Men are emotionally shallow. Men only think with their lower anatomy. Men only care about big TVs and power tools. In a time when you can't say anything stereotypical about any other demographic, Page 2's Bob Halloran says you can say anything you want about men -- unless you say they're better athletes than women.

Pressure-wise, it makes the Winter Games look like a friendly canasta game at Grandma's. We're talking about 100 vicious competitors who would take the food out of your mouth to win. No, it's not the Super Bowl or even a WWF Smackdown. It's the Pillsbury Bake-Off, and before you laugh, Page 2's Jim Caple says keep this in mind ... ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

Mystery Photo One Killer Role
The pairs figure skating controversy was a very sticky situation at the Olympics, but this is a little ridiculous. The Canadian and Russian teams appear joined at the hip in this week's Page 2 Mystery Photo, so we asked our readers to explain what was going on. Even the French judge will enjoy the best responses.
 We are not making this up: John Rocker really is going to star as a pyscho killer in an upcoming movie called "The Greenskeeper." That bit of odd news prompted Page 2 to wonder whether Rocker will model his performance after lovable greenskeeper Carl Spackler or unkillable psycho Jason Voorhees.

THE POWER POLL
Canadians figure it's their God-given right to rule hockey, but do they also own Page 2's Power Poll after their Olympic sweep? Well, they've got stiff competition from Sarah Hughes, Jim Shea Jr., the U.S. bobsledders and a bunch of Olympians who NBC never showed us.


If you're looking for more dirt, Page 2 digs it up for our top 10 list of the worst scandals of all-time. Check out our list, then send us a note with your choice for the worst scandal in sports history. Later this week, we'll run our readers' list with a poll to crown the biggest scandal of them all.

10]  Canadian pairs and Russian pairs share gold medals at 2002 Olympics
An alleged vote-trading scheme is uncovered, prompting the International Skating Union and International Olympic Committee to name Canadians Jamie Salé and David Pelletier co-gold medalists with Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze.
9]  Pete Rose betting-on-baseball scandal
Baseball's hit king is banned from baseball, but he claims he didn't bet on his sport.
8]   Jim Thorpe loses his pentathlon and decathlon Olympic gold medals
Thorpe captured both events at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, but was stripped of his titles because he had played pro baseball in 1909 and 1910.

THE SPORTS GUY
After spending two weeks glued to Olympic action, Page 2's Bill Simmons turns thumbs-up and thumbs-down on the Winter Games.

TOMB RAIDER
No, Al Davis isn't dead, and he isn't a vampire. Page 2's Ralph Wiley says Big Al is alive and well after ripping off the Bucs.

COLD WINTER
Since the Super Bowl ended and until March Madness begins, the dearth of big-time sports is pushing David Lloyd away from his TV.
