New decade, new champs, new format.....

So with only a month left in Twenty-ten, let's take a look back at another chapter of sports history. Five Big Points:

- Southeastern teams took crowns as the Saints won their first ever Super Bowl and Bama came out on top for the 12th (right?) time in their storied history.
- Lakers repeat as champs with a win over their arch rival in Boston, while UConn women's team dominates.... again.
- Spain takes home the World Cup and gets braggin' rights for four years.
- Jimmie Johnson, Jimmie Johnson, Jimmie Johnson, Jimmie Johnson, Jimmie Johnson.
- And we said goodbye to legends John Wooden and "The Boss"...

Here's a list of the major National and World Champions of 2010, incase you've been living under a rock...
