...Emmitt Smith, the league's all-time leading rusher--for now. Tomlinson is the best ever, gushes Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer. That means better than Red Grange, Jim Brown, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. Heck, Tomlinson even completed two of his three passes--both for touchdowns--and is a garish seven out of 10, with six TD tosses, in his career. With the dazzling runs, sure hands and strong arm, LT, as he is known, has created the ultimate matchup problem.

...hilarious—Finn plays a TV news anchorman unable to land an interview with his uninterested paramour—but it’s also heartbreaking, since every other member of the band gets with the girl. It’s 70s, with the square-frame glasses and garish striped ties, but the boys wear ’em with irony suitable for the oughts. The song rocks hard—but there’s Finn’s nasal speech-singing drone squarely in the middle of the mix. The video, too, is stripped bare. No special...
