10 Awesome Things That Happened This Past Weekend (12/2-12/4)

10. Herman Cain Drops Out of 2012 Presidential Race

            For comedies sake, I was hoping we could at least have Cain in the race through March.

9. LSU Smashes Georgia

            Not that the match-up was really in serious danger (most experts agreed that LSU would still play for the national championship even if they lost Saturday), but now we are officially set up for Field Goal Fest II between Alabama and LSU.

8. Jason Garrett Ices His Own Kicker

            I’m glad I didn’t watch this game live, or else I think my head would’ve exploded. Thanks for blowing an opportunity at building a two game cushion in the NFC East Garrett.

7. Southern Miss Upsets Houston, Costs C-USA Millions 

            Reportedly, each school in the conference misses out on $500,000 now that Houston will no longer be slated to play in a BCS game.

6. Cam Newton Goes Bonkers

            Newton set the single-season record for rushing touchdowns for a quarterback while leading Carolina’s blitzkrieg of Tampa Bay.

5. Kentucky Hangs on Against North Carolina

            It’s very rare that a college basketball game in December feels like it should’ve been played in March, but that’s what everyone got Saturday in Lexington.

4. Bears Lose Thanks to Chiefs Hail Mary

            As horrendous as Tyler Palko has been, it’s fitting that his first touchdown pass was a Hail Mary. As for Chicago, they could be finished without both Jay Cutler and Matt Forte for the remainder of the regular season.
      
3. Aaron Rodgers is Clutch, Packers 12-0
            After New York tied the game, Aaron Rodgers had 58 seconds to drive the Packers down the field. I feel like he probably could’ve accomplished this feat in 8 seconds.
       
2. Tiger is Back
            Woods stole the Chevron World Challenge with two birdies on 17 and 18 to win his first tournament in two years. When Tiger returns in January for the start of the 2012 season, I fully expect him to have Paulina James on arm and Sasha Grey on the other.
          
1. God’s QB Delivers Again
            After finally completing over 60% of his passes in a game, I expect Tim Tebow to fix the global economy by the end of the month.
