This is the End

Well, I lost! LOL. So much for win out. Got smoked. So concludes another Fantasy season. So....now what do I talk about. Titans lost again. Resting Vanden Bosch and Haynesworth until post-season is a good idea. Time to put Vince in so he can prove to be a good offseason trade. Redskins have self destructed as predicted. Random thoughts are flowing. I am not looking forward to football season ending. The Gators are the only SEC team that I can not root for no matter what the situation.



WNT US soccer is doing well, MNT is not, as expected. I college soccer, Tar Heels and Terrapins went at it for the College Cup yesterday. WAY to go TERPS!!! Maryland beat North Carolina for the championship keeping the Tar Heels still in the hunt for their first NCAA title. We also get to welcome 2 new MLS teams to the country in the next two years. Seattle's team will join the league in 2009 and a team in Philly will join in 2010. GO American Pro Soccer.

The Tide Has Turned.







#9ALA (4-0)



49

ARK (2-1)



14

It is a welcomed event in my own personal realm of football that the Alabama Crimson Tide is on the right path again. It has been sometime, well years, well almost a decade, since the Tide has looked this good. The story is not how well they have done but what is ahead of the team that means the most. Alabama destroyed their first SEC challenge. Yes Arkansas is not the team of last year with out the running force of McFadden and Jones, but they are an SEC team. The true test happens in the next game. Alabama will have to face one of the top ranked teams in the SEC, Georgia in Georgia.

Aug. 30 vs. Clemson [ABC] W 34-10

Sept. 6 TULANE W 20-6

Sept. 13 WESTERN KENTUCKY W 41-7

Sept. 20 at Arkansas W 49-14

Sept. 27 at Georgia

Oct. 4 KENTUCKY

Oct. 18 OLE MISS

Oct. 25 at Tennessee

Nov. 1 ARKANSAS STATE

Nov. 8 at LSU

Nov. 15 MISSISSIPPI STATE

Nov. 29 AUBURN

From the looks of the current Alabama team and the way they have been playing combined with their schedule this year, the Tide should only be challenged by three teams, Georgia, LSU, and Auburn. For the first time in years the VOLS are no longer on the list of teams Bama would have a hard time with. Knowing the SEC anything could happen, but in this writers opinion at worst the Tide will lose three games all year with all three being conference losses. The best case, which I am pulling for, would be to see the Tide again in Atlanta for the SEC championship game, most likely against Florida. Florida again looks to be the SEC team to beat. Georgia is a top team but something in me says they will blow it this year. But again this is my opinion; if you do not agree then let me know your thoughts on why I am way off in my thinking.

Hello....homework!!!

Does anyone do their homework any more? Ocho Cinco, his agent, his Publicist, and others couldn't have found out before the name change, as well as NFL officials, that it would be a Ocho No-No conflict? Reebok has many, many dollars keeping Chad from pulling his plan off. First try did not work and second attempt looks like it is going to fail as well. OK, my point is that the NFL is one of the biggest companies in the world and no one felt this out? I mean, it changed his name on my fantasy league. It's not like that happens without some effort from some IT Cronies slaving away, making big bucks just to change it all back. I play fantasy football on NFL network. You don't think that their IT guys are making good money just to change that name back? I have seen at least six articles about this completely unworthy sports news story to ever hit the NFL news circuit. Also, why did Reebok wait until his name was changed to protest? As my links show, it was common knowledge. This is all a very trumped up attempt to sell more jerseys and make more money for folks that have to much already. At least I have started the number one sleeper in fantasy football(not just my opinion), Chris Johnson, against Cincinnati and their silly receiver. Also, the authors of this blog are playing each other in fantasy football this weekend and my opponent has Ocho No-No as a WR. I will update on the results. Should be a good event considering how competitive we are.

When to say "when"


2000 AFC CHAMPIONS


When do we say “when”

It’s midnight in Nashville, TN. Most people are finishing up a great division rival game on Monday Night Football after watching the cities “Golden Boy” from Vanderbilt show why he is the only QB from his draft class that has class. Well… all except our Head Coach Jeff Fisher. He is at the sports park watching the Metro police search his starting quarterback’s SUV and finding a weapon (thank goodness it wasn’t loaded) then questioning him on his whereabouts for the last 5 hours.

Eating chicken wings and watching football…….WHAT????????

People in his own family were so concerned with him not showing up for his MRI and later storming off from his home without his cell phone to call his coach. Knowing the mental state of his quarterback after the whole world watched him act like a child on the sidelines after being booed, his coach called the police to find him with deep concern for his well being knowing that his action would be broadcast all over the world, embarrass his team further and the best we get is…

Eating chicken wings and watching football…….WHAT????????

I SAY “WHEN”!!! Enough is enough!!! Didn’t we, as Titans fans, just get over being the wiping boy for the nation over Pacman? At least he was getting in trouble for being a “BALLER”. The maturity issue with Vince Young is something that is not news to those that love and follow their team. He has always been a big baby. Even back in college, when asked about mistakes he has made on the field, he would take it very personally and react as such. Usually not even answering the question. I understand if a person has some mental disability and needs help and can not function properly in society. I can understand being put under a microscope and getting picked by the vultures having an affect on anyone. What I can’t understand is why he is allowed to single handedly destroy a team that, because of the find of Chris “fastest man in the NFL” Johnson and an even tougher defense this year thru smart offseason decisions, could challenge for the division title.

“It has been tried!!” is my answer to almost every response I’ve heard from the VY camp. He needs help. Professional help!!!! It is time!!! Time to say WHEN !!!! Let’s get on with football. Let’s find another quarterback, let’s start Colins and lets go get that Division Title.


GO TITANS
