Tennessee Volunteers
1. The machines ... they're getting smarter. UT's freshman class has overcome being labeled "The Fab Five" by Knoxville media outlets to become a legitimate driving force on the court. Top-50 recruits Duke Crews, Wayne Chism and Ramar Smith have been particularly effective, finishing the regular sea...
NFL General Managers Make It Rain
The first twenty-four hours of the NFL's free agency period have come and gone. There was a flurry of activity last evening ... let's get ourselves caught up....
Pacman Can't Even Remember All His Arrests
Some more fun with Pacman Jones: It appears he is facing charges for obstructing police in Georgia, charges that his Titans bosses didn't even know about....
Pacman Jones' Family, They Just Don't Understand
You know, it's one thing when a drug dealer is concerned about your personal safety. But jeez, when your family is this concerned about you, jeez, it's all over....
Well, That Was A Bit Of A Letdown
Whether she was channeling Bruce Pearl or Minnie Pearl, Pat Summitt's antics before the Tennessee men's game on Tuesday was the least offensive aspect of the evening, as it turns out. When one considers that Dick Vitale was there, and that Peyton Manning was in the crowd singing, viewers should cons...
Drug Dealers Are Terrible Character Witnesses
Time for a Pacman Jones update, because now that all the newspapers are finally catching up on the story of his weekend in Vegas, we figured we should help keep them updated. (With a local TV news, of course.) Turns out, one of Pacman's buddies is a drug dealer in Tennessee, and he was taped recentl...
Ready For Some Good, Old-Fashioned College Basketball Nightmare Fuel?
Note to Bruce Pearl: There's such a thing as overselling an event, as may be the case tonight when Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt is supposed to appear at the men's game against No. 5 Florida and "do something special." Pearl (personal motto: Dignity, Always Dignity), the Tennessee m...
I Agree Completely, He Really Shouldn't Have Made It Rain
I hope that one more post doesn't overdo it on the Pacman Jones story, but I did particularly enjoy this report from WSMV in Nashville. One line in particular really does tell you all you need to know. "He shouldn't have made it rain, then." Yes....
Ghosts Closing In On Pacman Jones
So our pal Pacman Jones is still having some trouble with that whole strip club shooting in Las Vegas over the weekend. In fact, he appears to be smack in the middle of everything....
A Strip Club Incident That Might NOT Have Featured Pac Man Jones
You know, it almost seems natural: When there's a triple shooting in Las Vegas at a strip joint called Minxx Gentleman's Club, you tend to just assume Pac Man Jones was involved. (Or Stephen Jackson. Maybe Olin Kruetz.) Jones says, though, that rumors saying that he had something to do with it are f...
Well, That's One Way To Scare Off Pat Summitt's Recruits
Our longtime enmity toward Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl was founded in adolescence and is probably going to stick with us til death, even if the guy ended up taking down a squadron of Al Qaeda operatives. Sometimes, you can't shake your past....
Vince Young Cares About Your Financial Future
Now that Vince Young has proven quite clearly — once again — that Merrill Hoge is a damned fool, there's only one place left to go: To the land of prepaid debit cards!...
The Pac-Man Jones/George Jones Collaboration
Some kind of incident involving an all-terrain vehicle, Pac-Man Jones, and his neighbor, country music legend George Jones, has forged a friendship between Pac-Man and George (no relation). I expect them to release an album together very soon....
What The Kids In Nashville Are Up To
This is Tennessee Titans wide receiver Drew Bennett, from yesterday's Tennessean, reminding us once again how happy we are that they let white people play football....
Pac Man Gets His Ride Back
You might remember, about a month ago, when the car belong to Titans defensive back Pac Man Jones went up for a police auction. We wondered then who, in fact, might want a car with the official Pac Man logo stitched into the headrest....
Brandon Jacobs Is Not Impressed With The Titans
We admire Giants touchdown sponge Brandon Jacobs, not only because he went to Southern Illinois, but because he's making every person we know who drafted Tiki Barber in fantasy football want to kill themselves. (Barber still has one touchdown this year.) We admire him because he's a rookie second-...
Own Pac-Man's Car!
As anyone who has dealt with the difficult nature of car salesmen, you sometimes just don't know whom to trust. Fortunately, there's one place you know you can find a good deal on all your automobile needs: Buying cars that were once owned by troubled NFL players and have now been repossessed and ...
The Vols Aren't Taking It Well
When I saw that three Tennessee football players had been arrested, I just assumed that one of them was Pac Man Jones. It wasn't the Titans, though, it was the Volunteers, who figure if they can't beat some ass on the field, they should beat some ass in the club....
Some Fans Are, Well, "Special"
Sure, you might, on the surface, think that the University of Tennessee calling a boisterous fan at home and asking her to shut the hell up is over the top, rude and all together unacceptable. But, then again, you haven't actually heard her....
NFL Week Five, Update #1
• The Tennessee Titans, eighteen-and-a-half point underdogs, could be in the process of pulling off the upset of the freakin' decade. They lead the Colts 10-0 at the half, behind a beautiful Vince Young touchdown run and a secondary that's held Peyton Manning to 56 yards, and Marvin Harrison without...
