It's been another stellar week here at Best Damn. To recap the week backstage behind the scenes, here's our feature producer, Matt.

Happy belated birthday to John Salley, who turned 42 on Tuesday. What do you get a 7-foot tall, ex-pro athlete who has four NBA Championship rings and played alongside Isiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal (to name a few)?

The gift that keeps on giving. A Special Edition copy of Napoleon Dynamite. Why Napoleon Dynamite? It was a free giveaway to all of our audience members. We snagged an extra copy and put it in Sal's dressing room. The Best Damn Sports Show Period spares no expense when a birthday rolls around. The man has four NBA rings for God's sake, what else does he need?

Salley might have left somewhat empty-handed, but the guys working on the production staff did get a treat Tuesday afternoon. Jessica Simpson made an appearance on the FOX Lot.

The buzz traveled at the speed of light. I went down to the Commissary to look for myself, and found a large group of Best Damn staff members ogling at Jessica from the sandwich line. For some reason it took everyone an inordinately long amount of time to place their orders. I must say, the divorce process is treating Jessica very well.

Tonight we are airing the Top 50 NBA finishes from this season. Hoopheads will enjoy this one. Not going to give too much away, but if you are a Carmelo Anthony fan, set your TiVo now. As former Virginia Men's basketball coach Pete Gillen once said, "He's on TV more than "Leave it to Beaver" reruns!"

There's two seconds left on the clock and your team is down by a bucket. Who do you want taking the final shot on your team? Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson? I take Valpo's finest, Bryce Drew. Ole Miss has never been the same since.

Speaking of great finishes ... where were you on March 28, 1992? I was sitting on my living room couch witnessing the unreal finish to the NCAA East Regional Finals between Duke and Kentucky.

Christian Laettner's shot was phenomenal, but the real MVP of that game was Thomas Hill. He had 19 points and 3 rebounds, but that means nothing to me. T-Hill earned that MVP by weeping like a baby on national TV after Laettner hit the turnaround jumper. I dare you to find a better reaction in all of sports than Thomas Hill's TEARS OF JOY. Not gonna happen people.

Don't believe me? See for yourself (click here).

Sidenote: How great are the NBA playoffs? I am officially onboard. Thanks to TiVo, I fly through each game in about an hour.

For all of you scoring at home this is my 3^rd TiVo reference. Yes, it is the best electronic invention in the last 20 years. No I am not being compensated for this plug.

Thanks Matt -- make sure to hook us all up when your TiVo advertising dollars roll in ...

Stay tuned to Best Damn next week, with guests like Paul Pierce, Baron Davis, Phil Gordon, Vince Vaughn, Artie Lange -- plus Best Damn Beatdowns next Friday!!!
