College Football bid goodbye to the regular season, but not without Teddy Bridgewater leaving us with one last glimpse of his mouthwatering potential.
The rollercoaster quirkiness of the sports world this past week also includes an in-game marriage proposal, and a Cavs fan — displaying airtight idiocy — who walked onto the playing court and pleaded with their star point guard to not “LeBron James” them.
Weekly Sports Highlights and Gif Roundup
Teddy Bridgewater TD pass
Though he is unlikely to win the Heisman Trophy this year, Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater is continuing to stock his highlight reel for salivating NFL scouts to consume with one amazing throw after another
In the fourth quarter of the Cardinals’ game against Cincinnati, Bridgewater capped an impressive drive by lining up this 22-yard touchdown pass caught by Damian Copeland.
We’ve seen the Christmas gimmick created by their NBA counterparts earlier, but that didn’t stop Shane Doan, Mike Ribeiro and a couple more Phoenix Coyotes to fire away slap shots in a successful hockey-rendition of “Jingle Bells”.
Cavs Fan Wander Into the Playing Court
Remember last season when a Cavs fan wearing a white T-shirt printed with “We Miss You” and “2014 Come Back” stormed the hardcourt and urged LeBron James (of the visiting Miami Heat) to return to Cleveland? Well, it looked like he blazed a trail as another one of his kind walked onto the court in the second quarter of the Clippers-Cavs game, wearing a white T-shirt, and this time begging franchise point guard Kyrie Irving not to leave them.
Rob Gronkowski Gets Injured, Season in Peril
Big blow for the New England Patriots. Tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered what the team believes is a torn ACL in his right knee. Gronkowski picked up the injury after the Cleveland Browns’ T.J. Ward hit him low after catching a Tom Brady pass.

AP Injures Ankle (Knee?)
How does it feel to be a Minnesota Vikings fan this season, seeing your team languishing at the bottom of the NFC North? That’s a rhetorical question one shouldn’t ever actually ask a Vikings fan. Especially after Adrian Peterson hurt his ankle (worse, his knees) during the team’s Week 14 loss against Baltimore.

Kyle Korver Sets New NBA Three-Point Record
Atlanta Hawks’ triggerman Kyle Korver broke Dana Barros’ record of consecutive games with a triple by knocking down a trey in his 90th straight game. Barros set the record in 1996. Who do you think could be next to break this record? Stephen Curry could be the top favorite.
Avery Bradley Behind the Backboard Shot
The NBA Eastern Conference is nuts, particularly the Atlantic Division where all teams are below .500, but this Avery Bradley horse shot adds to the peculiarities of the division.
