An 0-2 start by the Jacksonville Jaguars is not exactly a surprise. No, they have a darn good chance of going 0-16. For others, though, being winless through two games of the NFL season is a borderline disaster. NFC South teams Carolina and Tampa Bay fell to 0-2 in heartbreaking fashion, while NFC East members New York and Washington did not come close to putting one in the win column. On the baseball diamond, September has been a problem for good teams. The Ranges and Yankees are fading fast, and even the Dodgers can’t wait for the regular season to end and playoffs to begin.

Tampa Bay Bucs. The Bucs led New Orleans by one point and had possession with first down at the Saints’ 36-yard line with barely more than two minutes remaining. Game over, right? Well, if Ryan Lindell had converted a 47-yard field goal, it would have been. Instead, Lindell missed and the Saints promptly drove down the field and booted a last-second field-goal of their own. Rather than being 1-1 and atop the NFC South due to the tiebreaker, Tampa Bay is suddenly 0-2 and two games back of New Orleans. The Bucs are +7 road underdogs at New England in Week 3.

Eli Manning. Eli is now 0-3 in the history of the Manning Bowl against his brother, Peyton. This one was close for a while, but the visiting Broncos scored 21 unanswered points late in the third quarter and early in the fourth. Eli threw four interceptions, while Peyton completed 30-of-43 passes for 307 yards and two scores without one pick. On the bright side for New York, the entire NFC East looked abysmal on Sunday. Dallas lost at Kansas City, Philadelphia fell at home to San Diego, and Washington got blown out by Green Bay. The Giants are +400 to win the division.

Mack Brown. It’s safe to say the firing of defensive coordinator Manny Diaz did not cure any ills. Diaz got the boot after Texas lost to BYU 40-21 on Sept. 7 while allowing 550 rushing yards in the process. Ole Miss pinned 449 total yards on the Longhorns on Saturday and outscored the home team 27-0 in the second half en route to a 44-23 victory. Brown was already on the hot seat—especially with one coordinator having already taken a fall—and now he’s on hot coals. The ‘Horns host Kansas State this week and the Red River Shootout is looming on October 12. Texas is +500000 to win the BCS National Championship (insert LOL here).

New York Yankees. Losing three in a row is extremely painful for the Yankees right now. Losing three in a row to Boston, of course, makes it even worse. That’s what happened to the Bronx Bombers over the weekend as they were swept clean out of their arch-rival’s city by a combined score of 22-7. New York was already kissing the AL East goodbye (they were 9.5 back of the Red Sox, now 12.5), but its wild-card hopes were—and still are—hanging in the balance. The Yankees are three games behind Texas and Tampa Bay for one of the two spots, and Cleveland and Baltimore also stand in between them and a place in the one-game playoff. It’s not looking good.

Texas Rangers. Heading into September, Texas was two games up on Oakland for first place in the AL West. Fast forward 16 days, and the Rangers trail the A’s by a whopping 6.5 games. Ron Washington’s club is an outrageously terrible 2-13 this month. Its current six-game slide includes a sweep at the hands of none other than Oakland over the weekend. Texas is all but done in the division, and it is one game away from being out of the playoffs altogether (Cleveland trails Texas and Tampa Bay by 0.5 games in the wild-card race). The Rangers are +1000 to win the AL Pennant.

Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers did not get swept because of a win over San Francisco last Thursday, but they also lost three consecutive games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Clayton Kershaw suffered a rare setback on Friday, and L.A. got clobbered 19-3 on Saturday before taking a one-run defeat in the series finale. Don Mattingly’s squad will still clinch the NL West this week, but it is three games behind Atlanta for the best record in the league. The Dodgers are even-money favorites to win the NL Pennant and +250 favorites to win the World Series.

Tiger Woods. What is the deal this season with Tiger and penalties? He incurred one in Abu Dhabi to begin the year, felt the burn of a much more publicized one at the Masters, and it happened again during this weekend’s BMW Championship. Tiger drove into the woods on his first hole of the second round, moved some loose impediments around his ball, thought his ball merely oscillated, but later learned that it actually moved. The result was two extra strokes on the card. That left Tiger four shots—instead of two—back of Jim Furyk heading into Monday’s rain-delayed final round. He is still a considerable favorite to capture the FedEx Cup this weekend in Atlanta.
