1. Jeter gone

On September 28 a legend like no other struck his last pitch at Fenway Stadium. The New York Yankees short stop Derek Jeter ended his career against the Boston Red Sox. After a very emotional farewell at Yankee Stadium where Jeter got struck out in the ninth inning, he knew he had to end his last professional game on a high note. In the third inning against the Red Sox Jeter hit an RBI infield single. As he walked towards the dug out he lifted his helmet and tipped it. Just like that the legend was gone. The MLB will always recognize him as one of the greatest players to play the game of baseball.

2. College football upset

With week six complete many teams look to forget the horrible upsets that occurred. Number two Oregon losing to Arizona 31-24, number three Alabama losing to number 11 Ole Miss 23-17, number six Texas A&M losing to number 12 Mississippi State 48-31 and number four Oklahoma losing to number 25 TCU 37-33. With all these upsets will there be new contenders who can much up with reigning BCS champions Florida State? With week seven approaching the three out of the five top teams are from the SEC division.

3. Phelps DUI

The most decorated Olympic swimmer of all time, Micheal Phelps, was arrested last Tuesday for DUI. Reports say that his blood alcohol content was double the legal limit and he was excessively speeding. Phelps made comments over social media that he will be putting swimming on the back burner so he can focus on other priorities such as his physical and mental health. The 22 time Olympic medalist will be attending programs that will help get his life back on track.

4. Lakers over confident

With a roster that seems pretty intimidating the Los Angeles Lakers seem very confident in the up coming season. With Kobe Bryant, Jeremy Lin, Julius Randle, Steve Nash, and Carlos Boozer it seems that the Lakers roster will be a force that may not live up to its potential. Kobe has struggled with injuries and so has Nash in the past few years. Nash and Kobe are no longer in their prime and can no longer perform like they could when they were NBA finalists/champions. Jeremy Lin and Carlos Boozer are great players, but they are not championship contenders. If the Lakers want to rebuild their team they are going to have to face a few really rough years and that might mean the retirement of Kobe Bryant.

5. Manning’s Milestone

Payton Manning has written a “Cinderella Story” since his comeback from neck surgery. The quarterback for the Denver Broncos threw his 500-touchdown pass against the Arizona Cardinals. This is a huge milestone making Manning the second quarterback in the league to throw over 500 career touchdowns. Manning is knocking on Brett Farve’s doorstep for the all time record. Farve holds the record with 508-career touchdown passes. The most astonishing achievement in my eyes is that Manning has thrown just over 100 touchdowns since he started in Denver while he threw 399 career touchdowns with his previous team the Indianapolis Colts.
