	Oh, sure, he's embarrassed about his dust-up with Pedro Martinez. And, yes, Don Zimmer (also known as the Gerbil) said all the right things when he met the press. But in one of those special, exclusive, inside, nobody-else-has-this-stuff interviews that only Page 2 can get, Jim Caple learns what Zim really thinks. CAPLE: RODENT ON THE WARPATH

	We tried to score tickets to Game 3 at Fenway the old-fashioned way. We begged. We cried. We offered up our first-born. When that didn't work, we sent Page 2's Darren Rovell up to Yawkey Way to see if he could buy his way in. Fat chance! Seats were so scarce he couldn't even buy his way into a bathroom.

Best Uniform Bracket		Revisionist History

	You won't find these matchups anywhere else. Page 2's Best Uniforms Bracket is down to the Final Four, with semifinals that pit the Broncos against the Red Wings and the Wolverines against the Chargers. Vote now!

10]	Jim Mora After the Colts lost 40-21 to the 49ers in Indianapolis on Nov. 25, 2001, Mora lost his cool, big-time. "Playoffs?" he said. "Are you kidding me? I just hope we can win a game, another game." So much for standing up for his own guys.

9]	Jeff Van Gundy He claimed he was trying to protect his player, the Knicks' Larry Johnson. But when the diminutive Van Gundy charged onto the court on April 30, 1998, and grabbed Alonzo Mourning's leg, he looked more like a "human hammock," according to Newsday.

8]	John Chaney After a 56-55 Massacuhsetts victory over Temple on Feb. 13, 1994, Chaney, the Owls' coach, broke into a post-game press conference being conducted by John Calipari and shouted, "I'll kill your [expletive] ass. You remember that!"
