The Houston Oilers are back. The Tennessee Titans unveiled a set of throwback jerseys on Sunday night that honor the former franchise name. The team, which went by the Oilers nickname through the 1998 season both in Houston and Tennessee, will wear the iconic powder blue jerseys twice during home games this fall. Though it’s unclear when the Titans will don the throwback jerseys, it will mark the franchise’s first regular-season home game playing in the powder blue jerseys since moving to Tennessee. The Oilers didn’t wear the jerseys at home games when they first moved to the state in 1997, instead opting to play in all-white jerseys before they relocated from Memphis to Nashville permanently and changed their name. The NFL quickly replaced the Oilers in 2002 with the Houston Texans. The Titans are just the latest in the league to release their alternate uniforms for the season. The Cleveland Browns dropped an all-white alternate set last week, for example, and the Seattle Seahawks released a 90s-themed throwback kit. The Titans went just 7-10 last season, and they lost their last seven games. The Titans struggled to replace quarterback Ryan Tannehill after he landed on injured reserve with an ankle injury. It marked the franchise’s first losing season since 2015. The Titans will open the season Sept. 10 against at the New Orleans Saints. They’ll play their home opener the following week against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Titans will host the Texans on Dec. 17, which would undoubtedly make for a great date to wear the Oilers throwbacks.

Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table.

Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
