Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is facing the coldest game hes ever played Sunday when Tennessee visits Kansas City, where the high is predicted to reach 19 degrees.Thats very chilly for a native of Hawaii and will be among the top five coldest games all-time for the Tennessee franchise.Im looking forward to it, Mariota said. Its going to be a fun atmosphere and cant wait to do it.Mariota said one of his last games at Oregon was played in temperatures in the 20s, but nothing like what the Titans will see Sunday. At least the sun will be out, with no snow in the forecast.The 2014 Heisman Trophy winner and No. 2 pick overall in 2015 and other star athletes took part in a Nike commercial last year showing Mariota and other NFL stars playing on a snow day.No, that commercial did not prepare Mariota to play in the cold .If you think bubbles and fake snow is going to get us ready for Sunday ... Mariota said with a laugh. No, but it was lot of fun to be able to do that. Nike did a fun event.All in all, well be ready for Sunday.---SCRAMBLING QB: New Miami Dolphins backup quarterback T.J. Yates said he spent 18 hours a day at his new job this week, taking only an occasional break for a six-hour nap while he learned the offense -- and the names of teammates.He didnt get a chance to meet his blockers until he stepped into the huddle at practice.I introduced myself to the offensive line on the first play, Yates said. I got in there: `Hi guys, how are you doing?Ill certainly learn names. Right now its just numbers.Yates is a sixth-year veteran with seven career starts, including one in the 2011 playoffs with Houston. He also has played for Atlanta.He signed Tuesday and will back up Matt Moore on Saturday night at the New York Jets, part of a shakeup at the position after starter Ryan Tannehill sprained his left knee last week.---CHEETAH SPEED: Opposing NFL teams are quickly recognizing the speed of Tyreek Hill , but Kansas Citys rookie wide receiver has known since he was 6 years old that hes faster than just about anyone else.My older cousins took me on this dirt road, he recalled this week, and there were wild dogs and it was crazy. My cousins are like, 12, and Im the youngest. The dogs came out and I outran everybody. I was scared; it was a wild thing. Everybody was running, but I was the first one back to the house.His family dubbed him Cheetah for his speed, and the nickname ultimately stuck.It still fits, too. Hills speed is a big reason hes scored on the ground, through the air and on punt and kickoff returns this season, the first rookie since Gale Sayers in 1965 to accomplish the feat.His punt return TD last week against Oakland earned him AFC special teams player of the week.---KAPS IMPACT: Colin Kaepernicks explanation of his decision to not stand for the national anthem before 49ers games has been chosen one of the 10 most impactful communications actions this year by Decker Communications.Nominations for positive or negative impactful communications were solicited by Decker, which provides communication strategies, training and actionable insights to executives and their staffs at Fortune 500 companies, to leading nonprofits and to startups. All nominations were vetted by an internal committee.Labeled The Knee Drop Heard `Round the World, Kaepernicks justification of his actions was listed 10th by Decker. The companys review of Kaepernicks TV interview:Are you going to make a point or make a difference? We all have an opportunity and a choice.Colin Kaepernick made a point, but he missed the opportunity to make a difference. He was not prepared to articulate his point of view, and he missed a massive opportunity to speak with passion and purpose. Of course people would want to know what he was doing.Its a lesson about what happens in any miscommunication: you mean one thing, and the audience absorbs another. While hes saying all the right things, his behaviors are defensive and sketchy.Other sports items on Decker Communications list were Vin Scullys goodbye speech at Dodger Stadium (No. 4), and Ryan Lochtes handling of his problems at the Rio Olympics (No. 7).---OFFSPRING: A sectional high school playoff game on Friday night in California figured to feature quite an array of celebrity fans in the stands.Cathedral Catholic High School, which is located in San Diego, was taking on St. Marys.

J.A. Happ will pitch Mondays series finale against the Oakland Athletics. Todd Redmond will be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo and pitch Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. Josh Johnson, who was scheduled to pitch on Monday, moves to Wednesday. Esmil Rogers will return to the bullpen. Got it? First, Johnson: The big right-hander experienced tightness in his right forearm during his most recent start, a 7-2 win over the Seattle Mariners last Tuesday. "During the game it got a little tight but it was no big deal," Johnson told TSN.ca. "Woke up the next day and it was pretty sore and then it just kind of stayed sore. (Saturday) and (Sunday) its been feeling much, much better." Johnson has made minor mechanical adjustments in an effort to better stay on top of his pitches. He wasnt sure if the adjustments were the reason for his discomfort. He insists the issue isnt serious. "No panic," said Johnson. Happ will throw on regular rest, a luxury afforded him and the ballclub by last Thursdays off day. Following Mondays start, Happ will leave the team to attend his grandfathers funeral. The Blue Jays dont have to make a formal rosterr move on Redmond until Tuesday.dddddddddddd One option would be to place Happ on the bereavement list, which would require him to miss a minimum of three games, irrelevant given that hes a starting pitcher who works every fifth day. Rogers went 2-5 with a 5.48 ERA in 13 starts. His problems have spiked of late. Rogers has allowed 22 runs (20 earned) in his last three starts. With 96 2/3 innings pitched this season, Rogers is well beyond his previous career high set in 2011 when he threw 83 innings in 18 appearances (13 starts) for Colorado. 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF CHRISTIE PITS RIOT Many thanks to the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto and The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs for inviting me to be part of Sunday mornings media softball game at Christie Pits. The event marked the 80th anniversary of the Christie Pits riot. The incident occurred on August 16, 1933, after a playoff baseball game between the predominantly Jewish Harbord Playground and St. Peters. A group of Nazi sympathizers descended on the park and displayed a swastika. Later, when confronted, a large fight broke out which grew to include about 10,000 people and lasted for six hours.
