"This one is for the forces of pure evil."
First off, the Honorable Mentions… My apologies in advance to soccer, hockey and women, but I’m the average American male, so my list should be pretty obvious. Anywho, half-assed apologies aside, here are your certificates of participation, in no specific order:
The Giants Win! The Giants Win! – The San Francisco Giants won the World Series for the first time since they were the New York Giants. Your move, Chicago Cubs. Seriously, leave Chicago.
Sexy Rexy – Not the New York Jets, just Rex Ryan – the coach, the man, the alleged foot fetishist. He stole the show on Hard Knocks with his G*d-damned snacks, and if Mark Sanchez can channel his early season self, this team could win it all, which would be incredibly entertaining.
Manny Pacquiao Is A Stud – 8 titles in 8 weight classes is a serious career feat. Too bad he and Floyd Mayweather will never shut up and fight.
Urban Meyer Retires Again – Maybe it was health, or maybe it was the realization of no Tebow, no hope. I hear the Denver Broncos are hiring.
Kobe’s Newest Dynasty – The Lakers win again and they top next year’s list without question and with an apology. Too bad he and Phil Jackson can’t get along. Suddenly Ron Artest is a voice of reason.
The Phuture Of The Phillies – Cliff Lee spurned the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers to pitch again for the Philadelphia Phillies. He joins Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels to make a decent rotation. Just for giggles they should sign a golden retriever for the 5 spot.
Jimmie Johnson Wins Again – Someone won for driving in circles, other people complained.
Who The Hell Is Ines Sainz? – The TV Azteca reporter’s claims that she was sexually harassed at a New York Jets practice were stupid. Mainly because she has a butter face.
Chris Berman Gets A Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star – Someone had to pay $25,000 for it, but hey, who’s counting?
Duke’s Return To Glory – The Blue Devils won a rather uninspiring National Championship, stealing the spotlight from Cinderella Butler. But it still counts.

I was going to say the World Cup video should’ve been at the top, but your argument about the hand grenade and strip club convinced me New Orleans deserves the honor.
New Orleans had an unfair advantage, as I had been there recently and indeed experienced hand grenades and boobies.
I thought it was Cheese Doodles that Stephen A. cherished like none other?
WTF is a Perkins?
//Why oh why oh did I leave Ohio
I know we’re all supposed to forgive the guy now since he’s winning games, but i still think that Mike Vick is disgusting.
What he did was inhuman and unforgivable. His being allowed into the league makes me like the NFL a lot less. That so many are so willing to overlook his repulsive behavior because he’s winning games makes me like NFL fans a lot less.
I know there are those that will say “the guy did his time” or mumble about forgiveness, but for gawds sake, this guy killed mans best friend for the fun of it.
No, he ran a dog fighting ring for profit. There’s a difference.
What? No Hawkeyes getting hit by trucks? I call bullshit.
Johnny needs to acquire Roberto Alomar AIDS.
@YMFC – Forest for the Trees.
@Johnny – You don’t have to forgive OR forget.
No Blackhawks Cup win after 50 years or Lingerie football? Now that’s just a disragious outgrace it is!
@Johnny-you should give some dogs your Roberto Alomar AIDS.
Michael Vick didn’t just run a dog fighting ring. He OWNED dogs that he personally killed by hanging, drowning and electrocution. He took his own household pets and used them a dog bait. His people took teeth out of dogs so they won’t bite while being strapped to a breeding device, and as to not be able to bit back during dog baiting.
While everyone is patting him on the butt for being soooo good, his dogs (those that survived the abuse) are still so traumatized from living in his kennel and will never be able to go to a home.
Yes, he has paid a debt, and perhaps even be allowed to play, but he should not be exulted, nor be given any award or special pats on the back. He is not a hero.
it’s funny how vick playing causes people to rage englessly (even though he did 2 years in prison and is still suffering the consequences) but no one says a word about ben roethlisberger still playing, even though he got off mostly scott free.
i find it hard to believe that people would think a dog killer is worse than a serial raipist, so i’m just going to go ahead and call you all racist now.
yeah. deal with it.
The only thing I remember beyond 2 weeks is shaking Bill Wennington’s hand at Game 2 of the White Sox / Astros World Series in ’05. Kudos for remembering all these great sports stories.
Stephen A. Smith is a poo head.
a dog killer is worse than a serial raipist, yes, and if i’m a racist for that, so be it
vick, GB will send you to hell
gaby, you are an idiot and I weep for those you know you.
rex grossman, you are indeed a sexy, sexy man!
gaby, I assume you are yourself a serial rapist or are one of Big Ben’s bodyguards.
Well, one could argue that Big Ben wasn’t even arrested, let alone tried and convicted of any wrong doing.
But, ya, a lot of the hatred at vick does seem irrational.
