Bad news: The Jets and Broncos won.

This week's games, who to root for, and why, after the jump.

Look, we started off in a big hole by starting off the season 0-6.  Even if the Titans win out, they ned some help if they want to have any chance of making the playoffs.

So here are the games this week with an impact on our playoff chances, with who we shoot be rooting for and why:

Nashville's Channel 5 just reported that David Givens is suing the Titans for $25 million.

The suit apparently alleges that the Titans knew about the problems with his knee before he blew it out; that preventative surgery would have fixed the problem; that the team did not inform him of the problem; and that the knee injury ended his career.

If true, this is major news.

[UPDATE from Jimmy]- Thanks to smash for the link.

No, really, that's what he says...

How many times can YOU read this article without snickering with quotes like this:

“He can provide a big back for us,” head coach Gary Kubiak said. “Steve’s a smaller guy. We need somebody who can do a little more pounding, red zone, short yardage, those types of things.

Pounding, short-yardage back?  The official roster lists Brown as only 19 pounds heavier than Slaton, while also being 6 inches taller.

I'm sorry, I just saw this posted over at Music City Miracles and just had to share it. 

This has nothing to do with football, but it does touch on Tennessee, and I'm sure we can all relate.

The absolutely fabulous Bettie Page died last night.

Yes, she was from Nashville, and even attended the same high school I did: Hume-Fogg. 

Probably our most famous graduate.

It's a sad, sad day...

And in other news, I have to add a bunch of words in order to make the 75 word minimum. 

I've been discussing this with some of the guys over on Battle Red Blog this week, and I thought I would mention it over here, since it hasn't been yet:

The Titans (read: Bud Adams) are considering wearing Oilers jerseys for one game next year.

I personally think it's a horrible idea, because I don't believe that any of that history belongs to this team, it belongs to the people of Houston.

But I understand that Bud Adams is a dick who likes ticking the people of Houston off.  Actually, given that, I'm somewhat surprised he doesn't want to wear the Oilers jerseys against the Texans. 

Instead, he wants to wear them against the "original" Titans - the New York Jets, who would also be wearing throwbacks in the same game.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

So I noticed that the Cards played in their black uniforms tonight.

Was that planned in advance, or was the "blackout" uniform a nod to the fact that major portions of the city are still without power?

Just curious; I don't live in Louisville, so I don't usually get word on things like what uniform the team is planning on wearing for any given game.'

This sentence is here because I need more words to post this question.
