    This was only proposed after the "nickel a tooth" tax failed to close the state's budget deficit.

    NFL rules would have penalized the state had it included their guys


    I weep for society if the government is in fear of retribution from a private sports league. Somebody call the leg store... the government would like something to stand on.

    No wonder Calipari left Memphis. This would have really hampered his recruiting style.

    The state is also imposing a visitation tax on any football coaches whose first name begins with "U."

    For a second, I got excited and thought that Tennessee's ingenious plan to end the recession was Teen Wolf 3.
