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.
