Double K’s Take:
Top Stories in Sports in 2017...
1. Kneeling and Kaepernick….
This is a subject that is a little sensitive for me, the reason being that Kap was kneeling and basically sacrificed his career for me and people who look like me. To draw attention to what was happening to us in the middle of the street to start a discussion America was scared to have. The thing that has made me smile is that since Colin made those sacrifices the there have been a plethora of players that have joined in his protest. Now somehow in the beginning of it all this year the message got lost but i think that there are alot more people who understand now why they kneel whether they like it or not...
2. College BBall has huge scandal as government probe uncovers corruption in recruiting process...
3. Astros beat Dodgers in 7 games to win first ever World Series after Houston is devastated by Hurricane Harvey…
4. Brady gets the last laugh on the NFL and in the Super Bowl...
This one always cracks me up, for over a seasons the NFL tried to get Tom Brady on the DeflateGate situation. I personally said who cares its not cheating to me and is it really that big of a deal? In the end yes the NFL thought it was a big deal as they ended up getting their way and Tom served his 4 game suspension. Everyone including me thought that it would hinder his ability to have a Brady like season, but alas we were all wrong so very wrong. Tom put up terrific numbers and lead the Patriots all the way to the Super Bowl. Thats where he got the last laugh as the Falcons took a commanding 28-3 lead in the 1st half of the game. Then Tom Terrific did what he does so well and that is take his team back to the promiseland in thrilling fashion. Leading them all the way back and into overtime then on a 60+ yard drive to score the game winning touchdown. It was the Patriots and Tom’s 5th Super Bowl and one of the best comebacks in Super Bowl history. Tom truly ended up getting the final laugh in this whole fiasco…
5. US Gymnastics suffers a huge blow as the President resigns among accusations of sexual abuse by some of its top stars…
6. The Russian Olympic team is banned from this year's Winter Olympics amongst doping allegations from Sochi…
7. Clemson gets revenge as they beat the Crimson Tide in the final minutes of the National title game...
The Tigers were huge underdogs coming into this game and they knew that, that fact means nothing. The Clemson Tigers put together a game for the ages as they went on to put together a successful final drive and knock off the then #1 seeded Alabama Crimson Tide and win the schools 1st National Title (i believe?). This led to a lot of trash talking by non Alabama fans as they felt heartbroken and robbed to an extent. I thought it was one of the best Nat. Title games i had ever seen and i was glad i got a chance to tune in and watch it. I also can't wait for the rematch this monday on New Year's Day for a trip to the big game...
