In sports, that is. First we had the excitement of Team USA as an unlikely victor in a tough match. Yes, they lost in the next round, but for at least a day there, it felt awesome.
Then there was the Wimbledon match to end all matches.
Played over three days for an incredible 11 hours and 5 minutes, American John Isner and Nicolas Mahut of France served up a surely never to be seen again 183 games, with the win coming in the final set with a score of 70-68.
Sadly, Isner lost in the very next round in a very quick match. But, he will long be remembered for his amazing marathon win on the grass at the All England Club. Add in some interleague baseball, and you get a week that we'll be talking about for quite some time.
