No word yet on who is to blame for the malfunction, but I have a feeling FOX will claim it has something to do with liberals.
9. Cain Velasquez Destroys Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva
Using my betting strategy from the Kentucky Derby,
there is no way I would pick a dude nicknamed “Bigfoot”
to win a championship fight.
8. Nico Rosberg Wins Monaco GP
I caught the last 18 laps of this one (kudos to NBC
for broadcasting it live, a first for network television in the United States),
and came way thinking that it would be really cool to hang out in Monaco.7. Anibal Sanchez Comes Up 2 Outs Short of Second Career No-Hitter
The Twins trotted out four players with batting averages that were .212 or worse Friday night. Reason number 93,481 why we need to get MLB hitters back on the juice.
6. Bayern Munich Wins the Champions League Final
I have nothing in the form of substantial analysis
to offer on this event, but here are my
takeaways.
a. This is the second week in a row a soccer
championship has been won, and made the weekly top 10.
b. Bayern Munich will play for another championship
next week.
c. It was pretty cool that two German clubs were
playing for the title in an English stadium. Sehr gut!
4. Bruins Finish Off Rangers
Finally, Boston gets to exact revenge for what Ulf Samuelsson did to Cam Neely in the 1991 Conference Finals.
3. Pacers Hang on For Game 2 Win in Miami
Indiana’s triumph in Miami would’ve been #1 if Miami didn’t beat the living shit out of them Sunday night. It was fun for 48 hours when people thought there was actually a chance the Heat wouldn’t make the finals.
2. Kevin Harvick Steals Another Crown Jewel Event, Wins
Coca-Cola 600
I think I ranked Harvick in the low teens in my
pre-season NASCAR column. With his second win of the year (virtually
assuring him a spot in the playoffs), he’s quickly added that to the long list
of poor No Credentials predictions.
1. Tony Kanaan Finally Wins the Indianapolis 500
While
not as noteworthy as the failures of the Andretti family over the years at Indy
(they are 1 for 69 as a family, which is remarkable when you consider that
Mario and Michael were two of the greatest Indy Car drivers of all time), Tony
Kanaan has been snake-bit at the Brickyard for the last decade, routinely
having a fast car, but being unable to reach victory lane. A perfectly timed pass before a caution
assured him of finally breaking through.This post concludes another riveting season of weekend reviews. Check No Credentials all summer long for thoughts on the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Finals, MLB, and the NFL team previews. The weekend review will return to recap Week 1 of the NFL season in September.
