As a part of the annual Festivus tradition we have the Feats of Strength. Now, typically the head of a household is supposed to challenge someone to a wrestling match, but I'm going to let you do that on your own time and with your own friends and family. I mean, what are the holidays without someone being dropped into the figure-four smack in the middle of all the presents?

Instead we're just going to take a look back at the top-five Feats of Strength from the past year.

#5. Anyone still wearing a Brett Favre Vikings jersey
Maybe it is pure ignorance or blind love, but purple and gold love for the gunslinger you are a stronger fan than most. Favre started your 2010 by ending your best shot at the Super Bowl in years, via a typical Favre interception. Then he drug you through a summer of wondering, allowing your team to justify not looking for other options under center and ending with a couple of your other favorite players taking a journey down south to save him from the grip of the Mississippi wilderness. Of course this goes without mentioning the disaster which has been the 2010 season. If 19 interceptions, a 5-9 record, and a Joe Webb debut later you are still wearing the Vikings #4, you are a stronger man than I.

#4. UConn's win streak
Throw every controversial thought out of your mind for a split second and just ask yourself this: Is there really anything you could do 89 times in a row without screwing up at least once? I got nothing. Waking up on time? Nope, I'd over sleep. Making cereal? Ha! At least one disaster every 50 times. Hmm, what about just sitting still? Maybe, but once my foot falls asleep, I'm done. Really there aren't many things you could do perfect 89 times in a row, but these ladies did it. They showed up ready to play every day or night and have yet to screw it up.

#3. Cam Newton
Whether you think he is guilty or not, one thing is certain; the pressure didn't touch him this season. Most of us start sweating any time we think we're even remotely close to getting in trouble, even if we know we are innocent. The blue lights come on behind us and we immediately head to the side of the road, not because we know we should, but because we are too paralyzed by fear to do otherwise. But then again, most of us aren't a 6-foot-6-inch quarterback (who I still maintain is a robot), capable of throwing for 28 touchdowns and rushing for 20 more, all while leading his school to an undefeated season and a national title birth. Amazing.

#2. Michael Vick
I've never been to jail and never plan on going. I can only imagine the weight the label of ex-con carries with it. The only thing I can compare it to, and it isn't even close, is the feeling you had in elementary school when you returned to class from the principal's office. Everyone staring at you, knowing you just got busted, and a few holier-than-thous saying mean things about you in their minds.

Multiple that by a bizillion and that is probably similar to what Vick felt. And yet he has performed to the tune of 20 touchdowns and only five picks, while putting the Eagles in the position as the clear favorite in the NFC East. Not to mention he was also the leader in Pro-Bowl voting until a surge of Tom Brady ballots over took him this week. Comebacks on the field are tough, but comebacks in life are even tougher. Vick has done both at the same time this year.

#1. Armando Galarraga and Jim Joyce teach us all a lesson
Few times in sports can you point to one single call in a game and say, "Yep, that is what cost them." This was one of those few times.

Jim Joyce's botched call in the ninth inning clearly cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game and what did he do? He smiled and gave Joyce a hug.

Just think about that for a second. Think about the last time someone did something you felt like cost you. The last time you got the wrong change back at the grocery store or the last time someone cut you off on the freeway. Did you just smile? Did you offer a hug? I didn't.

And what about Joyce? Did he get defensive, shut down, and refuse to speak about it? Nope. Instead he just admitted he was wrong and apologized profusely.

As far as feats of strength go, being strong enough to ask for forgiveness, as well as strong enough to forgive, especially when you really don't have to, are at the top of the list.
