We ring out the old and ring in the new tonight. Think you were paying attention over the last 12 months? Prove it by taking Jim Caple's multiple-choice quiz. Wondering about the New Year's resolutions of the rich and famous? Check out Illegal Motion. Finally, Steve Woodward sums up 2003 -- in verse, no less.

Metrosexual Makeovers Gods and Goalposts
What can an ex-linebacker like Matt Millen learn from a Renaissance man like David Beckham? You'd be surprised. Page 2's Ted Kluck draws up a road map to sensitivity with his Metrosexual Makeovers.
 Too bad they've already made "Angels in the Endzone," because Brett Favre's last two games make a hell of a plot line. Page 2's Eric Neel looks at the otherworldly influences at work in the first round of the NFL playoffs.

THE DAILY QUICKIE
The Daily Quickie is green with envy over how good it is to be Steve Spurrier these days, now that he can sit back and let the college offers roll in. Plus, a hangover cure with a Leak, and Bowls Gone Wild!


What better way to top off 2003 than with a list of . . . well, lists. Here are our favorites from a Page 2 year chock-full of bests, worsts, and in-betweens, along with some occasional second thoughts..
10]  Worst Cases of Foot-in-mouth Disease
Oops. Did I say that out loud? Yep, people like Al Campanis (to Ted Koppel), Bobby Knight (to Connie Chung) and Marge Schott (to just about everybody) really did.
9]  100 Greatest Home Runs of All Time
Where does Big Mac's 62nd dinger rank? How 'bout the 'Shot Heard Round the World'? Fisk in the '75 World Series? And can any of those top Maz's 1960 Series-ender?
8]  Gutsiest Calls in Sports
Oklahoma's Bob Stoops and the Texans' Dom Capers made some nail-biters early in the football season. But did they measure up to Dr. Tom Osborne's 1984 Orange Bowl call?

Take It To The Bank . . .
O, crystal ball, what say ye for 2004?

"Three things are abundantly clear," sayeth the ball. "One, predictions column are a very lame gimmick for New Year's. Two, the members of the Writers' Bloc couldn't resist this very lame gimmick as they forecast what '04 will hold for Jacko, Kobe, Lance, the Sox, the Yanks and many others."

And the third guarantee, o, all-knowing ball?

"Sports Guy will pick the Pats to win Super Bowl XXXVIII."
