Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Hoping For Record Cold This Winter In America's Hat Edition

by August West on Sep 1, 2009 8:22 AM CDT in Tennessee Titans Links

Jimmy weighed in on the Dateline piece last night, and my quick thoughts are in the comments. Here, Jim Wyatt comes up with roughly the same assessment.

And so it goes: Pacman Jones is back playing football. Despite numerous blown chances and a complete inability to stay out of trouble Pac will suit up for... the Winnipeg Blue Bombers! HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!11!11!!1. Damn, that just made my day. Mainly because I still hate that jerk for ruining a high draft pick for us. Congrats on going from the self-proclaimed 'America's Team' to America's Hat.

David Climer and I actually kind of agree on something:

Mistakes cannot be totally eliminated, but there comes a point when they must be minimized. And as the Titans move toward the season opener, their No. 2 quarterback needs to quit putting himself in so many bounce-back situations.

Fisher wants the starters to play only one or two series before giving way to the guys who are fighting for the final roster spots and auditioning for other squads this week, fully aware that they'll be cut when the roster must shrink to 53.

Craig Hentrich dropped 29 lbs. in the off-season thanks to a doctor-monitored diet and a 4 week cleansing process. He says it makes him stinky, but maybe that will help ward off potential punt blockers!

This '5 things we know' format is becoming very tired. Usually because it's completely mailed in.

The Stock Report, however, I still like. Glad to see a lot more up arrows than down ones...

Outstanding Titans scribe for the AP Teresa M. Walker writes about the explosion of U-Stream, Twitter and Facebook, with Bulluck and CJ right in the middle of it.

The folks at Bodog.com say we're likely going 10-6. What do we at MCM think? Stay tuned for that prediction... remember that Jimmy nailed out scorching hot start last year and everyone called him crazy for it.

He's a very good QB, who could be great, but Matt Schaub is already hurt.

I must be crazy.....

I see us able to match last season’s record. Maybe 1 more loss this year. I don’t see Indy able to get back to 2 years ago. Of course, since I’m in Indy, my main hope is we beat them twice in 2 meaningful games this year.

Bodog

The writer at Bodog is crazy. I would bet every hair on my head that we dont start 2-4!!!! He als says that there is no way we beat Pissburg or New England, I beg to differ. Pissburg will be beaten and beaten handily!!!! We just have their number.

Someone once said "Vince Young bleeds two toned blue!" But I disagree, because The Great One Doesnt Bleed!!

10-6 or 11-5 are reasonable predictions at this point.

It’s not gonna be the same kind of season as it was last year, I don’t think, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be pretty good.

I think so too..

I think DannoE is right. 10-6 or 11-5 is a pretty reasonable prediction for right now. And I don’t think we’ll have the same success as last season, but I hope I’m wrong about that. I think we’ll still have good success though. We’ve not yet seen this team with all their starters on the field to know how good we really can be. I think after the opener we should have a much better idea. That is if pretty much all our starters play the game.

I agree with 11-5, it would be nice to do what we did last year but without Fat Albert

I don’t think that will happen. Just ask Tom Brady how good Albert is. Anyhow, 11-5 is very acceptable as long as it leads to the playoffs and a better run. I would be thrilled if it eclipses that. We shall see. It all starts next week with the Steelers and taking the Superbowl Champs out to the woodshed.

Sounds about right to me.

And, for the record, I agreed with Jimmy last year regarding the good start.

I'd watch a reality show of Pacman trying to adjust to Canada

the first thing i did when i heard the news

was check out if the bombers play the Argos in Toronto this year but their only game left against Toronto is in Winnipeg.

its too bad i wanted to go see pac in action. There are some fine gentleman clubs in Toronto… cant say the same for Winnipeg. There is not much in Winnipeg, except bitter bitter cold.
