Yay! I’m back! Whatever you do, do not get the stomach flu. I was totally out of comission for three days. Although I did get to sleep A LOT and no one could make fun of me. And the cat was all about the sleeping all day thing..

But anyway… it’s going to take a few days to catch up on all that I missed. Still not really sure what happened with that Eagles/Giants game. I get to pretend the Giants won for a bit longer because I was passed out through the whole game. And even though I felt a *little* bit better last night and maybe could have done some sports research, it was the start of American Idol! Like I would miss that!

I was afraid that I wasn’t going to be well enough to even do Wordless Wednesday but even though my fever is still lingering, I think I am actually feeling better!

So….Welcome to Wordless Wednesday Vol. II! Every week I am going to bring you the sports pictures of the week that just truly defy words. But I’ve discovered that I am not good at the whole wordless thing and I will not be able to refrain from captioning!

Then I’m going to let you decide which is your favorite! Each week the Photo of the Week will enter the Wordless Wednesday Hall of Fame and be eligible to compete in the monthly and then the year end WW contests!

Last Week’s winner was Rick Pitino as Dracula. Although the more I look at it, the more he looks like Christopher Walken don’t you think?

This week we have 6 vying for this Wordless Wednesday Photo of the Week:

1. Now this is the best tennis match ever

Forget all the hype about the 2008 Wimbeldon match with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. I had to put it on my Top Sports Moments countdown because it was hailed “the greatest tennis match ever!” Now see, this rematch of the two definitely looks a lot cooler!

2 & 3. The New Basketball Defensive Maneuver Part II

Leapfrog your opponent like TyShwan Edmondson of St. John does! Maybe he should have passed this trick on to his football buddies….

But be careful with this tactic. It takes a lot of practice and skill, otherwise this could happen:

Brian Cardinal tried to jump Joakin Noah when he was mid-flight and that doesn’t work!

4. Karlos Dansby’s “Nothing bad will happen if I just hold on”

I’m torn on captions here. He looks like he’s either clinging on to go for a ride down the field or that he’s terrified of what will happen next and Michael Turner’s leg is his teddy bear to protect him.

5. Donovan McNabb in…”Can you hear me now?”

“Hello Peyton? Yeah your bro’s right here on the bench. No don’t worry, he’s not busy. Hang on I’ll get him for ya”

But my favorite part is that he was called with unsportsmanlike conduct. Add to the list of things not to do during football games: No snow angels, no personal calls. ~ photo the700level

6. And finally, my truly wordless: Oklahoma’s Austin Johnson

If this is what a Sooner is, I finally get why I am supposed to be scared of it.  ~ photo nbc sports
