You spend hours sitting in front of your computer constantly refreshing your Facebook News Feed. Sometimes what your Facebook friends are doing is interesting; sometimes their postings are inane. Well, imagine your Facebook friends consisted of local and regional athletes, teams, and stadiums (suspend belief on that one for a bit), rather than actual people you know, or kinda know, or met that one night that you can’t really remember.

A Facebook News Feed with such friends might look like this: The annual Athletic Aesthetic Facebook News Feed Year In Review. To recap the happenings in the local and regional sports world in 2010, I have created a rundown of what such events would have looked like had they been marked by the players’ and teams’ hypothetical Facebook accounts. Come back with me to the beginning of the year…
