Who's Hot / Who's Not

Texans Defense

Houston is giving up an AFC-worst 29.4 points a game and during Sunday's 34--6 loss to Dallas ("At the half [up 6--3] I felt sure we were going to win," said end Anthony Weaver to the Houston Chronicle) their season got truly painful: tackle Seth Payne (right) tore his right ACL and is out for the year. Next? The potent Jaguars.

Mike Williams

Lions' receiver can't get off the ground. The 2005 first-round pick was benched for the fourth time in six games. He's no longer overweight and no longer tardy--traits that got him fined last year--he's just not making catches. Said Kitna when asked about Williams, "I don't want to talk about that."

John McEnroe

Dude--you cannot be serious! The 47-year-old tennis great, competing in Stockholm, got swept from the second round of the doubles bracket. Later Mac (left) went on a trademark attack, blasting the umpire for a call he said was "disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful."

Brawling Hurricanes

Beyond Miami: Carolina Hurricanes teammates Kevyn Adams and Bret Hedican fought in practice; five days later, winger Trevor Letowski was laid out (and concussed) by a hit in Pittsburgh.
