Today’s Sports News – NFL news: Tennessee Titans, Jeff Fisher part ways; Plaxico Burress to play in 2011?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
Tennessee Titans, Jeff Fisher part ways<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Considering that Bud Adams and the Tennessee Titans handed Vince Young his walking papers after the 2011 regular season, it was a bit of a shock to learn yesterday that the team and coach Jeff Fisher had mutually parted ways after 16 years. Wasn\u2019t it supposed to be Young or Fisher \u2013 not both? Since the Titans\u2019 1999 season in which they made a run to the Super Bowl, Fisher\u2019s record is 110-82, good for seventh in the NFL. He was the NFL\u2019s longest tenured coach.<\/p>\n

Could Plaxico Burress go straight from jail to the NFL next season? His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, believes so. Rosenhaus predicted this week that Burress \u201cwill be playing in 2011, and he will play very well. And it will be a very happy ending to a very tough, tough story. \u201cCan Burress still make an impact at age 34?<\/p>\n

Was Aaron Rodgers concussed last Sunday on the helmet-to-helmet hit he took from Julius Peppers? Some conspiracy theorists wonder about it. Several concussion experts have commented to the media this week that Rodgers\u2019 \u201cgaze\u201d after the hit was glassy-eyed and out of focus, suggesting he may have been concussed. They also pointed out that his throws were completely off for the rest of the game. It\u2019s a scary thought considering Rodgers had already suffered two concussions this season.<\/p>\n

Twitter war! Antonio Cromartie said earlier this week that the NFL players and owners need to strike a deal to avoid a lockout. He met some backlash from players, including Matt Hasselbeck, who tweeted, \u201cSomebody ask Cromartie if he knows what CBA stands for.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hasselbeck deleted the post but Cromartie learned about it. He responded: \u201chey Matt if u have something to say be a man about it. Don\u2019t erase it. I will smash ur face in.\u201d Hasselbeck got the backpedalling after that: \u201cSorry for the joke man. No hard feelings. DB\u2019s & QB\u2019s have a hard time getting along I guess sometimes. Lol.\u201d Awkward.<\/p>\n

NBA news: Nets send Troy Murphy home; O.J. Mayo suspended for positive drug test<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t call Avery Johnson\u2019s methods in New Jersey unoriginal. Earlier this season, the Nets head coach sent Terrence Williams, a 2009 first-round pick, down to the D-league before he was eventually traded. Now, Johnson has sent Troy Murphy home. For good, it seems.<\/p>\n

Troy Murphy will not rejoin the Nets \u2013 perhaps ever. He\u2019s been sent home \u201cin case\u201d the Nets try to trade him or in case they hang on to him for use in a future re-attempt at the Carmelo Anthony trade.<\/p>\n

The NBA has suspended Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayor for 10 games after he violated the league\u2019s anti-drug policy. He tested positive for dehydroepiandrosterone. He said the positive test came from an over-the-counter supplement he didn\u2019t know was banned by the league.<\/p>\n

NHL news: Capitals extend Alex Semin<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell if it means the Washington Capitals are more or less likely to trade him \u2013 but, for what it\u2019s worth, they\u2019ve extended Alex Semin\u2019s contract. They added one year at $6.7 million to his deal. The Russian sniper has been sidelined since January 8 because of a groin injury but is expected to return directly after the All-Star game.<\/p>\n
