Best
1. UC football: Kudos for selling out on Fireworks weekend, even if it is because of Purdue fans.
2. Bronx Little League pitcher Danny Almonte: His dominance has helped the event's viewership on the ESPN networks increase 128 percent from last season.
3. Ken Griffey Jr.: His return to form ensures us there will be something exciting to watch at Cinergy next year, a run for 500 home runs — assuming there is no strike or lockout.
4. LaDainian Tomlinson: Thanks for signing when you did, allowing the Bengals another chance to be a national punchline by having the last remaining No. 1 holdout.
5. NASCAR: Good move to put “black boxes” in the cars. Let's hope that's not the only thing that comes from Dale Earnhardt's death.

| Worst
1. Louisville: How bad is it when you get the opener of the entire college football season and nobody cares?
2. The Reds: They knew they couldn't sign Jeremy Sowers, but they picked him anyway. Who do they think are they, the Bengals?
3. Justin Smith: Who does he think he is, Jeremy Sowers?
4. Jeff Kent: Not a cool move sniping at Giants teammate Barry Bonds in Sports Illustrated. After all, it was Bonds' getting on base so many times in 2000 that helped Kent win MVP.
5. NASCAR: Six months after the fact, Dale Earnhardt's death is still a subject of questions and finger-pointing. Can't the man just rest in peace?
