Go to hell, buddy.

IT'S BACK! The most electrifying listicle in sports today, Justin McIsaac’s Top 10! We've streamlined the voting process this year, only Justin McIsaacs can vote in the Top 10. Unless I just completely made that up. Anyway...

 

10. DAVE’S ALMA MATER GETS A W

BREAK UP THE GOLDEN EAGLES! Gilford/Belmont got in the win column 26-6 over Pembroke on Saturday for their first win of the season. The Golden Eagles did a nice job containing Dom Timbas and Pat Welch... oh, right, football. My bad. It’s always good to see a struggling team snag a win (more on that later).

9. I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS GOOD IN THE NFL THIS YEAR, AND THE ANSWER MIGHT BE “NOBODY”

KC seemed like the class of the AFC, until a “wait, how are they 4-2?!?” Steelers team got a break on a deflection to Antonio Brown.

Denver seemed like a mortal lock to beat up the Giants, who had -3 WR’s last night, so of course the Giants won.

The Jets looked disturbingly competent against a Pats D that rallied, but had trouble stopping a nose bleed in the first quarter.

GB is toast now with Aaron Rodgers out.

So who’s good? Dear god, it might be the Eagles…

 

8. PELHAM IS .500

When is the last time a Pelham Pythons football team could say they were .500 this late in the season? The snakes took advantage of MY Con-Val Cougars playing without their starting QB Dan Spezzaferri to grind out a 12-0 win, thanks to a TD pass from Ian Hoey and a TD run from Mason Fecteau. Pelham ends the season with HB and West, I don’t think they can make the playoffs but could very well finish at 4-4.

7. 7 x 6 = 7-0

The Beach Boys did it again, getting to 7-0 with a 56-8 win over Seacoast rival Portsmouth Friday night. 7 TD’s on the ground lead the way for WInnacunnet, who clinched the Eastern division… er, sub-division… conference…. whatever it’s called with 2 games to play. The WHS D is getting better as the season goes on, as they’ve gone 5 straight games giving up just single digit points. As we stand here on 10/16 they’re my pick to win the whole thing in D1.

6. I AM BEGGING HYUNDAI TO STOP RUNNING THAT SWEET CAROLINE COMMERCIAL

I’m the proud owner of an ’08 Hyundai Elantra with about 190,000 miles on it (it’s paid for, I love that car). I owned a Hyundai before that, so I’m not a Hyundai hater. But, let me say here in front of the world, that if Hyundai doesn’t stop running this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQBh3WS1kUk  GOD AWFUL COMMERCIAL I SWEAR TO GOD I’LL BUY A TOYOTA NEXT TIME.

This guy is such a jerk, belting out what is now Neil Diamond’s most over played hit, drawing the ire of everyone else stuck in gridlock until, lo and behold, he finds a fellow Hyundai driver to finish murdering the song.

Since I watch every damn NFL game on Sundays, I see this ad roughly 8651665 times a weekend. Make it stop. I’m begging you.

5. FREELANCING FROM HOME MEANS DISCOVERING THAT MAURY IS STILL ON

I’m not going to lie, there’s probably nobody on this earth I’m more jealous of than Maury Povich. He’s been giving DNA and Lie Detector results for the past (looks it up…) TWENTY SIX YEARS. I’d kill for a gig where I wear a turtleneck and act all grandfatherly as I give someone the worst news of their life.

BTW, Watching Maury vs watching Jerry Springer is like when you go to Target instead of Wal-Mart. There’s not much difference, but you can fool yourself into thinking there is.

4. THE SPOTTED TURTLE TROPHY STAYS IN EPPING

The best name for a trophy in NH High School Sports stayed with the Blue Devils of Epping/Newmarket, as they held off a spirited Raymond comeback to win 46-37. Raymond has a lot of youth, so the trophy may change hands down the road, but for the 7th straight year it remains property of the Blue Devils.

3. JOSH SIBANDA IS BACK

4 TD runs for the stud from Salem powers the D1 Blue Devils to a 43-21 win over a good Merrimack team. While my Seacoast homerism tells me it’ll be Winnacunnet winning it all in Durham, I have a feeling Salem is going to have something to say about that before all is said and done.

2. KENNETT STUNS LACONIA

3 of Laconia’s now 4 losses are by a combined 12 points, so if the Sachems miss out on post season play, they’re going to have nightmares about some of these games. Brett Miller of Kennett played the role of Freddy Krueger on Friday the 13th (we’re mixing 80’s slasher movie references here, but bear with me), scoring 3 times, including 1 in the final minute to seal the win for the Eagles.

1. SPAULDING IS SO #BACK I CAN’T EVEN STAND IT

YEAH THAT’S RIGHT BABY! 211 yards from Jon Speltz, 3 total TD’s from Tyler Dickinson, and THE 28 GAME LOSING STREAK IS OVER with a 42-28 win over Memorial at Hugo Bolin Field on Friday night. I was getting  barrage of updates while in Stony Brook for UNH’s game about the exploits of what is now THE HOTTEST TEAM IN NH HS FOOTBALL!

BRING IT ON NEXT WEEK, GOFFSTOWN! OH AND YOU’RE ON THE LIST TOO, WINNACUNNETT!!!

(Justin Hufft and Ron Auffant, please be kind to my Alma Mater, thnx)

ALSO RECEIVING VOTES: No food in the press box at Stony Brook would’ve meant 34 angry tweets if I was a newspaper guy, Exeter rolls, Campbell is the favorite in D3, What will Pete Tarrier dress as for Halloween?
