This week's edition features special teamsters, Heat coolers, Sid the Kid (yes, again), some girls who are really good at basketball and the big man in red. Enjoy!
What Up Kick Returners - This week was a big week for returners. We saw Devon Hester break the all-time record for the most returns for touchdowns in a career. We saw DeSean Jackson win the game for the Eagles against the Giants off a punt return with no time remaining on the clock. But perhaps the most entertaining return of the week was made by Dan Connolly of the Patriots. Never heard of him? Probably because he's always in the trenches. The 6'4", 313 lb. guard used his blazing speed to return this kick 71 yards. He wasn't quite able to heave his way into the endzone but it's still one of the best returns you'll ever see, and if you haven't seen it yet you need to:

What Up Dallas Mavericks - 
You broke the Miami Heat's 12-game winning streak on Monday night which everyone is happy about (at least those I've asked, who all seem to share a bond linked by a common sense of bitterness as well as a strong desire to see the Heat crash and burn this year), and you're now 2-0 against them this season. If only you guys played them 60 times a year... Plus, you're second in the West behind the Spurs.
What Up Sidney Crosby... Again - Last week your streak was at 19 games, and I figured it might be over by now but I guess I shouldn't underestimate the Sid. Your streak is now at 21 with a chance to extend it tonight against the Panthers. And congratulations, you now have another, perhaps even more noteworthy streak going with the most consecutive What Up's with 2. Oh, AND, you still have that dusty mustache. Lots of good things going on.
What Up UConn Women's Basketball - I'm not much of a women's basketball fan but this is a significant feat that may never be broken in Division I sports. With Tuesday night's win over Florida St. UConn hit 89 wins, the longest streak in Division I history, but perhaps even more impressive than the streak itself is the way in which they've been able to set this record. They've demolished nearly every team they've played on their way to win 89 (their average winning margin during the streak is over 30 points a game), and there's no indication that they're going to stop anytime soon. This record will most likely break 100, and while it's special for those who are currently on the team, it's perhaps even more significant for those who were with the team earlier to help build this program into the empire it is today.
What Up SANTA CLAUSE - We all know you've got a pretty busy week. I thought my shopping list was tough. Hopefully you're doing alright up there on the North Pole; just know we're all rooting for you! And since I gave you a what up maybe you could be a little extra generous this year... Just a thought.
