10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (4/19-4/21)

10. James Harrison Signs With Cincinnati
            It isn’t on the scale of Brett Favre playing for the Vikings against Green Bay, but seeing Harrison against the Steelers will be pretty weird.

9. Gonzaga Center Kelly Olynyk Enters NBA Draft

            No one is more excited about this than Mavericks center Chris Kaman, who after a decade long run will finally have competition for the distinction of ugliest player in the NBA.

8. Pacers Clobber Hawks

7. Lakers Can’t Score Against Spurs
6. Heat Dominate Bucks
            None of these games were particularly watchable, but No Credentials always has room in the weekend review to celebrate a successful three-team teaser.

5. Darrelle Revis Acquired By Tampa Bay Buccaneers
            Because you know, paying a cornerback who just had ACL surgery six months ago $16 million a year makes a ton of sense.

4. Matt Kenseth Dominates Kansas

            Other than the car-crunching collision between Kyle Busch and Joey Logano, the only other noteworthy moment of this race was Kenseth briefly racing his former car, now driven by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. A late caution during a pit cycle put the #17 deep in the field, and gift-wrapped Kenseth’s second win with Joe Gibbs Racing.

3. Carmelo Goes Bonkers Again, Leads Knicks to Game 1 Win Over Boston
            Boston had a win brewing through three quarters, but an eight point fourth quarter did the Celtics in.

2. 98 Year-Old Nuggets Point Guard Andre Miller Leads Thrilling Game 1 Win over Golden State

            Incredibly, Miller didn’t need to use a walker to make his game-winning lay-up.

1. Boston Wins

            Starting with the terrifying manhunt that ended in an alert man’s boat, and culminating in a stirring pre-game ceremony at Fenway Park that was emphatically concluded by David Ortiz, the citizens of Boston have a lot to be proud about after the dramatic events of last week. B-Strong Boston.

10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (3/8-3/10)

10. Steelers Cut James Harrison
            Pittsburgh fans will forever be grateful for Harrison’s 100-yard interception return in the Super Bowl.

9. 15-20 Liberty Flames Earn NCAA Tournament Bid

            Liberty will go down as the second worst team to make postseason play in sports play, narrowly losing out to the 2008 Miami Dolphins.

8. Deron Williams Buries NBA Record 9 Threes in First Half Against Wizards

            For those not in the know, that’s a lot of fucking threes.

7. Canadiens and Mexicans Beat the Shit Out of Each Other in World Baseball Classic
            As soon as the first punch was thrown, the brawl became the most interesting thing that has ever happened in the WBC. Hopefully this doesn’t lead to tension between the two countries, as I’d hate for the United States to get caught in the crossfire.

6. Chicago Blackhawks Finally Lose a Regulation Game

            Incredibly, the Blackhawks have now lost two games in a row.

5. Matt Kenseth Celebrates Birthday With a Win at Las Vegas
            It was an impressive feat for Kenseth to hold off Kasey Kahne (who had the fastest car all day) with old tires to score his first win for Joe Gibbs Racing. Early returns from his move from Roush Fenway are positive.

4. Boston Outlasts Hawks

3. Kobe Bryant Wills Lakers to Overtime Win Over Toronto
            It’s been a rough season for the longtime NBA rivals, but things are finally looking up for Boston and L.A. Boston has climbed all the way to sixth in the Eastern Conference, while the Lakers are currently in the top eight in the West for the first time in 2013.

2. Miami Heat Run Winning Streak to 18

            There is no debating who the current favorite to win the NBA Finals is right now. When you’re the defending champs, you’ve won 18 in a row, and you employ the best player on Earth, it’s hard to argue for the Spurs or Thunder.

1. Tiger Woods Dominates for 76^th Career PGA Tour Victory

            No Credentials has said it before, and we’ll write it again. Golf is ten times more watchable when Tiger Woods is firing on all cylinders. There has never been an athlete that has single-handedly carried his sport like Tiger. It’s hard not to get excited about his chances at The Masters in a few weeks.
