The sports world has seen one of its worst weeks of all-time. To wit:

We could even go on, but ... yikes. That's enough.

So it's time for a lift and Katie Nolan has a great idea: tweet your good news at her on Twitter with the hash tag #HappyStory and those frowns will turn upside down. Keep tweeting @katienolan or tell us your story in the comments below and we just might add your happy stories to the list.
