It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you look like while playing the game. Long after the results and records are forgotten, the bad 'dos of athletes and coaches live on in Page 2's Bad Sports Hair Hall of Shame. From Agassi's mullet to Marv Albert's toupee to Gene Keady's combover, all the legends are here.

The Raiders have long been the Nasty Boys of the NFL, an unruly gang of girdiron outlaws who would rather put a severe hurting on you than anything, even winning the game. But the Raiders are nothing compared to their fans, says Page 2's Ralph Wiley, who advises any visitors to the Black Hole to consider indigenous camouflage ... at least, if they intend to survive the experience.

10 Burning Questions The Daily Quickie
She's beautiful and funny, which is a good combination. But Page 2 wondered how good Shannon Elizabeth was in handling pressure, so we sent Eric Neel to hit the "American Pie" actress -- who was snowboarding (yes, she's also an athlete) -- with our 10 Burning Questions. Hey, what can we say? She's a good talker, too.
 Who in the world would possibly have the nerve to DQ Anna Kournikova? Why the Daily Quickie, of course. As Anna makes another early exit Down Under, the Quickie also wonders how Marvin Lewis will do in Cincy, when Troy Aikman will come to his senses, and if any high school kid has more nerve than LeBron James.

THE KING LIVES!
Page 2's Jim Caple spotted Elvis Presley alive and well last weekend in Seattle. In fact, Caple saw no fewer than 22 Elvises. Our man attended the annual Elvis Invitational, where he saw impersonators of the King that were young and old, male and female ... and even one that he couldn't quite tell if it was male or female.


With the NFL postseason in full swing, Page 2 got to thinking about all the upsets and underdogs of football playoffs past. Check out our list of the 10 greatest upsets in NFL playoff history and vote in the poll to pick the biggest shocker ever.

10]  Vikings burn 49ers in 1987 NFC divisional game
The Vikings receiver Anthony Carter caught 10 passes for 227 yards on a wet Candlestick Park field as wild-card Minnesota shocked San Francisco 36-24.
9]  Denver beats Green Bay in XXXII thriller
The Packers, with uber-MVP Brett Favre at the helm, seemed a lock for a second straight Super Bowl title. But John Elway, who QBed Denver to three Super Bowl defeats, drove the Broncos to a game-winning TD with 1:45 left, and finally got to hug the Vince.
8]  Jags beat Broncos in '96 divisional
In only their second NFL season, the Jags upset the Bills and then the top-seeded Broncos, both by scores of 30-27, both on enemy turf -- to advance to the AFC Championship Game.
7]  Seahawks stun Dolphins in '83 divisional
The 12-4 Dolphins, the '82 AFC champs, seemed a lock, especially playing in front of a home crowd at the Orange Bowl with star rookie QB Dan Marino at the controls. This mattered not to Seattle, who had snuck into the playoffs for the first time in their eight-year history, as a wild-card team.
