Who's Hot / Who's Not

WHO'S Hot

Chargers

Even in the cold they're sizzling. After the Bolts edged the Bills 24--21 in 30� Buffalo, San Diego linebacker Carlos Polk sang, "The weather outside was frightful/But the game was just delightful." LaDainian Tomlinson ran through the snow for (yawn) 178 yards and two TDs, leading center Nick Hardwick to note, "He's a beast."

Carmelo

Ooh La La! The Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony averaged 33.6 points--including 38 last Saturday--to help Denver win seven of eight, and off the court there's joy, too: He and his fianc�e, La La V�zquez, have a baby on the way, and his C1.5 Extreme Energy Drink just hit stores.

Penguins

Happy Feet, happy skates. That cartoon penguin flick ( Robin Williams called it "Riverdance meets March of the Penguins") is No. 1 at the BO. In Pittsburgh pucksters Sid Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are, respectively, Nos. 1 and 3 in Eastern All-Star voting.

James Andrews

Surgeon to the (sports) stars had a busy week with QBs, 'scoping one of Daunte Culpepper's knees and rebuilding one of Donovan McNabb's. And now for an update on his off-season surgery on Drew Brees's throwing shoulder: Brees is the NFL's top passer.
