Florida's Percy Harvin Is Healthy...Hasn't Felt This Good Since 10th Grade
I'm ashamed to admit I've been following the tribulations of Percy Harvin and his heel way too closely. Hoping against hope that he'd be too dinged up early in the season to play against my Vols. Up until recently the enigmatic health situation of Harvin seemed promising, maybe he would be slowed a...
College Football Roundup: Charlie Weis Is Broken
After a week of piddling interest, college football returned with a vengeance. Before I get rolling with 11 observations on the weekend that was, let me take this opportunity to get this before the jump. Our fearless editor is going to have a full-report from OSU-USC, but let's just say it now, can...
Vince Young Is Back, But Shhhh, Please Don't Boo Him
Talking publicly for the first time since Jeff Fisher sent guys with white coats after him with butterfly nets, Vince Young says that he's fine, he wants to play, and that he was never depressed. The problem was that he had never been booed before, and didn't know how to handle it. Um, good thing he...
Vince Young's Mom Says He Doesn't Want to Play Football Anymore
The Vince Young saga has taken another turn toward the bizarre — as if you expected anything else — with the quarterback reportedly telling people close to him that he's not prepared to continue his NFL career. Young, who went AWOL late Monday after meeting in turn with his mom, a psychologist and T...
Vince Young's Got A Gun: Searching For Answers To The Quarterback's Bizarre Unraveling
Plainly this won't be the last bit of news to trickle out about Vince Young's meltdown, but it's probably the last bit of news to explain the post-midnight visit with Coach Fisher. In addition to abruptly leaving his home without his cell phone, Young had a gun in the car. According to The Tennesse...
Titans Linebacker Keith Bulluck Serves Notice He's Coming for "Oucho Cinco"
Football players are so witty. You see the comedic work Bulluck is doing there? He added a vowel! The Titans linebacker is still stewing over Chad Johnson scoring a touchdown and celebrating with a television camera as a prop last season. So now Bulluck is letting Chad Ocho Cinco (nee Johnson) know...
This Vince Young Melt Down Is Getting Uglier...and Scary
It's beginning to look like Young is on the verge of a full-scale collapse. All day long Nashville airwaves exploded with talk of Young's alleged refusal to return to the field after his second interception. Now, things off the field are looking worse. Last night at 12:30 a.m., according to WKRN Ne...
Did Vince Young Quit on the Titans?
With all the furor over Tom Brady, Vince Young's fourth quarter histrionics have slid under the radar so far. Which is odd because it was as baffling, unexpected, and weird as anything that will happen on an NFL sideline this season. Briefly, the scene: On the previous drive Vince Young threw his s...
Vince Young's Sausage Tastes Great
Why are you looking at me like that? When you throw 9 touchdowns and 18 interceptions in a season, it's important to branch out your business interests. Which is why Vince Young has gone into the sausage business. Yep, being a Titans fan is awesome. On a serious note, how much money can you make wi...
Rick Neuheisel Takes the Mic After UCLA-Tennessee And Pours Salt In the Wounds
It's one thing for your team to lose right in front of you. Trust me, I've had plenty of experience with that. Quite another for the opposing coach to take the mic and verbally disembowel you before you've even been able to leave the stadium after an overtime game. Rick Neuheisel pulls it off. Imme...
NFL Season Preview: Tennessee Titans
We're less than two weeks away from the start of the NFL season, so it's time to start the impassioned season previews from various writers, bloggers, diehard fans, cooks, TV personalities, and numerous other walks of life whom consider football the only sport worth watching. Today: The Tennessee T...
LenDale White Thinks Ohio State Sucks
Fortunately for White, unlike former USC teammate Carson Palmer—who told an LA radio station he hated Ohio State and their fans and then was forced to issue an apology— he plays in Tennessee. Which means he could probably run for Governor and be elected on the "Ohio State Sucks" platform. So don't ...
Pacman Jones Just Got Reinstated; Receives News at Hooters
Dallas area strippers are rejoicing. It's probably just a coincidence that thunderstorms are in the Dallas forecast. Because, after over a year of suspension, Pacman is back. Jones confirmed the reinstatement with the Dallas Morning News this afternoon. Where was he when he received the news? Hoote...
Titans Haze Injured Rookies By Taping Them to Goalpost, Covering Them In Food
It's good to see that NFL hazing will never die. At least not until someone tears an ACL or suffocates while taped to a goal post. The Titans held their annual dizzy bat race for the healthy players. But they reserved their true scorn for the players who were too injured to participate in the dizzy...
Leitch Would Love Punt Returner Chris Carr
Chris Carr played three years with the Raiders before heading to Tennessee for a chance to makethe Titans' club as a special-teamer. He even had two punt returns in an exhibition game against his former team last night. But that's not why we care. No, we care because among Carr's other varied inter...
College Football Previews: #18 Tennessee
Last year Tennessee was 10-4 and won the SEC East. Change just three plays from three different games (a made field goal against South Carolina that sent the game into OT, Vanderbilt's missed field goal that would have won the Dores the game, and a blocked Kentucky field goal in OT) and Tennessee i...
Mike Williams, Former First Rounder in 2005, Cut By Third Team
What's worst of all about that, the Titans cut him. And the Titans have the worst receiving corps in the NFL. As if that weren't bad enough Williams was released by the Raiders last October. Since being drafted by the Detroit Lions as the 10th overall pick in the 2005 Draft, Williams has been relea...
Vince Young In Dire Need Of Media Training
Vince Young should probably just take a vow of silence or hire a full-time transcriber to follow him around when he's talking to the media, because it appears he's having trouble translating his own words. Last week, Young apparently told NFL.com writer Thomas George that he was considering retirem...
Vince Young Talks About His Rebound From NFL Joylessness
Well, Vince Young is having himself an active offseason so far. First, he had to explain himself and apologize for that shirtless night out with his Texas cronies and, now, he's admitting that the pressures of the NFL almost drove him to retire after his first season....
Pat Summitt Should Be The Next Coach Of The Knicks
We congratulate the Tennessee Volunteers — we never like calling women's college teams the "Lady" somethings — for their national championship last night. For some reason, it's a little more touching when the elderly mother of the winning coach comes down on the court when the coach is a woman. We'r...
