Young Wins In His First Start This Season For the Titans
Vince Young mad his return as starting quarterback for the Tennessee Titans and he delivered, winning the first game for the Titans this year. Rumor has it that Titans owner Bud Adams directly ordered Jeff Fisher to start Vince Young, who has not started since early in the 2008 season. Young finished with 125 yards on 15 of 18 passing. and rush for 30 yards. A respectable showing considering his time away from being a starter. Coach Jeff Fisher said Young’s performance was "efficient."

Brett Favre Leads the Vikings over The Packer For the Second Time This Season
Responding to a chorus of boos, Brett Favre threw four touch on passes at Lambeau Field last night and did what only Favre can do; the incredible. He led the Vikings to a 38-26 win over the Green Bay Packers. In doing so Favre continued his crusade to torment Packer management regarding their shabby treatment doing his departure in 2007.
Favre was vintage Favre on this night, but appearing in a Viking Purple uniform did not create a warm and fuzzy feeling with the Packer faithful. To do what he did to the Packers for the second time is probably unbelievable to most Packer fans. The only revenge left for the Packers is some miracle meeting with the Vikings in the playoff. It is safe to say that Favre can celebrate sweet revenge and enjoy his victory over the Packers, for the second time this season. Sphere: Related Content

Lebron and Shack Starred Tonight Against the Celtics
Lebron James and Shaquille O'Neal of the Cavaliers made their debut against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night. It was a preview of things to come. Shack played well and will be a great compliment for James. James had three block shots in the first quarter, while Shack had 9 points on three for three shooting.
This was a match up between two teams who will be meet come at some point in the playoffs in the spring. It is too early to tell which team will prevail, however if Lebron James' play in the season opener is any indication, he will be more than a lot to deal with during the rest of the season. The addition of Shaquille O'Neal make the Cavs a very formidable opponent. Sphere: Related Content

Vick's Agent Says Deal Reached With Nike
Source: Associated Press
Mike Principe, a principal at Blue Equity, which represents Mr. Vick, told attendees at the Sports Business Journal/Relay Worldwide Sports Sponsorship Symposium that Mr. Vick had reached a deal to return to Nike, but he did not disclose any further details.
Reached shortly after reports of Mr. Principe's comments started catching fire on Twitter this afternoon, a Nike spokesman said he was "checking," but did not reply by deadline with a confirmation.
Vick's primary agent, Joel Segal, confirmed the deal in a statement to Sports Business Daily: "Mike has had a great relationship with Nike and is excited to be part of the Nike team again. He has always been a fan of the brand and looks forward to the relationship," Mr. Segal said.
Nike -- along with EA Sports and AirTran -- dropped Mr. Vick in 2007 after he plead guilty to running an interstate dogfighting ring. He was cut by his team, the Atlanta Falcons, and later went to prison. In a 2007 statement concerning Mr. Vick, Nike said, "We consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent."
But he was released earlier this year and signed a new deal with the Philadelphia Eagles for a modest backup role behind the team's star quarterback, Donovan McNabb.
None of his other former endorsees have taken him back, but Mr. Vick has embarked on an ambitious image-rehabilitation campaign that includes recording public-service announcements for the Humane Society of the U.S. and a series of mea-culpa style interviews.
Mr. Vick played his first regular-season NFL game since his incarceration last weekend and was largely ineffective in limited action on the field.
