When does retro go too far? When Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fischer is roaming the sidelines sporting a Houston Oilers shirt. Who can be happy with that? Surely nobody in Houston or Tennessee. And speaking of the Titans, wonder how they're feeling about Kerry Collins contract now? He closed the 24-17 loss to the New York Jets with 13 straight incompletions for the now 0-3 Titans, who lost four all of last year. As for the Jets QB Mark Sanchez, that "Dirty" mustache isn't going to rid him of that moniker, but a 3-0 start sure looks good.The San Francisco Giants have scored 2 or fewer runs 56 times this year, including twice this past weekend. That level of futility will keep you out of the playoffs even with some stellar starting pitchers.
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson may be done with UFC, but he's not done talking junk about Rashad Evans, saying he'd be glad to fight him anytime, anywhere. Apparently he forgot he was to do that for a healthy sum at UFC 107 in his home town no less.
Tonight, the Dallas Cowboys will be looking for their first home win at their new palace when the Carolina Panthers visit. Also firsts they'll be looking for: first sack and first turnover of the year, and with Jake Delhomme in, you have to figure there are some of both in the offing.
The New York Yankees swept the Boston Red Sox to even the season series at 9-9 and clinch the AL East with their 100th win of the season. Not bad after opening 0-8 to Boston and struggling in April. Andy Pettite won his 14th, the 12th time in his career he's won 14 or more.
Good of the Toronto Star to declare this hockey week at the Star. Question: when is it not hockey week at the Star?
Terrell Owens got wind of former New England Patriot Rodney Harrison calling him a clown and fired back with a hell of a salvo about needing Harrison to ship him some of the steroids he was using while he was still playing. Well, done, T.O., now if you could just produce on the field as well. Guess you need a more than average QB for that to happen. How exactly did the Bills not win that game yesterday?
What is shorter than New Orleans Saint Reggie Bush? His NFL hilite reel.
A pair of tickets for sale to the Phoenix Coyotes opener this week - $600 face value for the pair - had all of two offers. One for $15, total. Another for $60. If Gary Bettman has any sense at all, he gets that team out of Glendale and now, they could quite well be playing to crowds in the hundreds. Literally.
Word is the Chicago White Sox and Cubs may flip pitchers, with Jake Peavy off to the Cubs and Carlos Zambrano to the Sox. If you're the Sox, why would you do that move when you've already got one lazy, underachieving player with a bloated contract and bad attitude in Alex Rios?
Have a great Monday.

Just heard that Gareth Bale got reason to celebrate the 5-0 victory this weekend even more than his team mates. In his two year stint with the Spurs this was the first game he's played in (start or sub) were Tottenham have actually won(!), though he was subbed on at 4-0 so hardly instrumental in that win.
(League game that is)
Latest T.O. gem:
"Since I kno the media reads my tweets, will sum1 ask rodney how long the cycles take b4 I feel results of the steroids whn he sends em?"
