What's hot, not for the week
By Dan Shanoff
Page 2 columnist

Determining the point when something cool becomes passé is a trend-watcher's dream -- but sometimes a tough call. But in this age of "What's Next?", I think it's fair to say that the Iverson-Brown feud is a done issue (until AI gets traded) and dumping on Griffey implies that there's no other prominent athletes to dump on.

The mission of the "What's Hot, What's Not" list is to give you emerging -- and different -- talking points for your office coffee break, after-work bar-hopping or dating scene. Spread the love:
