Dan Cloutier, Tampa Bay
Lightning
Yes, it's not yet October, but the NHL season is ready to
start. Cloutier, the Tampa Bay goalie, is a favorite of
several of our readers.
He's
got pieces of his equipment hanging all over.

Joe Oliver, Seattle Mariners
There's nothing like the pressure of a pennant race. After
Thursday, Seattle still led Oakland by only a half-game.
I
can't believe we lost

Andres Galarraga, Atlanta
Braves
The Big Cat was seriously ill and out of baseball a year
ago. Tuesday, he helped the Braves celebrate another division
title.

Keyshawn Johnson and Curtis
Martin, NFL
Johnson and Martin were teammates until the former was
traded this season. Even after their teams met Sunday the two
remained friends.

A Badger Can't Catch a Wildcat
In maybe the best college football game of the season,
unheralded Northwestern went into Madison and stunned 7th
ranked Wisconsin, 47-44, in double overtime.

Brady Anderson, Baltimore
Orioles
We appreciate this link from a reader who says: ``Something
to look forward to in the off-season! -- Brady takes part
every year in a charity tennis match. This is from last
year.''

Bobby Estalella, San Francisco
Giants
A reader was at Wednesday's Giants-Reds game, took these
pictures and wanted to share them with you. We'll be seeing a
lot of Bobby in the postseason as the Giants won the NL West
on Thursday.

Jim Edmonds, St. Louis
Cardinals
Edmonds has been an awesome pickup for the Redbirds and
his grand slam helped clinch the National League Central crown
on Wednesday.

Bobby Howry, Chicago White Sox
We don't know why Howry looks like he could use a hug in
this shot. He didn't pitch Monday and his White Sox are
heading to the playoffs.

Ah, higher education, where they can teach you to spell
your university's name, even if it's only three letters.

Thaddeus Farmer, left, and Matt
Farrior, Florida Gators
Florida went into Knoxville and stunned Tennessee, 27-23,
in college football Saturday. The winning Gator TD was highly
controversial as receiver Jabbar Gaffney dropped the ball, but
not until after officials ruled he held it long enough in the
end zone for a score. Rocky Top is more like Flat Top
tonight. This photo is a link from the Gainesville (Fla.) Sun.

Marat Safin, U.S. Open Tennis

At only 20, the hard-hitting, yet easy-on-the-eyes Russian
swept Pete Sampras to win the title on Sunday.

Josh Jakubowski, Wisconsin
football
The last name and the size scream out offensive lineman:
6-6, 331. The Badgers' O-Line did pretty well Saturday in a
27-23 win over Oregon: 302 yards rushing, including 290 by
Michael Bennett.

J.T. Snow, San Francisco Giants
The Giants have been a huge surprise and now have the best
record in the National League. One reason is J.T. Snow, who a
reader, Marc,
calls simply ``the best first baseman in baseball."

Pascal Dobert, Mark Croghan,
Runners
Dobert (#247) and Croghan will both compete in the
Olympics in the steeplechase for the U.S. The steeplechase is
a somewhat odd event, where you must cross hurdles, including
some filled with water. We thought this shot, linked from
Runner's World, was pretty cool.

A Couple of Aussies in the
Shower
You'd NEVER see this kind of a picture after the Super Bowl.
We're too uptight. But Steve Alessio and John Barner of
Essendon, the champs of the Australian Football League are a
couple of blokes who needed a shower--together--after winning
the title. From the official AFL Web site.

Guys With a Cup Strategically Placed (Editor's

Brian Griese, Denver Broncos
Griese had a great game at quarterback in the Monday Night
opener, a 41-36 loss to St. Louis. Griese scored on a 9-yard
bootleg, which got him a free ride from teammate Desmond
Clark.

Magnus Norman, Tennis
Norman, the No. 3 seed at the U.S. Open won an epic Sunday
over Max Mirnyi of Belarus in a fifth-set tiebreak. He
survived four match points in a match that lasted more than
four hours at the U.S. Open.

Hayden Moore, Tennessee

Moore, a redshirt freshman, had a sideline view at the
Vols opened the 2000 season by getting by Southern
Mississippi, 19-16. But Moore was front and center at a recent
media day.

Australian Rules Football
A reader posted a reminder on our message board of the
Australian Rules Football final Saturday featuring his
Essendon Bombers and Melbourne. We found a shot from
Realfooty.com this season where a player may have grabbed too
much.

These are two pretty cool shots of the Stanford swim team.
One is a team portrait, the other is of the team flexing after
a workout. Thanks to a reader for the latter link.
