It would be weeks later until Chuck Cecil learned that Coach Fisher had attached the clapper to his headset just to mess with him.

 Fisher declared that Nate Washington will be ready to start on Sunday against the Texans, provided he doesn't have any setbacks this week.  This is good news as we closer and closer to seeing the passing game at full strength for the first time since all of the turnover at WR.

 Bobby Wade is headed to Kansas City, and Fisher reiterated that he's happy with the return game personnel we already have...

 ... and part of the reason for that is Ryan Mouton's rapidly improving health.  In slightly more awesome news, Jared Cook will be a go this weekend!

 Vince Young Foods has a website up... the line of meats has been out for years, but this is the first I've seen of the website.  No word yet on if the brisket is slow smoked over mesquite or a nice benchy pine.

 This article is an understatement in terms of how badly 0-2 would play around here.  This team is better than that and they can't be screwing around early on in the season.

 Paul Kuharsky isn't above borrowing from his old buddies at the Tennessean, so here's his first stock report.

 Still to low in the rankings for my Titans (though not stupid low ala Peter King), but I love Pro Football Weekly for comments like this:

8. Tennessee Titans: That's about as good as a team can look in defeat.

 Strong safety Troy Polamalu won't need surgery despite his knee being crunched by the full weight of Alge Crumpler... maybe we can make this Alge's new signature move.  Name ideas?

Willie Parker says the lack of preseason work hurt him against us last week, which is funny because I'm pretty sure it was the lack of holes and running lanes combined with an overwhelming amount of defensive penetration into the backfield that hurt him.  Who knew it was missing those silly exhibition games that resulted in that mound of suck.  Good to know.
