I don't care if Mike Ditka picked them to win it all and I don't care that they're the only undefeated team in the NFL, the Tennessee Titans are not the best team in the league. Sure, they spanked the Chiefs around in Arrowhead, but these ain't your father's Chiefs we're talking about and Arrowhead is about as unpleasant as a trip to Hawaii for opponents these days so let's hold back on the kudos for now.

Let's check back in five weeks and see how the passing-challenged Titans are doing after facing Indy, Green Bay, Chicago, Jacksonville and the Jets in consecutive weeks. As of now, the Titans are 6-0 but have beaten six teams with a combined record of 12-26. While the running game made the passing game unnecessary for most of the game against the Chiefs, when you manage just 123 total yards in the air and guys named Bo, Ahmard and Lavelle are catching passes from a guy named Kerry, it's only a matter of time before your one-dimensional offense catches up with you.

While I'd like to show some compassion for my fellow man when they fall on hard times, it's kind of hard to find the pity when they continually do things that question their intelligence. Reading today how Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain was picked up for drunk driving, speeding and possessing an open container of alcohol in his vehichle while in Nebraska this weekend. He said his actions were "an error in judgement" and I agree with him on that. I can't fault any guy for getting his drunk on in Nebraska because well, I've been there, and Nebraska without a buzz is about as close to hell on earth as it gets.

But what I don't understand is how these high-priced athletes can't simply shell out a few bucks to hire a person to drive them around when they're drinking and need to get from place to place. Chamberlain made more than $500k this past season and will become an instant millionaire when he signs his next contract. You can't tell me he can't afford to hire a driver to be at the ready at all times for $50k a year. In fact, I'd like to apply for the position right now. Joba just give me a call and we can work something out asap. I'm sure his legal fees will add up to close to that amount and driving around an star athlete likely has its bonus perks anyway, right? It's a win-win for everybody.

Just thought I'd chime in on a few topics that caught my eye the last few days and see if I'm the only one thinking Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones panicked in making the trade for WR Roy Williams?

Williams is a former Pro Bowl caliber player and could easily regain that form now that he has a legitimate quarterback throwing to him, but the first post-Matt Millen move made by Detroit has all the makings of a highway robbery. Jones said he has been coveting Williams for the last two years and couldn't get a deal done during the Millen era. Knowing how smitten Jones was with Williams and realizing injuries to Tony Romo, Felix Jones and Sam Herd had decimated the Cowboys offensive capabilities, the Lions simply held out for more and Jones eventually caved. Watching billionaires like Jones get outsmarted like that makes you wonder how they built their financial empires in the first place doesn't it?

Speaking of bad Jones' decisions, it looks like the Pacman experiment was more trouble than it was worth. Seems the trouble-prone defensive back got all liquored up and started a fight with the guy the Cowboys assigned to keep him out of trouble. What? Pacman's issues would probably be more tolerable if he was an elite defender or even an above-average return specialist like many said he was but that has not been the case and now the Cowboys are forced to admit their mistake in giving him a second chance and move on.

When it comes to quarterbacks, one of the intangibles scouts and GMs look for is field awareness. In general terms, this basically means that a guy is always in the game as far as knowing the down and distance, understanding the score, his team's position on the field and most importantly what he can and cannot do with the game on the line. Apparently Lions' backup QB Dan Orlovsky was home sick on the days the team went over such things in Training Camp because his safety in last week's loss to the Vikings was both comical and inexcusable at the same time. Tied 0-0 in the first quarter against the Vikings, Orvlosky took the snap at his own two yard line and dropped back to pass in his own endzone. Minnesota's Jared Allen forced him from the pocket and Orvlosky retreated back a couple yards while scrambling from the pressure and was called for the safety as he appoached the first row of seats behind the endzone. Talk about lack of awareness. This guy was out of the endzone for about as long as the cheerleaders were coming back after the commercial before he realized what was up. Clueless, totally clueless.

And last but not least, how about a shout out to the impressive Rays of Tampa Bay. Not only are they taking care of the defending champs, they're doing it with an offensive barrage like no other. I believe the Sox are rolling out Josh Beckett in an attempt to prolong the inevitable but it might take Josh Gibson to slow down these sizzling bats.

I was fortunate enough to take in Game 3 and Game 4 of the Brewers-Phillies NLDS games this past weekend and despite the quick exit by my hometown Milwaukee squad, I couldn't have been more impressed with the effort made by the Brewers' faithful in the stands.

I've been to more than 200 Brewer games in my life and I have never witnessed anything close to the atmosphere of this past weekend. The team returned home from Philly down 0-2 in the series but you would have guessed it was the Brewers that were looking for the sweep if you based it solely on the crowd at Miller Park.

From the opening pitch on Saturday right up until the final pitch on Sunday, both crowds did everything they could to keep the Brewers dream alive. Whether it was the non-stop cheers, the feverish wavering of the Brewers towels on Saturday to the deafening noise created by the 86,000 thunder sticks that were given out on Sunday, both Miller Park crowds definitely did their part.

Unfortunately for the Miller Park maniacs, the team was simply outplayed on the field and there was nothing we in the stands could do about it. An error here, a misplayed fly ball there, coupled with the ever-popular strikeout with runners in scoring position and it translated to a recipe for disaster for the playoff-starved Crew. Sure, there were some highlights sprinkled in throughout the weekend but in the end, the quick exit was not only disappointing but it was made even more so by the fact that many of the players who helped make this season a memorable one likely won't be around for another run at the title next year.

If the Brewer brass can just keep rolling out a competitive team we'll be back to lend our support. Next year's Brewers will have plenty of holes to fill on the diamond that's for sure, but at least they can take solace in the fact that their fan base is alive and well, three million strong and growing.

Just thought I'd post some quick-hitting thoughts about what's going in the wild world of sports.

First off, enough already about what a big deal it is when pitchers start on just three days rest. I'm no "baseball purist" by any means and I'm not old enough to remember the days before setup men and situational pitchers and all that, but I know for a fact that pitching on three days rest was a common practice before guaranteed million-dollar contracts became the norm. With the advent of pitch counts and quick hooks, complete games are about as rare as a clutch hit from the Brewers lineup so why not roll with your ace every three days, give him the typical 95 pitches to work his magic and take your chances. The difference between most team's No. 1 and No. 2 starters is usually worth a couple runs so even a No. 1 at 90% is usually better than a No. 2 at 100%.

Give me a staff of rubber-armed Roy Halladay, CC Sabathia and Johan Santana and I'll pitch all three every third day and take my chances.

Planning on going to Game 3 of the NLDS series between Milwaukee and Philly Saturday and while the Brewers will be battling for their lives down 0-2 in the best-of-five series, I sure hope we as fans do our part to try to will a Game 4 into existence. Milwaukee has waited 26 years for this opportunity and I'd hate to see 45,000 turn their backs on the team because they weren't able to get their act together in the postseason. This Brewer team is one of the most frustrating and yet exciting teams I've ever followed, but that's only because they have the talent to advance and it would be such a shame if they didn't display it.

I saw how quick a certain contingent at the "not-so-friendly" confines bailed on their squad when things didn't go their way and I would hate to see our fan base fall into the "fair-weather" variety.
