When good dunks go bad

Dwight Howard thrilled the world over the weekend by putting together a series of dunks that will be talked about for months and years to come. Apparently, that got the guys at on 205th thinking and they put together “The 22 Worst Dunks Ever”. Great idea, but somewhat sloppily executed considering there are only 13! Anyways, it’s still a great compilation worth checking out. Here are two of our favs:

The fun never ends when you’re O.J. Simpson’s old lady


Things just keep getting worse and worse for the Juice – actually things just keep getting worse and worse for people around the Juice. Reports surfaced on Thursday that O.J. Simpson’s girlfriend (that’s her first mistake) Christie Prody was hospitalized after supposedly falling and hitting her head. However, according to doctors, the injuries and the story don’t seem to add up, leading to the claim that her “severe head injury” could be a result of typical Simpson rage.

Now, we’re not ones to make jest of other people’s pain; luckily, Best Week Ever is. So, without further ado, we give to you their list of Top 10 Excuses Given to Doctors By O.J.’s Girlfriends.

10. “My boyfriend was just cleaning out his fist collection, and one accidentally went off.”

9. “My boyfriend bought me a rose for Valentine’s Day, only he forgot to take the thorns off. So you can imagine, when he ran the rose across my neck and face and body… things got a little bloody.”

8. “My best friend and I were playing doubles tennis. And she accidentally hit me in the face with the handle of a gun.”

7. “Doctor, it’s the strangest thing. I’m walkin’ down the street, mindin’ my own business, just walkin’ along, feelin’ good. I walk around a corner. A man walk up, hit me in my chest, right? I fall on the ground, right? And I look up, and it’s Dr. Martin Luther King! I said, `Dr. King!’ He said, `Whoops, I thought you was somebody else.'”

6. “I walked into my mom’s fist-shaped doorknob.”

5. “I was shopping at Barney’s, when I slipped and fell in their Medieval Armor department.”

4. “The Jews.”

3. “I accidentally knocked over my boyfriend’s Heismann trophy, and suddenly, out of nowhere, a 4 by 4 fell from the ceiling and hit me on the back of the head.”

2. “I was doing some light gardening when some friends of my boyfriend, including Chris Noth, David Justice, Josh Brolin, Phil Spector and Robert Blake, came by to tell me what a great job I was doing on my rose garden. Then I slipped and fell down a flight of stairs.”

1. “I’m O.J.’s Girlfriend.”

Weird Al’s "Eat It" just got topped

Call us crazy, but even as kids we weren’t digging Michael Jackson’s jams. While all our friends were sporting a single glove and the red, zippered jacket from hell, we were watching reruns of The Monkees on Nickelodeon. But we finally found reason to like Jackson’s music some 20 years later. Well, it’s not exactly his music, but this video wouldn’t have been possible without him. Oh, and Bill Belichick being a big, fat, hairy cheater played a role too.

Shaq stars in "Plays of Our Lives"

Until Shaquille O’Neal takes to the court for Phoenix and proves he’s got a little Kareem in him like everybody seems to think, there are going to be plenty of doubters who feel the Suns got raw-dogged in the deal. But, for better or worse, the deal is done. We just didn’t realize exactly how much drama went into getting Shawn Marion to South Beach and Shaq into the desert.

Did Marion just say “I’m a man“??

Bob Knight might be retired, but he still hates the zebras

Without any kids to yell at anymore, Bob Knight just doesn’t seem to know what to do with his time nowadays. In fact, the General is apparently getting so bored sitting around the Knight estate that he decided to try his hand comedy, making an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno in a referee shirt. Not odd enough for you? What if we told you the cantankerous one is a fan of Larry the Cable Guy.

Sean Salisbury’s tactics might be childish, but you can’t blame him for being honest

Maybe it was “Bootgate” or maybe it was Plaxico Burress’ slightly awry (but nevertheless correct) victory prediction. Or maybe it was just because after two weeks of incessant coverage we just couldn’t stomach anymore jibber-jabber from the talking heads on SportsCenter. Any way you slice, we missed out on a sweet catfight between Sean “Shut Up Old Man” Salisbury and John “Crypt Keeper” Clayton.

We normally like Salisbury, but for some reason, he turns into ESPN‘s biggest jackass when sharing the screen with Clayton. Believe it or not Sean, but it is actually possible to be informed and have an opinion about football even if you’ve never stepped foot onto a field. Your history of wearing a jock doesn’t give you any special analytical powers and your school-yard-bully tactics make you look ridiculous.

You might be spot on in this instance, Clayton does look likes he’s been dead for about a decade, but you still look foolish in your approach. Even when side by side with the living Crypt Keeper.

We just can’t let go of Bob Knight

Don’t ask us why, we can’t explain it. Bobby Knight is just days into his retirement, but we’re already feeling nostalgic for the Knight era. We’ve hated the cantankerous old fart for decades now, but suddenly it’s as if our best friend took our dog and split town with our old lady. Okay, so it’s not quite that bad, but if we had to equate our inner feelings to something it would be a scab – it’s irritating, it’s a nuisance, it’s annoying and it can be painful, but when it’s gone, you always find yourself feeling where it once was.

Yup, the General was pretty much a verbal Picasso.

"Chunk of Love" – You can say that again!

Shaq is totally confusing us. One minute he’s on the bench with the Heat, the next he’s heading to Phoenix for a physical. And sandwiched in-between the two, Shaq strangely spent some time as a horse jockey. (Poor horse.) Apparently, he didn’t stick with that career endeavor because there was some serious jealousy and hostility going on in the locker room. Turns out the horses aren’t the only ones hung like horses.

What was American Gladiators thinking when they passed on Skitzo?!

We were kind of skeptical about the new American Gladiators after the first episode. Way too much talking for our tastes. But now that we’re fast forwarding through the commercials and the pre/post event chit-chat, it’s a whole lot more tolerable. And it only takes about 15 minutes to watch!

Besides the constant jabber, the main difference between the old version and the new school one is the Gladiators. They just don’t pick `em like they used to. Some of those guys are just plain weird – yes, we’re talking about you Wolf. Still, they beat the heck out of the rejects.

Terry Bradshaw sets the stage for a good ol’ "That’s what she said"

When we first heard that Terry Bradshaw dropped an F-bomb during the Super Bowl pregame show, we were like “Whoa! Dude! How’d we miss that?” Then we realized that FOX‘s coverage started at like 3:30 a.m., so then we were like “Whoa! Dude! How’d we miss that?” *Sigh* We really have no lives.

Hey, it could have been a whole lot worse.
