The Jets won their second game of the season last Sunday and it came at a price. Specifically: $100,000, which is how much coach Rex Ryan was fined by the league, according to ESPNNewYork.com, after he was caught on camera yelling, "F--- you!" to someone on the field as the game ended.

A day later, Ryan joked, "I think I was saying, 'Thank you,'" He then added, "Emotions run high in games. Sometimes it's best to ... what happens on the field stays on the field. That's where it stems from. It's a very emotional game. Obviously, I've got to do a good job of controlling my emotions. Things happen. I'm sorry if I offended anybody."

Ryan, who didn't specify where his comments were directed, had received a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty in the fourth quarter for arguing with an official that quarterback Michael Vick wasn't being protected like Ben Roethlisberger.

In six seasons with the Jets, Ryan has accumulated $225,000 in fines for three separate incidents. There was the $50,000 fine for making an obscene gesture at an MMA event back in February 2010, and in 2011, he was fined $75,000 after telling a MetLife Stadium heckler to "Shut the f--- up."

Titans TE Delanie Walker practices Saturday, still needs clearance to play



Titans tight end Delanie Walker cleared a major hurdle on Saturday in his effort to play in Week 11. But ultimate clearance still eludes him.Walker practiced in limited fashion today. It was the first time he's practiced since sustaining a concussion last week versus the Ravens. He is listed as questionable for Monday night's showdown with the Steelers, but Walker's availability will hinge on the opinion of an independent neurologist who must give Walker the all-clear before he can suit up again.



The "Q" tag is rather meaningless. It all comes down to how Walker feels over the next couple of days and what that doctor says. We may not receive a definitive word on Walker's status until after's Sunday's action, so he is extremely risky play. Picking up Heath Miller represents your only realistic insurance option if you have your heart set on keeping Walker in your lineup. The Titans' other TEs are not worth your time. Pittsburgh has allowed seven touchdowns to tight ends this year.
