Weekend Wrap-Up

This was one of the most exhilirating weekends in the sports world this year. To start out the weekend, Albert Pujols signed a 10-year contract with the Angels. The Lakers were part of a three-way trade that included their getting Chris Paul. The trade got vetoed, and the Lakers, Hornets, and Rockets are still appealing. Saturday was full of thrills. The #1 and #2 team in the nation for college basketball went down. Ohio State lost against Kansas in the Phog Allen Fieldhouse with Sullinger on the bench. Kentucky got stunned by Indiana with a last-second three point shot to win it. On Saturday night, Outside the Lines reported that NL MVP, Ryan Braun, was using PED. He has a 50 game suspension as of now, but he is appealing. Robert Griffin III was on top of the world on Saturday night. He won the Heisman Trophy in New York. He is the first Baylor player to win this award. Sunday was a big day with last-second thrillers. The Tebow Magic continued as he lead Denver back from a ten-point-deficit with four minutes left as they won in OT, 13-10. The Giants are now at the top of the NFC East after Pierre-Paul blocked a kick in the final seconds. Manning played great in the late 4th quarter. That basically wrapped the weekend up. It was quite an eventful weekend.
