Sizzle

Andy Murray »  By reaching the final of the Rogers Cup in Montreal — nevermind winning the tournament — Murray moved up to No. 2 in the ATP rankings, vaulting past Rafael Nadal into the highest spot ever for a British man.

Brady Quinn »  Interception and drop by Braylon Edwards at Green Bay don’t hurt his assault on the starting QB spot in Cleveland, as Derek Anderson guided Browns to only 5 yards and one pick vs. the Packers.

Fizzle

Padraig Harrington »  There’s no PGA Tour official to blame this time after a second straight tournament in which he’s had an absolute shocking hole during his final round. On Sunday at Hazeltine, Harrington put two balls in the water on the par-3 No. 8 hole before carding an eight.

Jets defense »  New York will be without two defensive starters for its season opener, as Calvin Pace (PED suspension) was joined by Shaun Ellis, whose marijuana arrest in November will cost him one game and $100,000.
