10. Rajon Rondo Breaks His Hand, Out 6-8 Weeks
While this move won’t do anything to improve Rondo’s trade value, it will help
ensure the Celtics will have an abundance of ping-pong balls in next year’s
draft lottery.
9. Jeff Gordon Emphatically Punches Ticket to Round of 12
at Dover
Gordon’s march to 100 wins took another step forward
as he dominated down the stretch to win his fourth race of the year.
Brad Keselowski was equally impressive though. He’s posted 1-1-2 for finishes
in the first three races of The Chase.
8. Jordan Zimmerman Ends Regular Season With a No-Hitter
No Credentials is notoriously snarky about MLB no-hitters in the post-steroid era, but Steven Sousa Jr.’s ridiculous catch to end the game made the event worth of this list.
Sadly for Chicago, Rodgers wasn’t joking when he told Packer fans to relax.
6. Tampa Bay
Confirms NFL No Longer Makes Sense, Rallies to Defeat Pittsburgh
I’m officially deciding to only gamble on NBA games
going forward after watching highlights from this game. We’ll
touch more on that subject this week (the unpredictability of NFL games, not
gambling on the NBA).
5. Kansas City Royals Return to the Postseason
After Detroit clinched the AL Central Sunday, their
stay could only last for one day, but hey it still counts.
4. Steve Smith “Sr.” Goes Bonkers
It was obvious that Smith would have extra motivation facing
off against his former team, but you’ll be hard pressed to find people outside
of his immediate family that he could return to fantasy football relevance on a
weekly basis.
3. Cowboys Play Like It’s 1993, Smash Saints
Dallas demonstrated the value of an elite offensive line
with their dismantling of a Saints team that beat them 49-17 last season.
2. 49ers Get Back to Basics
Teams often go astray when they try to be something
that they aren’t (which is what happened to the 49ers each of the last two
weeks), but they stuck to Frank Gore and the ground game and
grinded out a win over the Eagles.
1. Boston Bids Farewell to Derek Jeter
Nothing was going to top Jeter’s last game at Yankee Stadium, but
kudos to Red Sox fans (who probably were outnumbered by Yankee fans who bought
tickets on Stub Hub, but we won’t talk about that) for paying respects to a man
who tormented them for many years.
