Titans v Bears game

Titans and pumpkins

Great game and win or the Titans

Nashville/Titans weekend!

As you can see had quite the crazy weekend in Nashville. Hung out with Aaron and Misty and their friends and had a great time. Well deserved, no holds bar football, drinking fest, ha. Coming back to the real world sucked, as they say, work hard and play hard.

The Titans game was unreal! We thought it would be a good idea to leave with the Titans up by 2 TDs with 2 mins left. Oops, what a horrible idea. Fortunately, the largest outdoor screens in the NFL made watching the end of the game on the bridge with 10k other early exiters just as fun. I even left the game with a new client.

Titans won 44-41 in overtime with a 3 and stopped the Lions inside our 10 on 4th and inches. Titans set an NFL record with 5 TDs over 60 yards, what a game!

Yes it was all about the socks!

My amazing Xmas gifts!

I have always wanted to take a picture of my gifts and this year I finally did it, and Mako helped! I plan to do this for the rest of my life. Maybe I get a little more clever with it too.

Sunday work + football

First to the shop again today. Painted and put up some lights.

Then home for the Titans! Yeah I'm crazy, and it worked! We won!

Titans!!

Picked a great day to wear my newest CJ jersey. He had 190 yards. Hopefully
he keeps it up! Titans beat the bucs in a up an down game today!

Football Sunday!

Titans v. Browns and Lions v. Cowboys!

Titans killed it again! 31-13 over the browns in Cleveland.

Titans v Bears preseason game

They win again. Mary is on a roll now. She hasn't seen them lose!

Welcome Matt Hasselback!

Titans scooped up a much needed veteran QB in Matt Hasselback just now! Excited to see the outcome. Titans have a very tough season ahead of them at least this is one small positive light.

Kenny Britt...

Kenny Britt has found himself in more trouble so it inspired me to poke a little fun at him with the illustration below.

The Titans 2011 newest edition

The 2011 draft kicked off lastnight. The Titans had pick 8 and all the big draft "experts" had us taking DT Nick Fairley. I would of been happy with this pick but from my point of view, without Vince Young, a QB was a pretty big concern. When Roger Goodell said, "with the 8th pick the Tennessee Titans pick, Jake Locker." My jaw hit the floor.

I seems to be a good pick. I'm excited to see what happens.

Titans going in a new direction...finally!

Welp, after a mediocre career as the Titans head coach, Jeff Fisher and the Titans have parted ways. He was 142-120 in the regular season, going 5-6 in the postseason and won the 1999 AFC Championship only to lose in the Superbowl by 1 yard. Don't let those numbers be deceiving, out of his 17 seasons coaching he only had 6 winning seasons with 5 .500 seasons. It was definitely time for a change and I'm extremely happy and optimistic about the Titans future.

Out with the old and in with the... promoting current staff. Mike Munchak former Titans offensive line coach is now our head coach. He is a former guard who played for the Houston Oilers. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2001. He also played college football for Penn State University. He was a first round pick in the 1982 draft at the 8th overall. He also 9 time pro bowler. Seems he knows his football. Hopefully this brightens our future and wasn't just a quick fix on Bud Adam's side.

I'm not expected a playoff season next year but of course my expectations are high but I'm a homer. I just hope we don't go 2-15 or something horrible. Time will tell and I hope he can get the job done.

So long Vince...

Welp it's been a long time, something had to happen. It finally did Wednesday night. The Titans announce they will no longer move forward with Vince Young. News I figured was coming but wasn't looking forward too. Bud Adams, the owner, was a huge fan of VY, but it was obvious Fisher hated him, never wanted him. It's just hard to understand, VY has a winning record, the guy produces wins. It's that the bottom line in the NFL? "They won, but..." Does that matter? If you look at any other team, especially ones with 5+ game losing streaks, how long do those coaches last? Fisher needs to go. We need a change. 16 seasons of producing nothing but a single superbowl VISIT, history of pissing off players and the extinct fisherball. If Fisher ends up somewhere else and produces some sort of championship I'll shockingly eat my crow and think what if. It just drives me crazy hearing all this people (sports personalities and local fans) that aren't 24/7 Titans fans saying Fisher is an awesome coach and folks are crazy for wanting to get ride of him, guys pull your head outta your ass and wake up! Anyways, I could go on and on but, I was just very disappointed with the news of VY out and Fisher staying (as of now Fisher's future hasn't been announced).

The world is so blind to Fisher

Vince Young is done.

I still don't get it. Why in the world do fans boo their team and players? I have been to a lot of professional games in my life and have seen the home team fans boo their team and I just don't understand. VY was boo'd on Sunday after a failure on a 3rd down conversion. Are these fans booing the play call, the player, the coaches? Could they do better if put in that situation? It's just so idiotic and drives me crazy. Sure I get upset that the offense couldn't stay on the field but I have NEVER and will NEVER boo my team or players. It's a sport, a game of chance. A lot goes into a play, a lot has to happen for it to be successful. Do these "fans" not understand that? It's just so much more constructive to boo them then to clap for the try and move on to cheer for the defense. Come on fans knock it off.

Anyways... Vince hurt his thumb on his throwing hand after launching a great pass to Washington (Hey boo birds! Was that good enough for you?!). He comes off the field and goes into the locked room but is back on the field in no time, throwing the ball. With Collins hurt we have to go with our 3rd stringer in a tied game. Rusty Smith. He looked ok, threw one INT on a long ball and out come the negative nancys. This was after a great long pass as well. Well VY never came back in.

After the game Vince threw his passes and jersey into the crowd in frustration...I guess (cool souvenir for a fan). Next it was said that Vince was talking during Fisher's post game address to the team. Fisher told Vince to knock it off and Vince got up changed and started walking out. "You can't just walk out on your teammates, " Fisher said. "I'm not, I'm walking out on you," Young responded and he left. All kinds of rumors and talk has broken out since. Fire Fisher, Fire Young... blah blah.

As of now Young is done for the season with the thumb injury and Rusty will be starting until Collins is healthy. We start the make or break part of our season this weekend with 5 of the 6 games being divisional. I don't expect much after watching the team fall apart this season. I just hope we don't get embarrassed to bad.

GO TITANS!

Relaxed weekend in pictures

Watch The Last AirBender
It was on the lower end of ok.

Watched the vols smack down Ole Miss
Dad, Jim and James were there

Played a lot of iPhone BlackJack

Cooked a nice steak dinner (Sat & Sun!).
Opened the Jaqk Cellars wine too. Delicious!

Watched the Titans and Moss's debut
Sucked!

Hung out with the pups.
Play with the new Hipstamtic lens too.

Randy Moss is a Titan!

Hall of fame bound wide receiver Randy Moss will be rocking his 3nd different NFL team's jersey next weekend when he takes the field against the Dolphins as a Tennessee Titan! I'm still in shock! The Titans passed on Moss in the 1998 draft for Kevin Dyson as the 14th pick overall. Ironically 14 teams passed on Moss yesterday before he fell to the Titans.

This is huge for us, just huge! With Britt being hurt, leaving the field after playing like a beast, this is music to our ears. Us fans really are expected the best from Moss! VY, CJ and Moss?! Fastest offense in the league? CJ could have quite a jump in production with Moss on the field. Seems Dinger and Fisher have finally realized VY's throwing potential so what better time to have one of the BEST WRs in the league?!

Next Sunday is going to take forever to get here now!

Annual Titans trip

Yup, drove straight to Whichwich for lunch on Vandy campus as usual. Enjoied possibly the BEST sandwich known to man, the Wicked! 5 meats, 3 cheeses, buffalo sauce, ranch, and parmesan. So amazing! Mary got a turkey and cheese which looked equally amazing.

After we headed to the hotel.

LP Field on Saturday!

They were totally full from the night before and still cleaning so we couldn't check in yet so we just walked downtown for a drink and some shopping. It was a super strange atmosphere. With all the Eagles fans in town and the Phillies playing their biggest game of the season that night everyone was rockin Phillies gear, including me!

Unfortunately they last ending their season, I could of been taken as a sign of immediate things to come! :)

In our seats!

We headed over to they tailgate with the GoTitans crew. They make some AWESOME food! The had Eagle nuggets (hot wings)! Caught up with everyone, knocked back a few and headed over the the stadium to meet up with Arron and Misty. We hung out next to the outside band, drank the rest of my 12 pack and headed to our seats. We made plans to meet up after and head to Bailey's for drinks and the 4 o'clock games.

After the win!

Mary is 4-0 at regular season Titans games! 5-0 at this field and 5-1 lifetime. It wasn't looking good but they pulled it out. Britt had a breakout game! 7 catches, 225 yards and 3 TDs! It was a really awesome game. It was 10-13 Eagles going into the 4th and we put up 27 points and they only managed 3! 37-19 victory. Only thing that sucked was Vince and Vick were both hurt and did not play.

So we headed to Bailey's after the game to reconnected with Arron and Misty. I was ready to drink again as my buzz was wearing off. I have developed a routine for the games. Get a ton of beer down before the game and let that set in. As the game gets close to the end I'm feeling soberish and can concentrate on the end of the game. They managed to get a table and the drinking began. Mary did shots with us, it was great. Arron had a Bailey's card so our wings were half price and we got a free shirt! We dropped a bill that night but who cares?! It was a great time with some great people! Look forward to doing it again!

The 2010 Titans

I have been watching all the teams games and paying close attention to them, just having had time to write about it. (Note to self, set up a time to actually write your blog once a week at least!) Anyways, we have 3 games under our belts and are looking ok. Still have some room to improve. Looked good against the Raiders (win), looks HORRIBLE against the Steelers (lost, but its hard to win with 6 turnovers!), and looked descent against the Giants (win, but mostly due to Giant turnovers).

Johnson isn't on track for his 2500 yards but does rank 5th in the league right now after 3 games with 301 yards. Whats crazy is former Vol Arian Foster has 406 and leading the league with the Texans.

Titans are 7th in overall defense which is shocking. I believe once they get a bit more team on the field they will move up to a top 5 D.



Cool to see there's still love for Keith Bulluck, whatever the reason he isn't a Titan. Very strange to see him on the other side of the ball after 10 years of Titans service.
