Page 2's Gregg Easterbrook wonders about athletes who claim God is on their side as they win games, especially when they throw five interceptions and lose the next week. Some players, such as former quarterback Frank Reich, believe God pre-ordains all outcomes. So what happens when Notre Dame plays Holy Cross?

The Daily Quickie says it's time to stop feeling sorry for the aging Andre Agassi. His five-set exit from Wimbledon at the hands of Mark Philippoussis clears the way for tennis' new wave of stars to shine, including Andy Roddick. Plus, the Quickie rants on about the ACC, the Big East and . . . Bobby Bonilla????

Ballpark Tour Overrated Bracket
Page 2's summerlong series on major league ballparks kicks off with Jim Caple's look at Safeco Field in Seattle . . . or is it in Cincinnati? Atlanta? From most Safeco seats, it's hard to tell that Puget Sound is right next door.
Clever readers will notice that Page 2's Most Overrated Person Alive bracket has a first-round survivor in the actress category with the same name as a first-round survivor in the musician category. Will J-Lo meet J-Lo in the finals?

GUITAR GODS
Sure, the good ol' USA has the best darn athletes in the world. So why are we so weak when it comes to really important competitions like air guitar. Page 2's Brian Kamenetzky examines this burning issue.


Last week, we gave you our list of most overrated current athletes. This week, we give you the most overrated athletes of all time:
10]  Apolo Ohno
Ohno already deserves a spot in SI's "Where are they now?" issue. A couple of questions: Why was he an SI cover boy last year?
9]  O.J. Simpson
Simpson had one incredible year, and two other great ones. But if you check out his career stats, what you'll find is five fine seasons and six so-so ones.
8]  Pete Rose
He's got the most hits in baseball history, but that doesn't make him the greatest hitter in baseball history, as many casual fans believe. Rose kept himself in the game for five years after he should have retired.
