Peyton rocks. Roger wins. Tiger wins. Ho-hum.

Good week to be the world's No. 1 player in any sport. Peyton dominates in the Colts' first game of the season.

Tiger Woods shot another freakin' 63 to win the BMW Championship and put him in the driver's seat (get it?) of the FedEx Cup Playoff Championship PGA Tour Thingie.

And - surprise surprise! - Roger Federer won the U.S. Open in straight sets.

I only watched about half of the match today, but I've seen enough of Roger over the past two weeks - and past couple years - to know that he's, um, good. It's truly an honor to be watching the best tennis player ever in his prime.

And that's why I love watching sports. It's incredible to think that mere mortals like myself can throw 50-yard bombs to Marvin Harrison, sink 30-foot par putts or smack forehand winners against a 20-year-old Serbian phenom. I could never do those things, so I do the next best thing: Watch guys who can do them on ESPN.

Which brings us to today's post. Here are my 10 favorite things to watch in all of sports.

10. Jose Reyes at shortstop. His defense is out of this world. No grounder is too tough for him to handle...and he makes them all look routine. A joy to watch.

9. LaDainian Tomlinson in an open field. His cuts are like ballet - or Barry Sanders. He can stiff-arm when he needs to, and he can outrun an entire field. It feels like poetry in motion when LDT's offensive line gives him space and lets him do his thing.

8. LeBron James with the ball. Something good is going to happen when BronBron has the rock. He can shoot a textbook-perfect jumper...or make a Magic Johnson-esque no-look pass...or slash to the basket and finish with his tomahawk slam. The mystery of wondering what he'll do is half of his allure. The other half? His talent.

7. Greg Maddux's ball control. I don't care if he's 41 or 21; the man can throw. He has pinpoint ball control and always hits his catcher's target. That could be why he has four Cy Young Awards.

6. Roger Federer's trickery. Roger can win so many different ways. Aces. Forehands. Backhands. Whatever. But he's the funnest to watch when he's making crazy trick shots - like the dropshots he hit against Novak or the lobs he hit against Roddick. It's a thing of beauty to see.

5. Marvin Harrison's concentration. And so begins my Colts bias. He's made so many circus catches in his career, and they all look routine. My favorites? The diving, one-handed grab in 2003 against the Titans and the juggling snag against the Patriots in the regular season game last year. You'd need an hour-long SportsCenter special to showcase them all.

4. Rafael Nadal's energy. I can't even describe why he's fun to watch...but he is. Rafa runs down every stray ball and covers the court better than anyone else in the game. His lefty serve has so much powerful, and his forehands are out of this world. I didn't love tennis until I started watching this guy play.

3. Tiger Woods' mental game. If I had to pick one part of his game, I'd go with Tiger's mind. He wills himself to make putts - like the 35-foot par save on 12 during the PGA Championship, or the 63 he shot today to all but seal his FedEx Cup title. It's also fun to watch him screw with other people's minds. Before the last day of the PGA Championship, Ernie Els said the tournament was already over because Tiger was in the lead. By the way, Els was only a few shots off the lead at the time...

2. Dwyane Wade being Dwayne Wade. His energy level is on par with Nadal's. His jumper is better than LeBron's. His defense is the best (for a guard) in the game. His ball-handling skills are the best for a pure point guard ever. And when he's on...he's on. My Pacers found that out the hard way in April when he exploded with two thunderous dunks in the fourth quarter to bury the boys from Indiana.

1. Peyton controlling the offense. Not only does he make perfect throws. Not only does he know how to find the open receiver. Not only does he know how to school defenses by staring down the wrong receiver. But he calls all of the plays at the line! Besides being the best passer in the game, he's also the smartest player and the best offensive coordinator in the league. I never get tired of watching him perform. I shake my head after every game and thank my lucky stars that I have the chance to watch one of the all-time greats at his best for 16+ Sundays a year.
