help wake his team up for the stretch run.

4. Jason Collins Makes Season Debut For Nets
            Collins historic appearance (he’s the first openly gay athlete to appear in a game in any of the four major sports leagues) resulted in 2 boards, 1 steal, and several hard screens that freed up his teammates.
         
3. Clippers Win a Shootout in Oklahoma City
            Jamal Crawford went bonkers in this one with 36 points, which trumped a 42-10 effort from Kevin Durant. He delivered Los Angeles’ their best road win of the season.
         
2. Canada Dominates Sweden, Wins Olympic Men’s Hockey Gold Medal
            Even on the larger international ice, Canada’s elite defensive corps was able to swallow up the talented Swedes.

1. Dale Earnhardt Dominates Under the Lights, Wins Second Daytona 500
            Withstanding a six-hour rain delay, Junior cranked it up in primetime. You’ll be hard pressed to find a more grateful winner than Dale Earnhardt Jr. yesterday.
