What is going on in Neckessee?

Not a clue what is happening with the Tennessee Titans. It appeared they had settled on coach Jeff Fisher winning the power struggle with QB Vince Young when they announced a few weeks back they'd be looking for another QB to lead the team. Turns out they're looking for another coach too, as the Titans announced they've parted ways with Fisher. ProFootballTalk looks at what it all means, beyond Fisher pocketing $8 million to not coach.  Does Young come back, or does he go to the Minnesota Vikings, as has been mentioned?  Looking like Albert Haynesworth will be able to say he's played for two of the most disfunctional franchises in the NFL. Albert is a stint in Oakland from completing the trifecta.

UFC President Dana White says if Anderson Silva and Georges St Pierre win their next two fights, GSP will move up to 185 pounds to set up perhaps the biggest fight in UFC history, though with the way those two fight on occasion, it might not be the best fight.

If you're watching the NHL All-Star draft tonight, you're a loser.

UFC Heavyweight Roy "Big Country" Nelson has a conspiracy theory in play for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.  He figures that Brock Lesnar is on board to boost ratings - nobody said Nelson couldn't identify the obvious - but adds that Lesnar will walk out half-way through because he's "done"  after first giving his opposing coach and next opponent Junior Dos Santos, the other coach and his next opponent, a lot more profile in the U.S.  He names Shane Carwin and Frank Mir as replacement coaches.  Interesting theory, and with all the "Lesnar wants out" talk, could well play out.  You can start counting down to a "Nelson is an idiot" response from UFC boss Dana White any minute now.

Might Kirk Muller be the next Toronto Maple Leafs coach?  Sure would be an improvement over the arrogant curmudgeon Ron Wilson, no?

Not sure about you, but I'm pretty bumbed I didn't get this t-shirt of New York Ranger Sean Avery under the Christmas tree.  The shirt is actually part of a series to promote awareness of protecting your skin, and also features far better options like Miranda Kerr, Marisa Miller, Miranda Kerr, Heidi Klum, and loads more. Oh,  and Miranda Kerr.

Really dreading this sports weekend, what with the NFL Pro Bowl and the NHL All-Star Game dominating things.  Makes me really anxious to get baseball back on the go.  Fortunately, there is tonnes of soccer to fill the weekend, though the EPL is in on an FA Cup weekend, and maybe some hoops.

With Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal out at the Australian Open, this weekends final will be just the fifth - fifth! - Slam since 2004 that someone else has won. Five out of 29.  The Scottish Premier League thinks that competition has been one sided.

I'm sure the NHL will be thrilled to go into its All-Star Weekend with rumors floating that the $100-million sale of the Phoenix Coyotes is about to fall through.  Wind up Gary Bettman and watch him spin.

The Oakland A's have unveiled a third jersey, and it is gold, or at least gold coloured.

Chelsea have put in a bid on Fernando Torres of Liverpool this week with the transfer window closing at the end of the month.  Liverpool said thanks, but no thanks.  If half the rumors are true, Chelsea is chasing every above average striker in the world.  Guess they forgot their central defence is super soft.

First Memphis Grizzly OJ Mayo gets his face caved in on a team charter after not paying a gambling debt, and then weeks later he fails a drug test, testing positive for steroids.  He's on the sidelines for 10 games as a result.

Back Monday folks, have a great weekend.

NBA pre-game, a live mic...and Tracey Morgan giving his thoughts on Sarah Palin.

So it wasn't all just Jeff Fisher's fault that Young was ousted in Tennessee?!? I guess everybody knows that he sucks.

I'm a long-time Captain Kirk guy. LOVED that dude.

I've heard from a few in-the-know people that Kirk, as a dude, was and is prick personified.

(He played junior here.)
