Weekend winners
Sports fans: There are too many weekend winners to name right now, right?
Carson Beck. That was a dude performance, and one that frankly many of us expected to be him normal rather than situational. If Saturday’s Carson Beck — who responded from a slow start (and a critical drop on his first deep shot of the game) — had been in Tuscaloosa for the first half and in Oxford after the first drive, Georgia is unbeaten. And I think everyone from Dan Manning to Ryan Day to Steve Sarkisian prays Georgia somehow gets left out of the field.
Jon Bones Jones. Normally I discuss as much MMA as your local Church of Christ deacon, but when the GOAT comes out of retirement and lands a TKO in round 3 and then — at 37 says he has plans of fighting again, well, that’s winning the weekend.
