10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (1/18-1/20)

10. Hall of Famers Stan Musial, Earl Weaver Are Remembered
            A rough weekend for baseball, as we lost the most underrated superstar in MLB history, and a manager who won 1,480 games.

9. Manti Te’o Denies Involvement in Girlfriend Hoax

            The Te’o story is so bizarre No Credentials hasn’t known what to do with it. We’ll finally have a Te’o post by the end of the week.

8. Michael Vick Doesn’t Want to Play For New York Jets

            Evidently, Vick doesn’t want to risk having a picture of him tattooed on Rex Ryan’s ass.

7. Syracuse “Upsets” #1 Louisville

            This is the “Big Time College Basketball Upset That No Credentials Doesn’t Give A Shit About Of The Week”, sponsored by Dollar Tree.

6. Butler Capitalizes on Horrendous In-Bounds Pass, Stuns Gonzaga

            No Credentials managed to catch the last 45 seconds of this game live, which briefly reminded me why I used to like college basketball. Then I remembered some of the participants were born in 1995, and quickly began hating it again.

5. Durant Drops 52 on the Mavericks

            Kevin Durant has scored 150 points in the last seven days, which for those not in the know, is a lot of fucking points.
          
4. The NHL Returns
            Part of me is wondering if the league’s incompetence paid off, as the NHL put up its highest regular season television ratings in over a decade Saturday.

3. Bernard “Patriot Killer” Pollard Strikes Again
            In case you were wondering what would happen if you walked by Bernard Pollard wearing a New England Patriots jersey, here’s four videos to show it wouldn’t end well.

 

 

 

            Pollard consistently destroying Patriots year after year is one of the most underrated, bizzarre occurences of the past decade.

2. Ravens Outscore Patriots 21-0 In Second Half, Win AFC Championship

            A strange game where New England didn’t capitalize on their scoring chances in the first half, and Baltimore was flawless in the second. Improbably, the Ravens have knocked off Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in back to back weeks to ensure that Ray Lewis will end his career playing in a Super Bowl.

1. Down 17-0, 49ers Rally to Stun Falcons
            I’m 96% certain that Alex Smith wouldn’t of led San Francisco back from a 17-0 deficit to win the NFC Championship. Harbaugh’s midseason quarterback change could go down with Belichick sticking with Brady over Bledsoe as one of the greatest substitutions in NFL history.
