It's Monday, and I can't remember the last weekend that had as much going on as this past one. As always, I'll be using bullet points to highlight everything that happened.

• Yes, Kentucky is #1 (again) (finally). It has been just under seven years since the last time the Wildcats were #1 in the polls. UK had to win on Saturday against Arkansas to ensure they'd be atop the polls and they absolutely embarrassed the Hogs. They started the game 10-0, cruised to a big halftime lead, then started the second half 17-0 for good measure. I celebrated by doing the John Wall Dance at many of Lexington's fine establishments.
• Peyton Manning is the best. I'm a "Brady Guy," but how can you not say that Peyton is the best QB right now (and probably of all-time)? He absolutely owned the Jets defense yesterday, a defense that everyone in the country seemed to think was the best defense ever. Rex Ryan is now just a fat guy who can't win the big one. Also, Heisman Trophies: Charles Woodson 1; Peyton Manning 0.
• Brett Favre is really good. Say what you will about Favre, but the Vikings are never playing in the NFC Championship this year without him. You're lying to yourself if you think that Sage Rosenfels or Tarvaris Jackson was taking them there. The Vikings are probably a better team than the Saints, but it's tough to win in New Orleans (unless you're Tampa Bay in Week 16 and Cohron picked the Saints in his Suicide Pool). Manning may throw for 600 yards against the Saints "defense" in the Super Bowl.
• Bruce Pearl still can't dress well, but wasn't the worst dressed person at the game. Bruce, we've talked about this. You cannot get away with wearing ribbed t-shirts under sports jackets. You look like a fool. Your team also no-showed while you were wearing your clown outfit. Be better and put on a shirt with buttons and a tie, then your team might play hard. In Bruce's defense, at least he didn't wear peanut butter to the game. The only time I'm smearing peanut butter all over myself is if Blake Lively is involved.
• Penderhausen is a worse gambler than I am. The guy gave four bets for the weekend and only hit one. There is no truth to the rumor he was trying to do an impression of yours truly. His record this past weekend should be a telling sign for UT having a winning football season.
• I finally saw The Hangover. Yes, I was trying to be the last American male under the age of thirty to see the movie. It was very funny in parts, but dragged in others. It's an all-time top ten comedy, but not cracking the top five.
• Texas' basketball team lost to UConn. Texas fans commented, "I thought our season ended against Alabama when McCoy got hurt." For you dense people, that means that people in Texas don't care about basketball.
• Dick Vitale made a ridiculous statement. Crazy, right? This time he said that Brian Zoubek would be drafted in the second round of the NBA Draft in June and would make an NBA team. This is the same Brian Zoubek that is averaging 5.4 points/game for Duke.
• Conan's last show was funny. I know I've been a little hard on the guy over the past couple weeks, but the last show was entertaining. If he'd been that funny for seven months, he'd probably still be employed. Will Ferrell as the lead singer from Lynyrd Skynyrd singing "Freebird" was funny (for a while). Beck dressed up as The Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, and that was really funny. For me, Neil Young's performance and Ben Harper shredding the "Freebird" solo were the highlights of the show for me.
