1. Team USA Men’s team wins the gold at the 2012 Olympics Led by Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Lebron James, team USA was able to win the gold at the London Olympics. They took on countries like Argentina, Nigeria, Great Britain, and Spain in the gold medal game. Now there was a lot of heat during these Olympics because of all talk that this team could beat the “Dream team” according to James and Bryant, but either way, it was good to see the USA bring the gold home.
2. Juan Marquez knocks out Manny Pacquiao in the 6th Whether you saw the fight or not, the historical 6th round knock-out by Marquez to Pacquiaco left a lot of people cracking jokes and talking about the future of both athletes. This had to have been one of the greatest upsets in boxing history.
3. Michael Phelps becomes the most decorated Olympic athlete…EVER The fastest man in the water and now the all-time Olympic medals leader with 22, 18 of those being gold. What does he do now?
4. New York, New York, what a hell of a town! The New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots at Super Bowl XVLI. This left everyone wondering, can Tom Brady ever beat Eli Manning? Probably not…..
5. Replacement referees don’t make the cut Remember back in September when “The catch that may or may not have happened” happened? So does everyone else who disliked the replacement referees, and so do the Green Bay Packers. Hopefully it didn’t ruin their playoff chances.
6. Jeremy Lin and James Harden We all know how quickly Jeremy Lin jumped to fame, and we also know how good of a ball player James Harden is. Put them both together and what do you got? Beardsanity? Fear the Lin? Who knows, but it was a shock when they both decided to make the break to the city of Houston.
7. Faster than a lightning Bolt Usain Bolt may be the fastest man alive, PERIOD. If you watched the London Olympics or even the Beijing Olympics, you know how fast he is, and in London, he did it again.
8. Lebron James claims his throne Lebron James led his Miami Heat to the NBA championship, claiming his first title in nine years. He also was NBA Finals MVP, it’s about damn time. Congrats to the King.
9. Team USA Women’s soccer team wins 4th straight gold medal The Women’s USA team won its 4th gold medal at the games in London led by Abby Wahbach and Hope Solo, this team is probably better than the Men’s USA team.
10. Lance Armstrong loses it all We never saw it coming, but he sure didn’t put up a fight. He lost his endorsements, his championships and his company, one of the most shocking events this year.
