It’s Monday. You know how we roll.

From the “Talks too much” studios, tick tock. It’s getting close.

Weekend winners

Under Armour. Pretty good year for the sports gear company. If you had to have a short list of the male athlete of the year so far, Steph Curry, Tom Brady and Jordan Spieth would be on there. All three are UA spokesmen and will be in the upcoming commercials. The numbers in that story about UA’s growth – five years ago, Nike did 19 times UA’s business; this year, it’s only eight times as much – is pretty impressive.

The Titans. This has nothing to do with the result of Sunday night’s preseason game. This has more to do with the impressive play at quarterback – both Marcus Mariota and Zach Mettenberger as TFP ace columnist Mark Wiedmer details here – and general excitement. Also of note, Dorial Green-Beckham looked like the real deal last night.
