So who gets Katie Holmes

SI.com - Writers - Snap Judgments (cont.) - Sunday January 22, 2006 10:20PM: "I'm not big on Plummer's 'Grizzly Adams'' look, but at least he's capable of beard that looks like he was just rescued after being lost in the Rocky Mountain wilds for 43 days. Roethlisberger on the other hand has a scraggly, Kyle Orton-esque collection of facial hair that adds up to something considerably less than full coverage. So, Plummer won the battle of the whiskers but lost the war."

I'm not sure if this is a compliment or an insult.

ESPN.com: Page 2 : My readers and my picks: "Q: Mariah Carey observation: Now that she is relevant again and all over MTV and the recent awards shows, have you noticed that she is turning into Stiffler's Mom?
-- Mike D., Baltimore

SG: I can't tell if that was more insulting to Mariah Carey or Stifler's Mom. By the way, I don't care how much weight she gains -- I still dig Mariah Carey. And I don't think I'm alone. She's a woman. Make no mistake about it. She's all woman. And the fact that every other woman hates the fact that guys dig Mariah Carey makes it even better. Just think, if Brad Pitt had dumped Jennifer Aniston for Mariah instead of Angelina, it would have potentially caused a riot -- he would have been blackballed by the entire female population. Not one of them would have forgave him. Poor Brad would have been the Hollywood version of O.J. But not only do women understand Angelina's appeal, many of them would probably make out with her if they were drunk enough. That's why this whole thing was somehow OK -- women don't like Angelina, they don't trust her, but they can't totally blame Pitt for what happened. And again, this is why Angelina Jolie should be the president in 2008. Nobody can resist her."

ESPN.com: Page 2 : Hey Peyton, need some help?: "The NFL should be embarrassed about the quality of the officiating this weekend. How were those guys supposedjavascript:void(0);
Publish Post to be the best crews in the league? And more importantly, where was my main man Eddie Hocks (that's the name we call him at the gym, but it's 'Ed Hochuli' to those of you not so blessed in matters bicep)? Somewhere this weekend he was pumping iron, preparing to put the smackdown on every referee who blew a call and sullied the reputation of NFL referees. It will be ugly, and he will show no mercy."
