Best of the Week 2010: Week 3-5

First off, Apologizes for missing out on the past couple weeks. I've had my hands full with school and studying so I have not had time to put together Best of the Week until now. Of course that means 3 weeks worth of goodness!

Many of you may be asking what in the world is going on the NFL this season. Teams speculated to do well are performing poorly, and franchises which have been in the toilet so long people forgot about them are rebounding to the top of the charts. There's also the former superstar turned dog killer regaining his status as a feared competitor, while his white-hype teammate has fallen to his backup. Of course the events in the actual games have been just as awesome/bizarre. Hit the jump to check out the best of the best from the past two weeks.

In some cruel twist of fate, god has granted the Kansas City Chiefs the ability to not only be an elite football team, but to pull off awesome plays. If you were one of the four people who predicted that the Chiefs would be the last undefeated team in the league before the season started, then give yourself a pat on the back, your retarded wager has paid off for you. Seriously, if there was not video evidence I would not believe in any of the Chiefs success. Luckily we do have video evidence:

Seriously....what.

If the Monday night matchup between the Patriots and the Dolphins proved anything, it showed how important special teams can be in a game. Though New England's offense scored two touchdowns by their own accord, it was due to the inadequate play of Miami that the Patriots were able to completely dominate the game. With a blocked punt, as well as a blocked field goal which was returned for a touchdown, and a kickoff return for a touchdown the Dolphins shot themselves in both their feet. The worst part of all this? Facing a fantasy team down by 5 points who only had Brandon Tate left on their roster.

This man single-handily destroyed thousands of friendships that night

The great thing about the Raiders is that they are truly the kings of schlop. When they lose games they do it in such spectacular fashion that you can add a benny hill laugh track to it and it will always be appropriate. Fortunately for Oakland this misfortunate swings both ways, as the games that they win are filled with strange occurrences, only they are to their benefit. If there had to be some kind of reasoning behind this, then look no further than Al Davis's ability to summon magic pigeons.

 

For Detroit fans this week may have been about the Lions getting their first win. However, for anyone who doesn't live in Povertyville it was about one magical moment where the lines between football and godliness were crossed. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...the carlton dance td celebration:

 

The Lions have now certified themselves as America's Team

This one has nothing to do with sports, but I thought it was just so awesome that I had to share it. Seriously, who wants to watch humans compete against each other in an eating competition when we can test our greatest eaters against animals! Because everything is better with animals.

 

This next video isn't Pro football, but it's just so outrageous that I had to put it up. The only thing I can compare it to  is the CFL or the 0-16 Lions.

 

Say what you will about the Browns, but they are always entertaining. Unfortunately, most of the time it comes at their own expense.

Also, this apparently happened:
