Pictured here is the last game that the Tennessee Titans won, all the way back in December 2008. This was the same game, mind you, that was to decide who was the likely top seed in the AFC playoffs, not to mention being a grudge match from way back. The Titans and the Steelers used to share a division, and games between the two franchises have always been aáknock-down drag-out affair. ...

Well, another week of professional football is in the books, and like the first three weeks it did not disappoint. We learned a few things, had our eyes opened about a few things, and shook our heads on a regular basis. All part-and-parceláof what is becoming one of the more memorable NFL seasons in recent memory. The format has changed a little this week. I am combining another series, the Albert Haynesworth ...

(Author's note: Kudos to my friend Richard Rogers for the title. I am no where NEAR that creative on my own.) Uninspired. Lackadaisical. Confused. Out of touch. Unable to communicate. Lost. Deflated. All of the above terms have been used in recent weeks to describe the mounting disaster comingáout of Nashville, Tennessee. And all of them point to a central question: Whatáin the world is wrong with the Tennessee Titans? The team with the best regular season record in 2008, ...

That's how Titans running back Chris Johnson ended the line ofáquestioning that asked him what he thought the team's problems were and what it was going to take to get them back on track.á Coming from the one guy on the Titans' sideline who is doing everything he can to help his team succeed, the words above sound a little desperate. Most of his answers were standard fodder for such an occasion: ...

Three down and 13 to go, and oh, how the mighty have fallen. The Tennessee Titans, the same team who opened the 2008 season 10-0 on the way to a league-best 13-3 regular season record, currently share an 0-3 record with the likes of the St. Louis Rams, the Cleveland Browns, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,áthe Kansas City Chiefs, and the Miami Dolphins. Even last years' winless Detroit Lions are one better than ...

Finally we get some action from the big guy. Big Al appeared to have awakened, at least for a few plays, as he was able to wrangle a sack and two solo tackles against the hapless Detroit Lions. Um, wait a minute.... Did I say "Hapless?" I meant to say HAPPY. Yes, folks, despite the efforts of Big Al in the trenches this week, Detroit, led by rookie quarterback Matt Stafford, prevailed over the ...

At least they didn't give up 300 passing yards. That's a small consolation for the Tennessee Titans, who fell to 0-3 after losing to the New York Jets 24-17 in a contest that started off badly and ended even worse. Now in sole possession of last place in the AFC South- Tennessee faces the near impossible task of even making the playoffs- much less making a run at the Super Bowl. Not at ...

Backed up byáa solid running game and rock-solid defense in Week One, he earned his first NFL win against the Houston Texans. Again bolstered by a highly efficient defense in Week Two, he outdueled a still recovering Tom Brady to triumph over the New England Patriots. Folks, know one thing: Mark Sanchez is gonna be goodùreal good. In interviews, he is unflappable. He is also confident, happy to be where he is, aware ...

Well, folks, here we are in Week Two. After a four-game preseason and Week One out of the way, all the rust should now be knocked off and we should be seeing some real action from the big names around the league. And we are seeing a lot of action, although sometimes it isn't coming from who we thought it would. Rookie sensation Mark Sanchise..I mean, Sanchez, out-dueled Tom Brady and the ...

Well football fans, another week is in the books. We only had one game on Monday night, but it was enough to satisfy everyone except Miami Dolphins fans. And yet again, there was plenty to be learned from this week's games. To wit:  Titans running back Chris Johnson is fast. No, make that STUPID fast. In fact, if Chris Johnson had decided to make track and field a career instead of football, Usain ...
