The Longest Mock Draft in NFL History Continues... I?ve been a little slow getting these things out recently. Not to make excuses, but I've had a few personal situations over the last week and just haven?t had the drive to spit these things out. Hopefully, now that everything is kind of behind me, I can start shooting the rest of the picks out in rapid-fire mode.After all, the real draft is just around the corner! Pick No. 24: Tennessee TitansI?ve made no bones about the fact that I think Vince Young is overrated.He isn?t a great passer, in the NFL he can be contained, and he doesn?t throw or score touchdowns. His production numbers were so bad ...
In The Red Zone: Are Patriots Pacman Jonesing?
2008-03-22 15:00:00 Two weeks ago we reported that the New England Patriots had some possible interest in suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones along with several other teams. I even mentioned in the comments for the post that I thought it was a case of the Patriots brass, Scott Pioli and Bill Belichick, doing their due diligence in the situation. Well now it has apparently turned out that New England, along with Dallas and Detroit, may actually be doing more than just kicking the tires. John Tomase of the Boston Herald has a quote from Jones agent Manny Arora on the situation. “Tennessee has said publicly that they’re considering all their options, including a trade. If Tennessee decides there is going to be a trade, New England would be a very good fit for us. The reason for that is great leadership, strong coaching and a winning tradition.” “Over my years representing athletes and being a lawyer, as long as you’re winning, all the baggage...

In The Red Zone: Patriots Considering Pacman
2008-03-09 02:00:00 The New England Patriots are reportedly interested in Tennessee Titans cornerback/suspended bad boy Adam “Pacman” Jones. Detroit, Oakland, Kansas City, Houston, New Orleans and Dallas are among those to also have expressed at least some level of interest. Jones, who was suspended all of last season, could come up for review for re-instatement prior to the NFL Draft in April. Jones who was the 6th overall pick in the 2005 draft is considered a top cover corner and is an extremely dangerous punt returner. But he is becoming more well known for his off field behavior than his actions on Sundays. He’s been arrested six times since being drafted by the Titans and was at the center of a Las Vegas strip club melee in February 2007 that left a man paralyzed. He’s currently serving three years probation, stemming from an incident in Fayette County, Ga., where he was alleged to have bitten a police officer’s hand. So the questions begs to be asked.

Breaking News: Patriots Sign Tank Williams
2008-03-05 23:00:00 The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that the New England Patriots have signed safety Tank Williams to a one-year deal. The contract terms were not disclosed. Williams played with the Minnesota Vikings for the past two seasons. He spent the first four years of his career in a Tennessee Titans uniform. I’d have to think that with this signing, the Patriots do not anticipate re-signing Eugene Wilson.

A win, coupled with INDY's loss would have put them in a tie for first, but as it is they simply had a 3 game winning streak broken. Their defense has been playing tremendously lately, though they suffered a letdown in the JAX game. Ranked 4th against the rush and 7th against the pass, the Titans will come to Denver as the #2 Defense in the AFC. No small potatoes there. Our offense should have its work cut out for it.

He played five seasons there and 13 games for Indianapolis in 2005, registering 32 career sacks and 312 tackles.>>WaneTVCorey was once a premier talent in the league, but has not had a sack since leaving the Eagles.

Halloween Horror Nights was pretty entertaining ..... you should definitely make the trip, but invest in the express pass, we suffered by not doing it. So apparently the Bucs feel they have enough RB depth as of right now as they released Rookie RB Kenneth Darby yesterday. They'll probably re-assign him to the Practice Squad if no other team claims him off waivers. They have promoted RB Lionel Gates in his place. Darby must have pissed somebody off in the organization or he had to of gained 50 pounds since the Pre-Season, because he looked pretty impressive in the Pre-Season and now he's being replaced by Lionel Gates, yuck!

2007-08-25 01:25:00 17 vs 28 FINAL SCORE Game Preview :: Music City Miracles Update [2007-8-24 22:3:53 by Brian G]: This one has gone final. The Bills drop a 28-17 decision to fall to 1-2 this pre-season. There were players that played well and players who were downright awful.

Fantasy Football Tips - Tennessee Titans ADP
2007-08-24 17:49:00 With many fantasy experts expecting Titans' QB Vince Young to be a Top 10 QB, and I believe Chris Liss of Rotowire has him Top 5, I decided to take a look at how the regular fantasy football community is valuing not only Vince Young, but his supporting cast. If Young is going to move into the Top 10, he is going to have some coattails and bring a teammate or two with him. Based on Percent Drafted (%D), WR Brandon Jones (47.4%) and TE Ben Troupe (25.2%) are the favorites over TE Bo Scaife (12%) and WR Eric Moulds (3.5%). According to K.C. Joyners Scs% statistic, Eric Moulds had the best rate amongst 66 WR qualifiers in 2006 with a 79.7% catch rate. I'd take Jones over him if given the option, but Moulds ability to catch what is thrown to him may temper Jones' yardage totals. At TE, Troupe is the better known name, but there is no way I would select ahead of Scaife - Young's TE at Texas in 2005. Joyner's Scientific Footabll 2007 expects more from Scaife as do the KUBIAK projectio...

USC's Pete Caroll On ND's Charlie Weis: "He's A Jerk" - Also Dishes On Norm
2007-07-09 01:39:00 I just returned from the local Gold's Gym in Oakland where I work out and ran into a friend who's a big USC fan, alumn, and donor, on top of being a big exec at a national retailer. Since I'm a Cal fan, we've had a few nice ribbing sessions. The point being, she's got know reason to make up what I'm about to report, asked the questions herself, and when I asked her if she would mind that I blog this, her response was "go ahead."So that's what I'm doing. On May 22nd, my friend attended a USC Alumni event in Southern California where USC Football Coach Pete Carroll was the featured guest. After an evening of drinks and food, there was a question and answer session with Coach Carroll. I proded her to tell me about it while we were streching, and so after some consistent coaxing, she did.She said that she and Coach Carroll got along famously well "I think he seemed to like me," she said.

I accept the discipline that's been imposed on me and I am withdrawing my appeal."Neither the NFL nor the Titans c...
Mutual Interest Between Titans & Keyshawn Johnson
2007-05-18 17:16:00 Mutual Interest Between Titans, KeyshawnBy TERESA M. WALKERAP Sports WriterNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans need an experienced receiver to help Vince Young, and said Thursday they are interested in veteran Keyshawn Johnson. "There's mutual interest I'd say right now," coach Jeff Fisher said. "I think we'll probably look into the possibility of pursuing things. Where that goes, I can't tell you."Johnson will visit the Titans on Friday. His relationship with Fisher goes back to Southern California, when the coach played for the Trojans and Johnson was a ball boy."I know Jeff, but I don't know the organization and I don't know the makeup of the team and the coaching staff. I know a little bit about Norm Chow. I know Norm from college.

Michael Turner's Price Tag Still Two Draft Picks
2007-04-18 23:05:00 If you are like me, you are craving NFL news. The hottest topic this month has been Michael Turner, who I wrote about before.It's tough to say if he will be traded, there is no rush or need to. At least, for the Chargers.
