10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (2/28-3/2)

10. Another Patriot Ends Up in Jail
            At least they knew about Alfonzo Dennard’s legal trouble before they drafted him. Wait, that’s not a good thing.

9. Daryl Doesn’t Hook Up With the Singing Blond on “The Walking Dead”
            He did cry though, which was something I previously thought was impossible.

8. Jimmer Fredette Joins the Bulls
            Freeing himself from the circus that is the Sacramento Kings, we might finally be able to yell “JIMMER!” again.

7. Kevin Harvick Dominates in Phoenix
            Nearly as notable as Harvick smoking the field in his second start for Stewart-Haas was Dale Earnhardt Jr. backing up his Daytona 500 victory with a runner-up finish.

6. Jaromir Jagr Nets His 700th Career Goal
            For a guy who was one of the ten best players in the legendary “NHL 94” game to still somehow be relevant today is truly astonishing. We’d love to see Jagr shipped to a contender for the Stanley Cup playoffs, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

5. Wichita State Finishes 31-0
            Instincts tell you to dismiss Wichita State, but one needs to remember that the school’s last loss occurred in last year’s NCAA Final Four.

4. Philadelphia Honors Allen Iverson
            It’s sad how many people have already forgotten how spectacular The Answer was on a nightly basis, so it was great to see his number raised to the rafters.
        
3. Marcus Smart Carries Oklahoma State Over Kansas
            There isn’t another player in the country who’s draft stock has fluctuated more than Smarts. His 20-point second half against the Jayhawks should put him back in the top-8 picks discussion.
         
2. Blackhawks and Penguins Play a Ridiculous Outdoor Game
            Sure it was a 5-1 Blackhawks blowout, but there’s something about NHL hockey played in the snow that is captivating.

1. St. Louis Makes Blockbuster Trade For Ryan Miller
            We love it when teams push all their chips into the table to acquire a superstar to put them over the hump. Miller is the stud goaltender St. Louis needed to make them legitimate Stanley Cup contenders.
