This Week in Sports

Apparently there's not much this week that I liked, and there's quite a bit that I didn't like. Turns out I'm a pessimist.

Things I liked:

• Tiger Woods lost to Graeme McDowell on Sunday in a playoff round.

• Texas' Offensive Coordinator, Greg Davis, is. outta. here!!! This is the most excited about college football news I have been all season!
  

Things I didn't like:

• Ben Roethlisberger definitely broke his nose...and stayed in the game.
• After determining Cam Newton is safe because his Dad was the person acting immorally (yeah effing right he didn't know), he has gone on to become a finalist for this year's Heisman. Lame.
• The Heat beat Cleveland for "the King's" first return home. And seriously, how is this news?!? Who cares?!?
• The Penguins have won ten consecutive games with help from Sidney Crosby's dirty antics.
• The Islanders had a 14 game losing streak (boo!) and then they won (yay!) and then they lost 4 more games.
• The Yankees and Jeter settled on $17MM a year for 3 years with a fourth year option. Ugh - he's old and not that good anymore, wth?!
• This hit was really, really bad, but I can't believe for a second that he did it on purpose. The NFL has fined him $40K. I'm anti hits like this, but still anti fining for hits since they're part of the game and whether they're intentional or too rough is sort of a subjective call.

Things that surprised me:

• After saying Josh McDaniels would remain for the rest of the season, the Broncos have fired him.
• New England beat the shit out of the Jets last night. Total spanking.
• FIFA announced its picks for hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup - Russia and Qatar, respectively. Qatar?! Wtf?! You can't even drink in public there - all people want to do at the World Cup is get wasted and rowdy in the streets. Who wants to go there, you might get locked up and disappear! Also, will Qatar still be a country in 2022??

Not sure where to put this, but Oregon and Auburn are playing in the National Title name - did TCU get screwed?
