Page 2's Power Poll dares to rate the teams that are currently wielding the most power in the entire sports universe.

Each week, our poll will rank the 10 teams at the top of the power heap -- and the five teams that have lost the most power in the past week. And, by the way, Page 2 uses its own definition for a "team" -- any group of two or more bonded together for the common purpose.

Our Momentum Meter also predicts the direction these teams will be heading in future weeks (see the bottom of the page for a full explanation).

If you've got anything to say about our Top 10 or our Bottom 5, click here to comment -- or forever hold your peace.

TEAM		PAGE 2 SAYS	MO' METER
1. The legend that is Lance Armstrong		Four straight Tour de France titles down, one more to tie the all-time record.
2. Traditional baseball powers		Eventually in baseball, the cream rises to the top, especially if payroll is no object. The Braves have the best record in the game (67-38), along with an insurmountable NL East lead. The Yanks are close behind (66-38), and, despite mediocre starting pitching so far, they're leaving the Red Sox in the dust.
3. The NFL		It's baaaack! Who cares if there's a baseball strike?
4. Allen Iverson Inc.		No jail time ... and his street cred and shoe deal are intact. Does it get any better than that?
5. Anaheim Angels		After a very slow start, they've caught the mighty M's and share the AL West lead. Who are these guys? Mike Scioscia for commissioner.
6. L.A. Clippers		For the first time in human memory, the Paper Clips pull off a trade (Darius Miles for Andre Miller) that actually makes sense. Somebody must have pulled a reverse Ted Williams (the big un-freeze) on Elgin Baylor's brain.
7. Scott Rolen and his ticket to ride		On the whole, he'd rather not be in Philadelphia.
8. Minnesota Twins		We don't know about the team, but one thing that ain't contractin' is their monstrous 14-game lead in the AL Central, especially with the White Sox and Indians trying to trade away everybody making more than $10 an hour.
9. Baseball peace in our time		OK, we're looking at the whole thing through rose-colored glasses. But at least they're talking ... and pretty much every day, at that.
10. Ozzie Smith's induction speech		Either he was brilliant ... or incoherently rambling. As always, Page 2 chooses to take the high road.

5. Milwaukee Brewers		Worst team in the NL (38-67), and last year they were the most profitable. Is there something wrong with this picture, Bud, or is it just us?
4. The fading legend that is Andre Agassi		When you get more pub for being fined ($80,000 for pulling out of this week's Tennis Masters Series event in Toronto) then for winning (the Mercedes-Benz Cup title in LA Sunday), you know you're heading south.
3. Umpire cool		Upset that MLB is using a computer system to track strike calls, the umpire union has hired physicists and engineers to check the accuracy of QuesTec. Boys, here's an idea that will solve all your problems: Make better calls ... and remember that the fans come to see the players, not you.
2. Philadelphia Phillies		Let's see ... they got a utility man, a guy who couldn't crack the Cards' starting rotation and a bullpen stiff for a perennial All-Star. This after the Curt Schilling ripoff. In Page 2's humble opinion, what's wrong with baseball is a team from the largest single-team market in the country acting like a small-market organization.
1. Boxing		OK, where were we now? Oh, yeah, a 52-year-old man beats a ... Butterbean ... then announces his retirement. Again. Then a potential heavyweight title contender is disqualified for hitting below the belt at least four times in a single fight. Hey, if boxing isn't careful, it could damage its reputation.
