10 Awesome Things That Happened This Past Weekend (10/21-10/23)

10. Houston Blows Out Titans 41-7
            So did I curse Tennessee more when I wagered money on them, or when I picked up their quarterback to sub for Michael Vick this week on one of my fantasy teams?

9. Manchester City Rocks Manchester United
            I’ll never pretend to be a futbol guy, but winning 6-1 in Man U’s house is list worthy.

8. Raiders Toss Six Picks, Get Crushed By Hapless Chiefs
            For those of you surprised by the stink bomb let loose by Carson Palmer in the second half of Sunday’s game, I’ll refer you to some analysis written by No Credentials a day after the Palmer trade went down.

7. Clint Bowyer Wins, Jimmie Johnson’s Title Hopes Are Toast (Hopefully)
            50 points behind points leader Carl Edwards, and stuck behind six other drivers, it looks like we will finally be crowning a new champion in NASCAR.

6. Pujols Mashes Three Homers in Game 3
            Texas evened the series Sunday night, but that doesn’t diminish Albert’s accomplishment Saturday night. Pujols becomes only the third player in MLB history to hit three home runs in a World Series game, joining hall of famers Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson. Theo Epstein might have to tack on an extra $20 million if he wants to get Pujols into a Cub uniform.

5. Green Bay 33, Minnesota 27
4. Dallas 34, St. Louis 7
3. New Orleans 62, Indianapolis 7
            Why are three items together this week? Because the Cowboys, Packers, and Saints delivered No Credentials first successful three-team teaser on Sportsbook. I felt like Lance Armstrong during the final stage of the Tour ‘de France (minus the glass of wine and HGH pulsating through my veins) as New Orleans scored touchdown after touchdown against the hapless Colts. I’m looking forward to blowing all of my winnings next week on either another three-team teaser or betting on Brad Keselowski to win the Sprint Cup.

2. God’s Quarterback Pulls Off Epic Rally
            Similar to the junior mint episode of “Seinfeld”, something otherworldly appeared to happen in Miami today as Tim Tebow led two scoring drives in the final three minutes to force overtime. Or more likely, Miami remembered that they have to lose every game in order to get Andrew Luck on their team.

1. Hail Mary Dooms Wisconsin, Gives Michigan State Victory
            What does it take for college football to grab the top spot on the weekly top 10? A Hail Mary pass that knocks off a BCS title contender.
