Ethan Zohn became the best-known -- and richest -- assistant soccer coach in history when he won the $1 million prize on "Survivor Africa" earlier this month.

Mystery Photo The Power Poll
If you stare at our Mystery Photo long enough, Steve Mariucci will be able to read your thoughts. Page 2 couldn't figure out what the 49ers coach was doing after his team's playoff loss to the Pack, so we asked for our readers help. As usual, our psychic friends were right in tune with Mooch.
 With the Super Bowl fast approaching, it's not surprising that NFL teams dominate both the winners' and losers' rankings in this week's Page 2 Power Poll. But who's No. 1 -- the Rams or the Steelers? And who was the biggest loser -- Brian Billick's rep, Brett Favre, the Raiders or the Buccaneers?


While ESPN determines the "World's Sexiest Athlete," Page 2 lists the top 10 sexiest athletes from yesteryear. After checking out our rankings, send us your choice for the sexiest athlete from the past. There's one stipulation, they must be retired. Then later this week we'll run our readers' top 10 along with a poll to crown the sexiest retired athlete.
10]  Anne White
Remember the white all-body suit she wore at Wimbledon?
9]   Wilt Chamberlain

7]   Gabrielle Reece
Technically retired, which is good enough for us.
