Open wide, it’s time for a Spalding sandwich

We’re not the biggest volleyball fans in the world, but for some reason we always seem to find ourselves on the edges of our seats whenever we come across a match. We’ll sit motionless and stare for hours in anticipation of that perfect, glorious moment when one player makes an ideal set and another soars above the net and delivers a 100 mph spike right into their opponents’ grill.

It’s basically the slam dunk of the volleyball world and there’s no sympathy in slamming or spiking – you get a facial and you will get laughed at.

Chicken egg, corner pocket

If you ever run across this chicken in a pool hall, DO NOT play for money. She’s a hustler and you’ve been warned.

Hey, at least you’re in know now. We lost $250 to the little plucker!

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:

First a beagle wins best in show and now this!


Hunting is foreign to us. We’ve never sat in a tree for hours on end, waiting patiently for a turkey or a deer or a pig to cross our path so we could pump it full of lead. Bobby Knight might love it, but it just isn’t our cup of tea. However, we do love dogs. So, it was a big time shock to us to hear that bloodhounds aren’t the only dogs that come in handy when you’re out in the woods looking for game. Turns out that god’s cruel joke on the world of canines are actually blood thirsty beasts.

Poodles were the original hunting dog, brought to Eastern Europe from Asia. They just took a wrong turn when they came to the U.S.,” said Eileen Jaskowski, among a handful of breeders determined to set the direction straight.

This may seem a strange quest to anyone whose perception of poodles starts with velvet cushions and ends with rhinestone collars. But Jaskowski is dead serious — as illustrated by an excited dog with a mallard clutched in its teeth.

Wow, talk about an eye opener. Who knew? What’s next, is someone going to tell us that pugs are ideal for mountain top rescues if you latch a keg of brandy under their necks?

Floyd Mayweather faces his BIGGEST challenge to date, even if it’s fake

Floyd Mayweather doesn’t need any cheap gimmicks to keep his name in the headlines or to remind people that he is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, but that didn’t stop him displaying his twinkle-toes on Dancing With the Stars. On Sunday, he did it again by hopping in the ring with The Big Show at the WWE pay-per-view No Way Out. In case you haven’t heard, Mayweather teed off on the big fella and broke his nose, leaving one pissed off, bleeding giant wanting revenge. On Monday Night RAW, Show got what he wanted when he convinced Mayweather to take him on in a wrestling match. We don’t know how the WWE plans to spin this thing, but it should be interesting to watch. Hopefully, just hopefully, it ends with another flurry of fists; just like it started.

ESPN slips deeper into the toilet

We know that ESPN has a ton of time to kill every week, so we can understand all the greatest highlight gimmicks and even the contest to determine the hottest athletes, but we have no idea what Bullseye Ball is. Nor do we want to after seeing who its champion is.

On second thought, it might not be the most glamorous segment ever on ESPN, but anything that keeps Stu Scott off the screen can’t be all that bad.

Kimbo Slice has a HUGE coming out party in his hometown

If you don’t know who Kimbo Slice is then head to YouTube and search the name. He’s easily one of the most intimidating and scary individuals to ever emerge in the world of MMA. On Saturday, he stepped into the cage for just his third professional fight and crushed the bar room brawler Tank Abbott in an EliteXC main event from Miami. Slice likes his fights short and sweet and Saturday was no different. All it took was 43 seconds for Kimbo to prove “he’s got more game than a wildlife preserve.”

Next stop UFC!

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.”

Hey, who turned the lights out? OWEN!!


Next time you heard to the Kemper Arena to watch the Kansas City Brigade be sure to look up in the rafters because you just might catch a glimpse of the late, great Owen Hart in his Blue Blazer costume. That is if you believe college newspapers with no sources.

The column, called “Haunted America,” runs regularly in The Anchor, a student newspaper at Rhode Island College, and discusses various ghost sightings and suspected supernatural activities across the country. We should note that the column discussing the ghost story at Kemper Arena had no attributions.

“Employees (at Kemper Arena) have claimed to have seen (Hart) in the rafters wearing the costume he was wearing for his gimmick,” the newspaper wrote, “as well as the cable before he began the descent. There have also been reports of flickering lights and other power sources that seem to go on and off in some areas of the arena.”

Hart plunged 78 feet to his death at Kemper Arena when the quick-release mechanism on his harness opened as he was lowered from a catwalk.

No knock on Owen Hart, but if you want to see some serious sports royalty then you gotta make your way to FedExField to catch a Skins game because more careers have died there than anywhere.
