Brady's zinger hits nerve with Jets

Tom Brady hates the New York Jets. Rex Ryan doesn't like the New England Patriots.

The verbal sparring has started again and there's still nearly three weeks to go before the fierce rivals begin their seasons.

During his contractually mandated weekly appearance on WEEI radio on Monday, Brady was asked about "Hard Knocks," the HBO show giving an inside look at the Jets training camp.

"Honestly, I haven't turned it on," he said in a casual manner.

"I hate the Jets, so I refuse to support that show."

The question and answer lasted just 42 seconds and came two-thirds of the way through a 19½-minute interview. But it didn't take long for the Jets to hear about the words from Brady, who usually is more guarded in his comments.

Ryan's, whose tongue is a lot looser, liked Brady's remark.

"It's great. Hey, join the club," Ryan said with a laugh.

"Heck, he knows we hate the Patriots, so what's the difference?" the coach said with a smile. "My brother's got a couple of Super Bowl rings. He loves Tom Brady, but I don't have them, so I don't like Tom Brady. I respect him, but I don't like him."

Titans trip Cardinals: Chris Johnson ran for a touchdown, Vince Young outdueled Matt Leinart again and host Tennessee beat the Arizona Cardinals 24-10 Monday in the Titans' preseason home opener.

The Titans (1-1) never trailed as Johnson scored on his sixth carry, an 8-yard TD that capped an 85-yard drive. The all-pro watched from the bench the rest of the night.

Young once again got the better of Leinart, who is trying to hold off Derek Anderson for the Cardinals' starting job. Young was 9 of 13 for 128 yards and left after four series with a 10-0 lead.

Leinart was 4 of 6 for 28 yards but produced no points for a second straight preseason game for the Cardinals (1-1).

Shanahan, Haynesworth meet: Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan met with Albert Haynesworth on Monday and kept the conversation to himself, saying it's "completely ridiculous" to keep talking about it publicly.

"If you guys want to talk about football, we'll talk about football," Shanahan said. "But to keep on talking about things outside of football to me is completely ridiculous. I did have a conversation with him. If you want to talk about football, we'll talk about football."

So Shanahan gave no response to the strong words uttered by the disgruntled nose tackle following Saturday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Haynesworth accused the coach of mischaracterizing the reason he missed practice last week and said he will stay away from the Redskins' off-season workout program again next year.

Redskins free safety Kareem Moore will be sidelined 4-6 weeks after undergoing surgery on his sprained right knee.
