An intimation as to how much of this year has been Super Fraud

Christmas Day, killing time, watching SportsCenter's Plays of the Year...

And it takes less than 10 minutes of the show for me to come up with this post:

• Alabama, the created Superteam of College Football, and the coming out party for Tua Tavagliola, was first.
• Then the Minneapolis "Miracle" -- never mind that one Saints defender deliberately took out another.
• And then the "Philly Special", with no one within a mile of the quarterback in a game, at minimum, that Bill Belichick threw.

Then things calmed down a bit for the February through early April part (nice double-buzzer-beater for the national title for Notre Dame)...

Some commercial thoughts:

• Can we stop with the "Man Up" testosterone PED shit over the television any century now?
• And, ESPN:  Two "Can't Miss", "Can't Look Away" semifinals?  With the two big favorites with a total of six who may well be suspended by Saturday?  (Three for Bama will be for team violations -- three players for Clemson awaiting B-sample drug retests...)

Back to it:

• The whole lead-in to Warriors-Cavs IV...
• #VegasStrong and Alex Ovechkin finally getting his?

And then not Top 10...

• Brady intentionally drops one in the Super Bowl.
• The Mexican baseball umpires drop one.  Full swing through for a strike, the home plate ump calls it no swing, so does the appeal at first!  (Both umpires were banned afterward.)
• Titus O'Neil drops himself in Saudi Arabia..
• And, of course, #1 Not Top Ten, JR Smith taking a dive in the NBA Finals to send LeBron to LA.

Back to the supposed good end of the stick...

• OK, I gotta play fair a second.  Some of the individual ESPN talent gave their Play of the Year -- one picked Sully, George HW Bush's service dog -- doing his job, even while his master lie in state.
• The realities of the explosion of legal sports gambling (with ESPN laughing up the spoils)...
• 4:15 to go, Bowling Green vs. Miami OH 41 points (Miami 31-10).  O/U 55, and Miami OH decides to score for 55 after a Bowling Green TD (38-17), tipped Hail Mary after a PI puts the game over, though neither of the final two scores mattered and they almost never happen in the first place in that manner.
• Tiger Woods.  TOUR Championship.  Let's go on.  (Blatant whoring by ESPN.)  And if you need to know why, watch the little sports-consumer rats scurry to the 72nd green.  UGH!
• The entire ...  what, now...  FOURTH screwjob of the Dodgers and the emergence of the MAGA League Baseball Elite (Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, Braves, maybe Cardinals and Astros)...
• And Chiefs-Rams -- The Game of the Year in the NFL...  Yeah.  Right...
• And the Miami "Miracle" to get us to the list...  Another "miracle" to get an arranged result.

And so let's see the Top 10 to find out how many of these are Super Fraud:

10.  GT Nicklaus hole-in-one at the Par 3.

9.    The Philly Special previously referenced.

8.    LeBron poster dunk somewhere in March.

7.    Sidney Crosby with an insane winner in October.

6.    Zlatan with his 500th with a flying backheel in LA.

5.    Miami "Miracle"

4.    321 foot strike for a double play in Oakland.

3.    Tua OT TD to win the title.

2.    Arike double-buzzer-beater.  (Don't ask me to spell her last name.)

1.    Minnesota "Miracle"
