Hang up the chainsaw, Jason Voorhees. Take a nap, Freddy Krueger. The scariest new video release isn't something you'll find at Blockbuster. It's "Mike Tyson: Unplugged," and it ran on SportsCenter over the weekend. Page 2's Brian Murphy caught Iron Mike's diatribe ... and he simply hasn't been the same since.
MURPHY: FEAR THE FREAK!

When you watch pro hoops from the 1970s, you often cringe at the game you're seeing. But not when you watch Walt Frazier. "Clyde" was ahead of his time, and the Knicks guard defined style both on and off the court. Page 2 went one-on-one with Frazier in our 10 Burning Questions, and he was -- what else? -- cool under pressure.

Tale of the Tall Mystery Photo
NBA scouts might see Yao Ming as a potential franchise player, but Page 2 can't get visions of Manute Bol, Gheorghe Muresan and Shawn Bradley out of our heads. Our Dan Shanoff ventures to the land of giants and compares how these towering 7-footers stack up.
 We've seen Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova endorse a product or two, but we still can't figure out why the two tennis divas are hanging out with model Cindy Crawford in this week's Page 2 Mystery Photo. If you can explain what this trio is up to, drop us a line.

BEING ... ANNA KOURNIKOVA
There are some lows that even Page 2 will not stoop to.

However, we can offer an even more revealing look at the tennis temptress -- a peek inside her head.


Page 2 presents our list of the 10 dirtiest professional team players of all-time. Take a look at our list, then send us your choice for the dirtiest player in sports history. Later this week we'll run the readers' list along with a poll to crown the dirtiest player ever.

10]  Jack Tatum (defensive back -- Oakland Raiders, Houston Oilers, 1971-80)
The limits of aggressiveness were questioned on his hit during a 1978 exhibition game that paralyzed New England wide receiver Daryl Stingley.
9]  Jim Loscutoff (power forward -- Boston Celtics, 1955-64)
Red Auerbach drafted "Jungle Jim" to be an enforcer, and Loscutoff turned out to be a "thug extraordinaire," wrote Sam McManis in the Los Angeles Times.
8]  Johnny Sample (defensive back -- Baltimore Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Redskins, New York Jets, 1958-68)
His 1970 autobiography was titled "Confessions of a Dirty Ballplayer," and few of his contemporaries argued.
