Eight of the Jets' 12 losses have come by seven points or fewer. Too many of them have followed the script of Sunday's 10-6 defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. Jets fans have to be sick of a banged-up team not expressing confidence in its quarterback -- Chad Pennington wasn't named the starter but played over Kellen Clemens and his sore ribs -- and then going out there and laying an offensive egg. Without his most dynamic playmaker (Laveranues Coles is on injured reserve), Pennington still found a way to complete 81 percent of his passes and throw for 264 yards.

Back in July, it was announced that professional lacrosse had come to NYC and that the team would need a new name. So, the new name was announced: The New York Titans. And, boy, does that sounds good...for Tennessee! Now, the Tennessee Titans don't have a deathlock on the word Titan, but how unoriginal was the NY Empire Lacrosse management to choose a write-in name like that? At least "Tennessee Titans" has alliteration. Anyway, NY Titans president George Daniel said, "The overwhelming choice of the fans is Titans. The image of New York is one of power. The name Titans captures that." Whatever - it's still lame.
