FRIDAY 3/17

In Theaters: Game 6
Last year's Fever Pitch captured the thrill of victory for Red Sox fans. Game 6 should remind them of the agony of defeat. Michael Keaton stars as a New York playwright who is struggling to put on a good show in front of Broadway's most notorious theater critic--while trying to find time to watch his beloved Red Sox play the Mets in the 1986 World Series.

SATURDAY 3/18

Twelve Hours of Sebring
Patrick Dempsey is taking this grand marshall stuff seriously. The Grey's Anatomy star (below) will get behind the wheel and compete in the Panoz GT Series race at Sebring on Friday before fulfilling his ceremonial duties at Saturday's half-day endurance race. That event will feature the debut of Audi 's new R10 turbo diesel, which is expected to dominate the race. Speed Channel 10:30 a.m.

SATURDAY 3/18
SI PICK OF THE WEEK

The Honeymoon Is Over

Maybe Hasim Rahman was auditioning for Wedding Crashers II. On the eve of James Toney 's December nuptials in Cancun , Rahman (left) disrupted a TV interview with the former WBA heavyweight champ, leading to a brawl in the lobby of a posh resort. (They were attending an awards ceremony there.) "He tried to slap me," said Toney (right). "But he missed and scratched me like a woman." Tonight they'll settle their differences--hopefully like men. Rahman is making his first defense of the WBC belt he was awarded after Vitali Klitschko retired in November. HBO 10 p.m.

SUNDAY 3/19

One2One
Duke guard J.J. Redick (below) has been called arrogant and whiny--but is he also a sex symbol? Redick 's status as an eligible bachelor is one of the many topics tackled in this wide-ranging interview that probes the mind of the most reviled, and quite possibly the best, college basketball player in the country. CSTV 8:30 p.m.

Lakers at Cavaliers
How good is LeBron James ? Good enough to make Kobe Bryant look positively one-dimensional. Sure, the Lakers guard is threatening to run away and hide with the NBA scoring title; his average of 35.2 points is almost two points better than Allen Iverson 's. But King James is leading Cleveland in scoring (30.5 per game) and assists (6.7) and is third in rebounding (7.0), giving him a chance to become the first player since Michael Jordan in 1989-90 to average 30-7-7. ABC 1 p.m.
