Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Chuck Cecil Isn't Too Vicious For The College Football Hall Of Fame Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Congratulations to Chuck Cecil for being inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame on Tuesday.  Cecil was an All-American defensive back at Arizona State University in the mid-1980's, and certainly deserves to be remembered among the elite college players of all time (note: if you're going to click on this link, get ready for a very sad aside covering Chris Spielman).

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Terry McCormick looks at the Titans' playoff chances, which we posted on Sunday night.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Boom King may not be getting it done on the field quite like he has in the past, but he's still leading the way in community work, and that's why he's been announced as the 2009 Titans Walter Payton Man of the Year Award winner.  This puts him in the running for the league-wide version of the award.

Follow us through the jump for more slim pickens'...

Star-divide

Tennessee_titans_30x21 If you're coming to the game Sunday, bring a toy for needy kids or gramsey and his fellow Marines will drop the hammer!

Tennessee_titans_30x21 If Jim Wyatt and crew ever knew 4 or 7 things about the Titans the whole sports section of their site might just implode.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Here's the primary reasoning for why CJ couldn't be the MVP even if he breaks 2,000 yards: the MVP should go to the best player on the best team, rather than the best player in the league.  I personally think that's a load of crap, and that it completely misses the fact that football is the greatest team sport in the world.  I mean, this is what we mock and complain about with the Heisman Trophy, isn't it?

Tennessee_titans_30x21 The only way you can make this case and not be laughed at by me is if you are blind, or continually blindfolded.  Also, the thing they're misrepresenting about the their 'mystery quarterback' is that he needed some tweaks on his largely excellent mechanics (as opposed to a complete overhaul), and that QB had 6 between graduating from college being a successful starter in the NFL.

I wouldn't bother with a fine

I’d just flat out suspend him, but I’m old school.

suspend him for what?

I know he is a crazy self promoter but his antics don’t endanger anyone or the game. Suspensions are for players that push refs or stomp heads.

Suspended

for repeated excessive Clowning Detrimental to the Integrity of the Sport. A CDIS suspension. Also known as an Asshat suspension.

I'm with you

It was funny the first few times. Now he’s just acting like a douche.

I still think VY should change his name to "Uno-Zero"...(lol)

but c’mon man!!…..that whole big hat thing has got to go!!

suspend him for constantly violating the same rule

the NFL has to show that you can’t flaunt the rules with impunity.

I swear, August and Gramsey are like 80 year old farts sometimes

“FIsher is a traitor!! It hurts the teams honor!!”
“You never go for it on 4th Down!! Damn yer new-fangled stats and math!! We didnt need no math in my day!”
“Suspend him! Anyone who dresses like a Mexican in the sacred NFL should be suspended for violating the sacredness of this sacred game!!”
“Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra are way better than all these new fangled Michael Jackson fairies we have nowadays!”

Chuck Berry > Elvis

Rock n’ Roll only has one king, and it sure certainly isn’t a guy who could barely play a guitar and never wrote a song.

I am on board with this

Elvis was the marketing campaign for Rock and Roll to white people. Chuck Berry>>> Elvis

Some of the stories of Chuck Berry and his road exploitations make Tiger Woods look tame (unintended pun there).

by T--Rac's Posse on Dec 9, 2009 1:21 PM CST up reply actions  

Which is funny...

Since a large chunk of Elvis’ work is now firmly within the bounds of Country music.

Hey I don't think there should be all of the rules regarding celebrations

but if they’re there they need to be enforced at an effective level. I’m all for a baseball-type honor code: you celebrate in my endzone, and I’ll knock you into next week the next time you aren’t looking.

It's not like this stuff is running rampant through the NFL.

The dude was having fun, so what.

I thought the sombrero was funny. 30K seems a little excessive. But If you want to get these guys to stop doing dumb stuff stop fining then and just penalize the team. They’ll stop then.

"Hood deserves respect..."

Good to see this opinion is going beyond these boards.

Harper shouldn’t lose his spot to injury, but Hood should lose his to a POS like Harper?

OK, new non-Titan related topic

How great would it be if Jax waste their first round pick on Tebow? The writer of the linked article above obviously has a serious man crush on TT. I can agree that he has been a terrific team leader and probably in the all time top five greatest college football players ever. With that said, his arm strength is average, not much foot speed and very long throwing motion. I am guessing that NFL linebackers would love getting mutiple shots at blasting him while he tried running from the QB spot.

If its OK to insert a Titans-related post here

The Tennessean Five Things article does make a good point that our D has had a bad turnover drought in the last few games.

Ever since they took Hood out.

by JimR on Dec 9, 2009 1:31 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Though I'll say

an undetermined amount of that has to do with facing much, much better passing teams than we did over that three week stretch…

Agree

I didn’t mean it was all Hood, but I think it is one of several factors.
