...Chug it! Chug it!). The '80s-disco decor and the manic enthusiasm of the crowd at Top Dandy, one of the most popular host clubs in Kabukicho, could make you wonder whether Japan's bubble ever really burst. The clients are entertained by 50 hosts, most sporting an identical Rod Stewart-inspired hairdo. "Quite slow today," says Nobutora, No. 1 host at Top Dandy, the best-looking guy on their 'otoko' menu of male hosts. In less than an hour, there have been three "champagne calls" (when a customer buys a bottle of champagne, hosts gather around the table...
...While A-Rod and Kobe soil their sports, Brady and Manning have dominated football's spotlight for all the right reasons. Their Sunday tilt is being billed Super Bowl XLII and a half, and for once it doesn't feel like hype. No two undefeated teams have met this late in the season (the Pats are 8-0, Colts 7-0), and the game will likely determine which team gets the crucial home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs (where the two could very likely meet again in the AFC Championship Game).

Could the Chicago Cubs really offer him an ownership stake in that team? Will the Yankees, who said they wouldn't negotiate with Rodriguez if he became a free agent, go back on their word and throw themselves into the A-Rod...

But few would deny that the high-spending Yanks, who were prepared to offer him a $230 million, eight-year deal, give A-Rod a better chance of winning a World Series, every year, than any other franchise on the planet...
...think A-Rod is full of it? Next to Bryant, he's an angel. Like Rodriguez, the Los Angeles Laker guard stops you in your tracks when he's on TV. The twisting layups, fadeaway jumpers - he's simply Jordan-esque. So it's a shame he makes it practically impossible to focus on and fully appreciate his athletic prowess. Here's a guy who might have won five or more titles by now if he could just share the spotlight - and the ball. But back in 2004, he pushed Shaquille O'Neal out of Tinseltown...
