-Vince Young and the Tennessee Titans have rattled off four-consecutive wins, putting them at a mark of 4-6. Props to Titans head coach Jeff Fisher for not only inserting the embattled quarterback, but for the offense that he’s installed, which has a heavy emphasis on the option play. Young was having so much fun out there Monday evening that not only did he pat the referee on the rear-end, he hit him up with a high-five at the game’s final whistle.

-If the Lions and Browns can take a couple things away from their 38-37 shootout, it’s that they will need to put talent around their young quarterbacks and bulk up their defensive units. Matthew Stafford and Brady Quinn combined for nine touchdowns and over 700 yards. If they can do this against the league’s top-half and not the bottom of the barrel (each other); big things could be in store.

-The Buffalo Bills have reached out to Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden and now Bill Cowher. Of the three, only Shanahan has agreed to meet with the club. Ralph Wilson has stated that he’s willing to spend up to $10 million to fill the long-lasting void at head coach. Unless one of these big-name coaches has a gambling problem, I simply don’t see it happening.

-Crazy as it may sound – no head coach has ever won a Super Bowl with two teams.

-Bears quarterback Jay Cutler had a lengthy chat with Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb following Sunday night’s contest. If I was a Bears’ fan, I would hope that Cutler was listening, despite that typically smug look he had on his face.

-The Raiders pulled the plug on quarterback Jamarcus Russell in favor of Bruce Gradkowski this past week and managed the upset of the week, as they spoiled what should have been an easy win for the Cincinnati Bengals. They could win-out and I would still say this is a terrible move by a terrible team. Russell is slated to earn $41 million of guaranteed money. That’s right; $41 million. He should take every snap for that team this season – win, lose or draw.

-Count me among those who bashed Brett Favre and his latest comeback and now sit and watch in amazement. I bet a lot of teams around the league are wishing their respective quarterback could meet with the same miracle-surgeon who has Favre’s arm looking like its 20 and not 40 years-old.

-Dear New York Jets: Wes Welker called, you can pick up your jock straps whenever. The Patriots are red-hot and I have a hard time believing that the Saints will remain undefeated after their Week 12 showdown on Monday night.

-I care as much about this week’s match-up between the Saint Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks as I do if I insert the “L” into my right ear and the “R” into my left ear for my iPod headphones. Here’s to hoping they change my mind.
