Who's Hot Who's Not

WHO'S Hot

Mosses
Bill Belichick is gettin' Randy! Pats coach says he has "a lot of respect" for newly acquired—and rather, um, tempestuous—receiver Randy Moss , who in turn says he's "in awe" to be headed to title-contending New England . At the same time, former Florida pass rusher Jarvis Moss is feeling the love in Denver , which traded up four spots to take him at No. 17 in the NFL draft.

Laila Ali
Her fianc�, ex-NFL receiver Curtis Conway , must be proud. As a boxer she's 24--0. As a rug cutter she was one of the final six contestants on Dancing with the Stars . And as a looker? She landed a spot among PEOPLE's 100 Most Beautiful.

Cain and Maine
A pair of aces? While the Giants ' 22-year-old Matt Cain (left) had held foes to a .109 batting average through Sunday and was being hailed as the NL's best young pitcher—"He has a chance to be real special," said his manager, Bruce Bochy—Mets righty John Maine , 25, opened 4--0 with a 1.35 ERA.

Forces
The Georgia Force had raced to 8--1 in the AFL, and there was no stopping the Forces of Funny Car fame. After 24-year-old driver Ashley Force won a race at the Southern nationals by beating a 14-time champ—her dad, John—the elder Force said, "I'm O.K. with it because she's my baby."

WHO'S Not

Yankees
Is Joe Torre (left) getting antsy yet? The Yanks (9--14 through Sunday) had lost five of six to the rival Red Sox , their pitching staff was racked by injuries and ineffectiveness (5.02 ERA), and even mighty A-Rod (no RBIs in five games) had cooled off. Boss Steinbrenner (above), who says the results are "not acceptable," stood by Torre . But how long can he (and Yankees fans) take it?

Michael Vick
Some five dozen pit bulls, allegedly part of a dog-fighting ring, were found on Surry County, Va., property owned by the Falcons ' QB. He may have nothing to do with it—a nephew reportedly lives there, and Vick says, "I'm never at the house"—but he's facing the wrath of PETA , which wants him suspended.

Dwyane
The bottom line in Wade's world? Last year: 16 playoff wins. This year: 0. Six weeks after dislocating his left shoulder, the superstar guard couldn't carry the Heat or raise his game (he shot 43% in the Bulls' four-game sweep). Said Wade, "This was the opposite of a storybook-written year."

Yosts
Two days after Brewers hot-hitting minor leaguer Ned Yost IV banged up his shoulder body surfing in Florida—and got a talking-to from his dad, Brewers manager Ned Yost III—his father tripped and broke his collarbone. Said the elder Yost , "I felt like an idiot."
