10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (9/14-9/16)

10. NHL Owners Lockout the Players
            Sadly, the one sport that No Credentials wouldn’t mind seeing go through a lockout is the only one of the major four that didn’t in the past year.

9. High School Senior Runs for 644 Yards and 10 Touchdowns

            For those of you that owned Oregon Ducks recruit Thomas Tyner in high school football fantasy leagues, he accounted for 124 fantasy points.

8. Notre Dame Wins at Michigan State

            People under 25 may not remember that Notre Dame used to be the most important college football program on Earth, but for all of the old farts out there, it’s great to see the Irish start 3-0.

7. Seahawks Smother Cowboys

            Fortunately, Seattle won the game because of special teams and their defense, not Russell Wilson (who No Credentials has been bashing for weeks).

6. Dwight Howard Says “I Never Wanted to Be Hated”

            He should’ve thought about that before dragging out his trade saga for 18 months. More on him and the terrifying Lakers in our NBA season preview next month.

5. Steelers Blow Out Jets

            As correctly predicted by No Credentials (correct predictions haven’t happened for me much lately, I deserve to gloat a little when it does), the loss of Darrelle Revis was huge. New York might’ve only lost 16-10 instead of 27-10.

4. Sam Bradford Out Duels RGIII

            Griffin was good in this one, but this game belonged to Sam Bradford. Much maligned after a solid rookie campaign in 2010, Bradford reestablished himself as one of the league’s best young quarterbacks with his performance against Washington. 

3. Cam Newton Leads Assault of Saints Defense
            New Orleans would be better off turning their play calling over to a 14-year old, acne infected Madden nerd than what they are stuck with now.

2. USC Loses to Stanford

            Couldn’t be happier that dirtbag Lane Kiffin, who rolled his 22-year old quarterback under the bus Sunday night, lost to Stanford again. No Jim Harbaugh or Andrew Luck? No problem!

1. Cardinals Try to Give Game Away, Still Shock Patriots

            Nearly 4,500 people were eliminated from Sportsbook’s Survivor Pool when Stephen Gostkowski shanked a 43-yard field goal. Glad I picked the Bengals.
