10 Awesome Things That Happened This Past Weekend (1/6-1/8)

10. Buccaneers Schedule Interview With Brad Childress
            Just in case you guys forgot about how incompetent Brad Childress was as a head coach for the Vikings, here’s a link to the second post ever made by No Credentials.

9. Magic Beat Kings By Seven
            This is a result that I expect none of you to care about, but No Credentials needed some good news after all the money we lost on the Steelers. Thanks to Orlando for covering the spread by half a point.

8. Chiefs Remove Interim Tag From Head Coach Romeo Crennel
            I always thought Romeo got a bad rap in Cleveland, so I’m happy to see the former Pats defensive coordinator get a second chance in Kansas City.

7. Giants Destroy Pathetic Falcons
            A fifth grader challenged me to a game of Madden the other day. While I beat him easily (no mercy from me when it comes to Madden), his play calling was much more logical than what Atlanta was running. How do you run the same quarterback sneak on two fourth and ones and get stuffed twice? Remind me to never pick the Falcons in a playoff game again.

6. New England Patriots re-hire Josh McDaniels
            Two sets of kudos need to be given out here. One goes to the New England Patriots. Bill Belichick has been known as a guy that holds grudges, and usually doesn’t get along with former assistants who have left the nest (remember Eric Mangini?). Big ups to him for bringing a guy back who once did eight hundred celebratory fist pumps after beating the Patriots in 2009. The second set goes to McDaniels, who was willing to put his ego aside and return to his old job. Expect McDaniels to rebuild his stock within two years and earn another head coaching gig.

5. Jarome Iginla Scores Goal #500
            Jarome Iginla has been the captain or co-captain of my fantasy hockey teams four of the last five seasons, so I’m happy for Iggy to reach this milestone. Now we just need to give him the Ray Bourque treatment and ship him to a contender.

4. Yankees Posada Retires
            I always thought Posada was a douche bag, so if you want to read nice things about him, check out this post by ESPN’s Wallace Matthews.

3. Texans Clobber Bengals
            It would be really easy to get excited about Houston after the thumping they delivered to Cincinnati Saturday, but I do see them giving Joe Flacco some trouble next Saturday. 

2. Saints Explode in Second Half, Outlast Lions
            If your on the 49ers, you better be praying for 25 mph winds and rain this coming Saturday. It’s going to take some help from Mother Nature to slow down the Saints attack.

1. Tebow, Powered By God, Shocks Steelers in Overtime
            Denver’s offensive game plan was one of the best I’ve ever seen by a team that is a significant underdog. They knew Tebow wouldn’t complete a high percentage of passes, but they made sure the plays they did hit would go for big yardage. The 80-yard touchdown in overtime will probably go down as one of the best sports moments of 2012.
