Marvin Harrison has been out of work for six weeks now, and there's no reason to think that'll change anytime soon. 
When the Titans selected receiver Brandon Jones in the third round of the 2005 draft, a lot of people who are paid to offer opinions on talent thought that he had the potential to be a real solid player at the NFL level. In four seasons, however, Jones has been largely average. When your career year came in 2006 and only featured 384 yards and four touchdowns, you're closer to Drew Bennett's career arc than Jerry Rice's.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison has passed former Eagle/Vikings/Dolphin Cris Carter on the NFL's all-time receptions list, catching his 1,102nd career pass today against the Titans.
How hard can it be? Jerry Rice finished second. Emmitt Smith won the thing. Hell, even Warren Sapp didn't embarrass himself.
Regarding Keyshawn Johnson, whom Owens' referred to as Sheshawn at least three times, he said: "[As the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft] he is the ultimate underachiever on that panel. I am the reason he is in the booth. Everybody is aware when I was brought to Dallas he was the one they let go to get me here."Two things: first, Dwayne Jarrett is the reason Keyshawn is "in the booth"; the Panthers drafted Jarrett in the second round of the 2007 draft, which ultimately led to Johnson's release -- or, asking to be cut, depending on who's telling the story -- and a second career in television.
He said there was one thing he agreed with that [Cris] Carter had to say and that was that Jerry Rice is the best receiver of all time. "But I am second all time behind Jerry Rice," Owens said in accentuating his superiority over Carter and Johnson.
The Denver Broncos and Jay Cutler have been playing the role of school yard bully the first two weeks of the NFL season, causing two different defensive backs to have awkward, game changing penalties called against them.Cromartie finally drove Marshall out of bounds. Cromartie kept driving and was called for a personal foul. The Broncos ended up taking a 14-3 lead on a Jay Cutler touchdown pass to Tony Scheffler.Somehow, through all of this -- an additional five yard penalty to keep a Broncos drive alive in the middle of the fourth didn't help either -- the Chargers are only down by one point.
On Denver's next drive, Cromartie was charged with another personal foul after tackling Marshall. Cutler then hit Scheffler for another touchdown as Denver jumped up on San Diego, 21-3.
After each penalty, Cromartie, who was questionable with a hip injury, was jumping up and down and clapping his hands.

*-well, of somewhat recent history.
We all know that Brett Favre will play his first game as a New York Jet this week and the shock of seeing him in a non-Packers jersey will be a bit frightening (as was seeing Jason Taylor in Redskins garb). Still, it isn't like we haven't seen this before from our recently great players.
