I’d normally have no issue with Commander in Chief gave his two sense on a sports issue, but the last time I checked we are still in the middle of a government shutdown.
9. Dario Franchitti is Alive, No Fans Seriously Harmed in
Scary Indy Car Crash
Oddly enough, the reason Dario Franchitti moved to
NASCAR many years ago was for the safety of the cars, but he returned to Indycar after experiencing very little Cup success. He escaped this wreck
with a concussion, a fractured spine, and a broken ankle.
8. Georgia Saves Season, Knocks Off Tennessee in Overtime
Aaron Murray delivered a fantastic performance, cobbling
together a season-saving touchdown drive to send
Saturday’s game into overtime. 7. Athletics Win Pitchers Duel Against Justin Verlander
We often mock no-hitters in this space, but a thrilling pitching duel is one of our more enjoyable baseball scenarios. The way Saturday night played out would certainly eat up a few minutes in a “Moneyball” sequel. After another win Monday, Oakland is one game away from earning the right to get slaughtered by the Red Sox in the ALCS.
6. Saints Move to 5-0
The most under reported story of the 2013 season so
far is how Rob Ryan has miraculously turned the Saints into a competent defensive team. 5. Kevin Harvick Wins Another Crash Fest at Kansas
Even more important than Harvick earning another victory in his final races with Richard Childress was Kyle Busch likely dropping out of championship contention. It’s going to take Talladega shakeup to get the 2013 title to anyone other than Matt Kenseth or Jimmie Johnson.
4. Pirates Take 2-1 NLDS Lead
No Credentials nominates Pittsburgh as the current
wearer of the “America’s Team” title. Unless you’re a die-hard Cardinals fan,
there’s no way you can cheer against the Pirates.
3. Red Sox Demolish Rays, Take 2-0 ALDS Lead
I’ll
concede that two games isn’t much of a sample size in baseball, but there
hasn’t been a more impressive team in the postseason than the Boston Red Sox.
2. Andrew Luck Leads Wild Colts Win Over Seattle
In a game statistically dominated by the Seahawks,
Andrew Luck went out and found another way to win. It’s time to
recalibrate our AFC South rankings and put the Colts at the top of the list.
1. Denver Outguns Dallas 51-48
Fortunately
for me, I was at work during this one, because if I watched it live my head
would’ve exploded. We’ll find out next week if this was an encouraging or discouraging loss for the Cowboys,
who are still tied for first in the pathetic NFC East.
