5. Springer Dinger
He was born with Alien DNA and is the cure for the Alien virus our invaders plan to use to make us a slave colony. George Springer avoided their clutches and with every home run he injects the vaccine into all of us. This is the only way to describe the impossible early season success George Springer is having.
4. Mighty Mouse
If 10 consecutive title defenses does not get you in the conversation about who “the greatest of all time” is, then I do not know what will. The put them in from of Demetrious Johnson and he just makes opponents look minor league. He out-struck Wilson Reis 4 billion to 16 on Saturday night and retained his Flyweight title. Mighty Mouse needs to be walking around UFC headquarters screaming for Dana White to bring him competition. He may be the smallest male champ, but Mighty Mouse is a monster among men.
3. Suicide Squeeze
While everyone may be hooked on the show about suicide, “13 Reasons Why” on Netflix, I am obsessed with Tony Robichaux’ poignant thoughts on the subject. The Cajuns suicide squeeze against Arkansas State was a beauty and while you are all binging the hot new teen drama, I am watching Izzy Edwards cross home plate over and over and over again.
2. Playoff Hockey Spirit
The Pens are taking the Blue Jackets to the woodshed and I am loving it, but I do have to give it up to CBJ’s Zach Werenski for displaying the courage it takes to compete in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Werenski took a Phil Kessel shot right to the face as he sacrificed himself to keep Phil the Thrill from scoring on his garbage goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. The Pens scored a second later anyway, but kudos to Werenski for doing everything it takes. In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, only the brave will survive. You also need talent though that helps a lot and when you face Sid the Kid, all the bravery in the world is not going to be enough.
1. Robert Whitaker
He took Jacare’s soul and wants a title shot. The Reaper is the next big thing in the Middleweight Division.
