Witness Keyshawn Johnson and Warren Sapp, who are better known for their mouths than their football skills. They're both pulling in big-star money because the league sees them as stars, despite strong evidence to the contrary.
In 2004 music circles, the story of the year has been the explosion of "screamo," with bands like Taking Back Sunday, the Used and Coheed and Cambria (the Mario, Luigi and Toadstool of emo, respectively) taking a big bite out of corporate rock radio.
