It’s back! The Winter edition of the Top 10 is here. The listicle you can’t live without. Just remember– this is a STATE WEBSITE and I expect you to send me ideas for this list. YOU GOT THAT?!?!?!

The Top 10 is brought to you by TJ’S in Portsmouth! My absolute favorite spot in Portsmouth to catch a game. Tell Bethany that McIsaac sent you.

10. GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT

“I know everyone thinks we suck, and can’t win any games. So, we’ll see. It’ll be fun,” – Tom Brady

Tom Brady has heard all the Felger & Maz and Max Kellerman and Stephen A and any other hack who doesn’t have the common sense to keep the GOAT’s name out of their mouth, and he is NOT HERE FOR THE BS. A pissed off Brady is not what KC wanted coming in. You’d think Brady would be happy after a complete dismantling of the LA Chargers. You’d be mistaken.

9. THE DEBUT OF CAGED HEAT

I have seen the future, and it is Lance Legere. The unofficial Mayor of Gorham made his NHSP debut at a very good STA v Belmont game, and it’s just a matter of time before he and Austin Grass are running the whole show. *Hulk Hogan voice* WELCOME TO THE LEGERE ERA, BROTHER.

8. CAPTIOL CHAOS TUESDAY ON NHSPORTSPAGE

Merrimack Valley has just one loss (to a legit Con-Val team). Pembroke got a huge win over Oyster River, then maybe fell into a bit of a trap against a really good Pelham team with another rival looming. Both squads were Final Four teams last year, and look good enough to get back this year, and NHSportspage will be in the house for the action Tuesday night, it should be a good one!

7. SPEAKING OF TUESDAY NIGHT, HOPKINTON CAMPBELL SHOULD BE OFF THE CHARTS

The last two unbeatens in D3 will lock horns in Litchfield on Tuesday night, in what could be a preview of the title game at SNHU. If I’m not mistaken, Pete Tarrier will be in the house, that’s right, AT CAMPBELL! It should be a good time all the way around.

6. I’M LEGIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE CELTICS

After the loss to Orlando and hearing that Kyrie was just sitting in front of his locker in his uniform after everyone else had already showered and left, I have some worries about a team I thought was going to win 60 games and breeze to the 1 seed. Who needs to be traded? It’s Jaylen Brown, right?

5. PHILLY’S ONE YEAR DYNASTY COMES TO AN END

After almost 11 months on top of the football world, the Eagles dynasty came to a halt last night in New Orleans. Nick Foles, who is wildly disrespected by ungrateful Philly fans, watch a pass sail through Alshon Jefferies hands, and thus the final pillar of the dynasty crumbled. Oh, I’m sorry, it wasn’t a dynasty, it was one of the luckiest runs to a title (where the Eagles were gifted 14 points on blown calls) in the history of sports. Turns out it isn’t easy to get back to the SuperBowl year after year, is it? Also, Carson Wentz is over-rated and fragile.

4. YOU’RE GOING TO THINK I’M CRAZY, BUT FARMINGTON AT PITTSFIELD MIGHT BE A BANGER TONIGHT

Yes, Pittsfield whacked Farmington in the Tiger Den back on 12/21, when the Tigers were dealing with all sorts of suspension issues due to the fight at Sunapee. But if you look at FHS’s last 3, you see:

That ain’t too shabby. I think Adam Thurston’s team is starting to play better, and the Panther’s shouldn’t overlook them – this one should go right down to the wire.

(If it doesn’t and Pittsfield waxes them again, forget I said this)

3. THE DANCIN SABERS

A great win for Matt McCool and Souhegan at the Dave Smith Dome (the CBNA Boys are gonna end up banning Jen from their games, first Kearsarage and then Souhegan….), and, even though Pete Tarrier was nowhere to be found, a little dancing from the Sabers ensued. I don’t know the name of 52 for the Sabers, but my man can move despite looking about 24 years old with that beard.

2. THAT “HOW MUCH DID YOU AGE IN 10 YEARS CHALLENGE” THING EVERYONE IS DOING ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM

The answer is: 10 years. I’m blocking everyone that does this. Everyone. Even you. Yes, you.

1. IS SALEM THE BEST TEAM IN THE STATE?

They can certainly make that claim, although Exeter and Winnacunnet might disagree. The Blue Devil beat up Portsmouth, which is something that hardly anyone can say they’ve done over the last 10 years or so. They’ve got one game this week (at Trinity) which they shouldn’t look past, but the big one is at Exeter next Tuesday, that could be a final 4 or finals preview.

ALSO RECEIVING VOTES: Carson Wentz’s neck acne, Arie Breakfield’s putback for the win at Londonderry, All the Andy Reid Kool Aid Meme’s we should see this week, Keith Brown and Endicott at UNE Wednesday
