Top 25 Pictures From the Weekend That Was in Sports
We're now just two weeks away from Thanksgiving, which means Fall sports are in full swing. Baseball has come and gone now, but college and pro basketball have arrived to fill the void.
We were all no doubt treated to a look at the future of basketball this past week. The college freshmen on display in Chicago as Michigan State, Kentucky, Duke and Kansas squared off, were absolutely remarkable. The 'one-year' rule isn't good for college basketball long term, but without it, most of the star freshmen would already be getting paid to play.
As the weekend approached, football fans had one game on their minds - Kansas City at Denver. In the end, the game was somewhat of a letdown. However, it really went how most people projected it would. The KC offense wasn't able to outscore the Denver offense and on top of that, the KC defensive line didn't sack Peyton Manning one time. All of that added up to a comfortable win for the Broncos.
It's way too early to crown the Broncos, though, as they play the Patriots and Chiefs over the next two weeks. If Denver can come out of those two contests with still only one loss on the year, then it's time to call them the class of the AFC. But you have to consider the possibility that they could drop two road games as well.
So as with any weekend of sports, there are great plays and images that defined the action. In this installment of pictures of the weekend, we'll view college and pro football, NBA, UFC and college basketball. Enjoy:
Jabari Parker Gets Caught Off Guard With a Smack To the Forehead
There's no defense for a palm to the forehead while you're in the middle of game.
Kaepernick Crunch
Kaepernick looks less than thrilled to have his helmet jammed up against another man's backside.
Manu, It's Going To Be Okay
Mid-foul shots are some of the best around. In this one, Ginobli looks flat out terrified.
Quiet, You're Scaring Richard Jefferson
Richard Jefferson is at it again, this time though, he's the one getting scared.
Matthew Stafford Gets Stuck Doing a Headstand
Stafford couldn't quite pull off the handstand here. That's a tenth of a point deduction.
Brandon Jacobs With the Truck Stick
The truck stick is way underrated. Just ask Brandon Jacobs.
Taking a Break With the Fans
This is an odd photo, but you have to love how calm some of the fans are.
David Cutcliffe Gets a Bath After Taking Down the U
Duke football doesn't get a lot of love, so this was no doubt a well deserved bath.
It's Tough Being a Jaguars Fan
You have to give this guy credit, the Jags are terrible and he's watching every minute.
Ricardo Louis With the Game Winner
The photo finish to one of the crazier hail mary catches we've ever seen.
Ed Herman Making Thales Leites Brace For Impact
Thales Leites looks scared in this photo, but he won the fight in the end.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Frozen In Time
Rodgers-Cromartie wasn't able to come up with the pick, but his hang time made for a good photo.
On KG's Back = Not the Place To Be
Surprisingly, KG doesn't look like he's going to punch-a-size someone's face.
Jimmy Johnson Celebrating His 6th Sprint Cup Title
Johnson's accomplishment isn't getting as much coverage as some of the weekend's other hot topics, but there's no doubt he deserves a ton of credit and respect.
KD and Steph Curry in Awe
Are they looking at the ball or some sort of golden ticket? I can't tell.
GSP, Meet Johny's Knee
This fight ended in controversial fashion, to say the least. I'm guessing that Dana White would like to knee the Nevada athletic commission in the face too.
Malcolm Lewis Gets Akwardly Yanked to the Ground
Lewis' ACL was probably not a fan of this tackle.
Marcus Georges Looking Stunned Mid-Charge
You have to love a good mid-charge snap shot. This one had to suck for both guys.
Philip Rivers Wasn't Pleased Following This
Odds are, Rivers yelled at someone following this play.
Pascal Dupuis Reaches For the Puck While Others Stand in Amazement
Hand-eye coordination at its finest.
Serge Not Happy
'Hey! That's my ball.'
T.J. Graham and the Bills Slam Dunk the Jets
The Bills laid the smackdown on the Jets. Plain and simple.
Tyre Bracken Gets Triple Tackled
Whatever it takes to get the ball-carrier down.
FSU Basketball Sporting Some Blue Alternates
This is just an awkward 'who's gonna get the ball' photo.
Tyler Boyd With a Heck of a Catch
You have to respect the full extension catches.
