Best
1. Selection Sunday: It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's Christmas in March! It's the best thing ever!
2. Corey Dillon. The Corey Dillon Foundation is just a good idea, not to mention a good way for the at-times-beleaguered running back to make nice with this city. A little positive spin never hurt anyone.
3. The Ivy League: It may not have a conference tournament, but a three-way tie among Yale, Penn and Princeton for first place forced a mini-playoff anyway — and made people actually care about who would win.
4. Pete Harnisch: He may not be a Red any more, but it's good to see him back on the mound this spring, getting healthy again.
5. Allen Iverson. It's hard to pay attention to the NBA until, oh, June, but The Answer scoring 40 points four times in five games is worth a mention.

| Worst
1. The Bengals: Free agents keep coming — and promptly leaving. There's really no point to bringing in guys just so you can say you brought them in.
2. The Bengals: And another thing! We're being given ultimatums by a place-kicker? Is there no end to the indignity?
3. Big East pretenders: Boston College, Syracuse, Georgetown — GONE! Aren't you just about salivating over the possibility of your NCAA bracket being declared a Boeheim-free zone?
4. Jim Harrick. Yeah, yeah, Georgia's SEC Tournament loss to LSU won't keep the Bulldogs out of the NCAAs. But it's just lovely to see karma start working its magic in March.
5. Tubby Smith. Not playing Gerald Fitch is basically throwing in the towel. The UK tradition deserves better, and the fans deserve an explanation. It's time to move on, Orlando.
