San Francisco 49ers 12/22/2007 8:33 AMThe Mercury News reports after winning his first NFL start a week ago, 49ers QB Shaun Hill wants to show he can deliver solid performances on a weekly basis.

Cincinnati Bengals 12/22/2007 8:16 AMThe Dayton Daily News reports QB Carson Palmer wasn't the only one convinced the Cincinnati Bengals would be 2-0 when they boarded a charter flight for Seattle the third week of the season. But something happened after their season-opening victory against Baltimore. They overlooked the Browns and got ambushed in Cleveland, 51-45 on Sept. 16. "I think this whole team thought we'd be 2-0 walking into Seattle," Palmer said. "We were all shocked and we needed it. It knocked us down a little bit and made us realize we're not that good."

Tennessee Titans 12/21/2007 1:00 PMThe Nashville Tennessean reports NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell put any hope of CB Pacman Jones returning to the Titans this season to rest on Thursday. Less than a week after hearing an appeal from the NFL Players Association on behalf of the cornerback, Goodell informed Jones his season-long suspension stands. The commissioner again left the door open for a return to the NFL next season. The Titans, who have Jones under contract through the 2010 season, declined to comment on Thursday's ruling. "Pardon my naivety, but I expect him to be a Titan until I hear otherwise,'' said Manny Arora, the player's attorney. "If they don't want him back, that is a business decision they make. But he expects to be back. He loves that team. He wants to be there. ⦠Wherever he goes he's going to be tearing up the NFL next year. He's ready to play."Read more
