BKN--SURPRISING SUNS

PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns are supposed to be an NBA afterthought this season. Maybe they still will be. They have raced to a surprising 11-3 start, though. With Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire back at their pick-and-roll best, and a host of 3-point shooters around them, the Suns are ever so fun to watch again. Perhaps more importantly, they're having fun, too. By Bob Baum.

FBN--DRAMATIC TITANS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Titans certainly know how to make things exciting, whether it's Chris Johnson running wild, Vince Young reviving his career or finding ways to win in the fourth quarter. After winning four straight after an 0-6 start, the team isn't ready to write this season off. By Teresa M. Walker.

FBC--ARIZONA-ARIZONA ST QUARTERBACKS

Meanwhile, the Sun Devils' quarterback picture is a mess, with a different starter each of the last three weeks. By College Football Andrew Bagnato.
