In related news, Bill Clinton is claiming he had nothing to do with the stain on Monica Lewinsky’s dress.
9. Jon Beason Defends Cam Newton, Blasts Alex Smith
It’s
a great sign to see someone from the opposite side of the ball defend their quarterback. Buy stock in the
2012 Carolina Panthers.
8. Landon Donovan Nets a Hat Trick
Apparently,
this still means something even though it happened against Scotland.
7. Junior Dos Santos Destroys Frank Mir
Mir
had no chance against Dos Santos Saturday
night. Equally impressive was Cain Velasquez, who demolished Antonio Silva in a
first round bloodbath.
6. Spurs Take Control Late, Snag Game 1 Win Over Thunder
A 39-point fourth quarter for the Spurs
spelled doom for Oklahoma City.
5. Kasey Kahne Wins Third Career Coca-Cola 600
The
start of Kahne’s 2012 season (his first driving for Rick Hendrick) was a
complete disaster, but that is all forgotten now. Kahne put on a show with 70
laps to go, rocketing from seventh to first in less than ten laps.
4. Josh Hamilton, in Need of IV and Oxygen, Hits
Walk-Off Homer
With
as dominant as Hamilton has been this season,
I could read “Hamilton hits three home runs despite left arm falling off” and
not be surprised.
3. New Jersey Devils Advance to Stanley Cup Finals With
Game 6 Overtime Win
I
had to do a little digging, but I was able to find a paragraph some idiot blogger posted in response to an
e-mail back in January.
Please make the case for Martin Brodeur to hang
up his goalie pads. – Claude R., Berlin, NH
Sadly, it’s not a hard one to make. If Brodeur were to
finish the season with his current .893 save percentage, that would be a career
low (other than when Brodeur had a four game cup of tea back in 1991-92).
Getting pelted with shots behind a shoddy Devils defense hasn’t helped (he
doesn’t have the luxury of having guys like Scott Stevens taking care of
business for him), but the fact remains that the team looks better when Johan
Hedberg is in net. Remember this paragraph in June when a red-hot Brodeur is
carrying the eighth seeded Devils to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Man that guy was a dumbass…oh wait that was me! Further proof that this blog is called No Credentials for a reason.
2. Stubborn Celtics Outlast 76ers, Earn a
Date With Miami
Will Boston get slaughtered by Miami in the Easern Conference Finals?
Probably, but the 2011-12 Celtics will be
remembered as one of the more resiliant Celtics clubs of the post-Bird era.
1. Dario Franchitti Wins Third Indianapolis 500
Dario
recovered from getting spun out on pit road, and then survived a last-lap dive bomb attempt by Takuma Sato
to claim his third 500 trophy. A great finish to a great day filled with
multiple tributes to the late Dan Wheldon (who remember, was the defending
champion of the 500).This post will be the final review of the weekend until the week after Labor Day (aka Week 1 of the NFL season). I typically will run these through the end of the NBA Finals, but I have a wedding to go to this weekend followed by two weeks of new job training out of town (believe it or not, I'm still not paying the bills writing these uninformed columns). We’ll still be posting throughout the summer (although it could be a little quiet the next few weeks) about a variety of different topics, so continue to stay tuned to “No Credentials At All” all summer long. Drive on.
