10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (9/13-9/15)

10. NASCAR Adds Jeff Gordon to The Chase Field
            NASCAR has made up enough rules on the fly, so adding another car to the playoffs isn’t really a huge deal.

9. New York Jets Place Mark Sanchez on IR
            Unfortunately for Jets fans, Sanchez wasn’t permanently placed there.

8. Floyd Mayweather Wins Again
            It’s tempting to bet against Mayweather, but you always have to remember that he never loses.

7. Alabama Outlasts Texas A&M
            At least Johnny Football covered the spread.

6. Matt Kenseth Wins 12-Hour Marathon at Chicago
            Kenseth backing up his top-seed is certainly noteworthy, but the bigger deal is Kyle Busch finishing second. Busch has annually crapped his pants in the opening event of the playoffs, so for him to get off to a solid start is huge.

5. Peyton Punks Eli Again
            Tom Brady is Rock, Peyton Manning is Scissors, and Eli is Paper. I swear that makes sense.

4. Rookie Receiver DeAndre Hopkins Lifts Texans to Overtime Victory
            Houston has been looking for a compliment to Andre Johnson for years. When Johnson went down with a concussion, Hopkins had his coming out party.

3. Seahawks Pound 49ers
            There isn’t a more valuable twelfth man in THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE than the home crowd in Seattle. San Francisco never had a chance Sunday night.

2. Boston Red Sox Honor The Hammer of God, Complete Sweep of Yankees
            Say what you want about the Boston Red Sox, but no one handles pre-game ceremonies better than them. Their tribute to Mariano Rivera, complete with a comedic tribute to his blown saves in the 2004 ALCS, was perfect.

1. E.J. Manuel Leads Stunning Buffalo Bills Comeback     
            Not a lot of nice things happen athletically for the people of Buffalo, so we at No Credentials are always happy when something pleasant happens. There’s a chance that E.J. Manuel is the real deal.
