Does the Pirates' Randall Simon have an alibi? Is PETA involved? Was it a random crime, or is it connected to the de-tonguing of Harvey the Hound? And what kind of world is it when sausages can't run free of fear? There are so many questions about Wednesday night's disturbance at Miller Park. Page 2's incident report has answers.

The Sports Guy has seen it all before -- the two-a-day fisticuffs, the fantasy drafts, the Bill Parcells weight gain. And yet, like the rest of us, he can't wait for the NFL to get back to work this summer. Join Page 2's Bill Simmons as he lays out what to expect as soon as training camps open.

Lakers' Dream Team Championship Matchup
The Lakers have Gary Payton and they'll probably get Karl Malone. But they're still going to need help. Page 2 sees roster holes that only Bea Arthur and John Travolta can fill.
Here it is, the Final Showdown in Page 2's Most Overrated Person Alive bracket. It's time to choose a champ. Who gets more publicity with less talent? Trista Rehn or Ja Rule? Vote now.

THE DAILY QUICKIE
The Daily Quickie is still waiting for Tom Glavine to fess up about his inability to beat the Braves. Plus, what the wait does to Kobe and the withdrawals do to the home-run derby.


When Kobe Bryant was arrested for an alleged sexual assault, everyone was shocked. But an athlete making shocking headlines off the field is nothing new. So here are the sports world's 10 biggest falls from grace:

10]  George O'Leary
After Notre Dame discovered the lies on O'Leary's résumé, he was shown the door after only a week at his dream job.
9]  Mike Tyson
The man who was the future of boxing became a national punchline with his less than stable behavior.
8]  Ben Johnson
Canada's great Olympic hope in 1988 left humiliated when his 100-meter gold medal was taken away after a positive test for steroids.
