Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Lil' Wayne Wouldn't Play 1930's Baseball Anyways Edition

Crazy Legs explained to fans and journalists that he's completely team-first, and that his cockiness shouldn't be mistaken for selfishness. Looking at everything he's said and done so far I'd agree. Football is supposed to be fun, boisterous and joyous. This isn't 1930's baseball, folks.

Did Lil' Wayne take Chris Davis' spot on the roster?

I'd like to extend a particularly offensive finger to the Tennessean for playing This is Your Life with Keith Bulluck, and there by making it sound like an obituary for his career in Tennessee. Do I know this might happen? Yes, but please don't make me deal with it this early, man. That's very un-dude.

The Titans ended their OTAs on Friday, despite having two more days of practice available under the CBA. Jeff Fisher says the idea is to not wear the guys down (especially important since we have 5 preseason games this year), and to encourage guys to come to the facility on their own accord. How was it received by the team? Not a single session had to be made mandatory, mostly because attendance was so good.

Which Titans rookies have the best chance to contribute right away? Jared Cook should be on this list, if he's going to be worth next year's 2nd rounder...

Here's David Climer doing what he does best the most: poop on the Titans' parade. Of course to do so he cites a guy who isn't a Titan, and two players who didn't say a thing that put themselves ahead of the team (despite trying to spin it that way). Needless to say, this is vintage Climer.

The journalistic obsession with the Wildcat continues, despite that fact that nobody could run it with success by the end of the season. Offensive revolutions should usually take more than three months to figure out and nullify. I mean even Renee Zellweger had more sustained success than three months, and she's just awful.

Now that the slower period of the off-season is upon us your help in finding out of the way Titans stories is more important than ever.

Someone

should put together an open letter to Climer like the one that was done to VY in the fan posts. Let him know that the quality of his journalism skills makes for an excellent lining for bird cages and “puppy pads”

its obvious

that he has no clue what it’s like to be on a sports team. the fact that lendale and cj are going back and forth is an example of how CLOSE they are, not some indicator of a pending family feud. it’s clearly two guys busting each others’ chops just for the fun of it. this kind of thing happens ALL THE TIME in close knit groups of young adult males, whether it’s teammates or drinking buddies. trying to paint this as some kind of potential distraction or soap opera is just stupid, and consequently, exactly what i would expect climer to do.

now i personally would like to hear a little less mouth across the board from our guys (esp. at the rb position), but thats just my personal preference. but i also understand that it’s june, and boys will be boys. waaaaay too early to start questioning their focus, especially when we are talking about a brilliant talent like cj and a guy like lendale who has already shown more dedication to getting his weight under control this year than all previous offseasons combined. get a clue climer, and better yet, maybe a drinking buddy or two. you seem to be in serious need of some bro time.

Weezy

I was wondering the same thing about Chris Davis. Holy Crap he looks like Lil Wayne (how unfortunate).

Also, about Cook, I think that’s the sign of a poorly written article. I believe he will have a good chance to make an impact this year. As long as he can lineup in the right spot, I believe Dinger will be anxious to use him.
