Weekend winners
< The Tennessee Titans. Here's TFP ace sports columnist Mark Wiedmer with another great view on the Titans who notched a monster win Sunday to stay tied with the Texans atop the AFC South.
< Army. How about those apples, right? After a 14-year losing streak in the nation's most patriotic rivalry, Army used a power running game to topple Navy on Saturday. Cool game, day and event.
< Auburn. The Tigers offense was at times downright hard to watch in 2016. (Think back to the second half in Athens when Auburn had as many first downs as the rest of us - bagel.) Well, that group got not one but two loads of good news this weekend. First, quarterback Jarrett Stidham says he's going to Auburn. Stidham is the nation's No. 1 junior college player after leaving Baylor University last year. Then news came that Kamryn Pettway, who was leading the SEC in rushing before hurting his leg against Vandy, says he'll return for his redshirt junior season.
< LeBron James went for 44, points, nine boards and 10 assists in the Cavs' win over Charlotte on Sunday. James moved into ninth all-time in points Saturday and then dropped the gem Sunday to reach another milestone. James is the only player in NBA history to have more than 27,000 points, 7,000 rebounds and 7,000 assists. The Big O - Oscar Robertson - was close but finished 290 points short. Kobe Bryant was several hundred assists shy of the milestone.
