Whas Happened In Sports Last Night

• NFL: So if you were Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin, would you be packing right about now? His job security is about as solid as an Al Davis’ poop after a Monday night drubbing at the hands of Oakland’s nemesis, the Denver Broncos. Denver Broncos 41, Oakland Raiders 14. [Yahoo]
• MLB: Are the Tampa Bay Rays getting a case of “Young Team”-itis? After dropping the first game of their three-game set in Boston, the upstart Rays are now only a half-game in front of the ‘07 Champs. Veteran finesse versus youthful exuberance—who you got?

• NFL: They really should have Monday night football doubleheaders every week to take the suck out of, well, it being Monday. Last night’s first game was also Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ first at the helm, and he did fine. No one’s going to compare his output last night to Brett Favre, but he did get to do the Lambeau Leap without getting stabbed by the fans wearing Favre Jet jerseys… so that’s a good sign. Green Bay Packers 24, Minnesota Vikings 19. [ESPN]
• US Open: The stories of Roger Federer’s demise aren’t true, as the Sweed captured his fifth straight US Open crown by defeating Englishman Andy Murray in straight sets. He’s the first man ever to win five consecutive Wimbeldon and US Open championships, which is as pimp as it gets in the tennis world. Roger Federer over Andy Murray, 6-2, 7-5, 6-2. [NY Times]
