Who's Hot / Who's Not

Who's Hot

Bears

Rex may sound like a dog--but he doesn't play like one. QB Grossman (right) had a four-TD day that helped Chicago (2-0) dominate the Lions (and WR Roy Williams, who'd guaranteed a win). TE Desmond Clark to Chicago's Daily Herald: "We have a good shot to win every game."

Vince Young

Sure, he's still learning, but the lame Titans march when Young's at the helm--he capped a drive with his first TD pass on Sunday--and rumors fly that Tennessee will deal his rival, Billy Volek. Plus, the reality show Next Level: Vince Young begins next month on BET.

San Diego

Fun in the sun! The Chargers, led by sackmaster Shawne Merriman (nickname: Lights Out!), are 2-0. The Padres, winners of 10 of 14 through Sunday, are closing in on a playoff berth.

Rocks

The Redskins' Rock Cartwright returned a kickoff 100 yards for a TD, while Gridiron Gang, a movie about a football team made up of young hoodlums (no, not the Bengals) and starring The Rock (right), debuted at No. 1.

Who's Not

Browns

Before last Sunday's game with rival Cincy, coach Romeo Crennel called his team "lowly." He knows his personnel. Three turnovers (all by QB Charlie Frye, above) and inept defense led to a shellacking. Observed tackle Ryan Tucker of 0-2 Cleveland, "We've got a long way to go."
