Terry McCormick caught up with Keith Bulluck and delivers an update on K-Bull's situation: Bulluck says the surgery that repaired his ACL went well, and he's expecting an 8-10 month rehab process. Also, both Fisher and Bulluck have stated that they really want to make this work, which just makes this whole thing feel even more like we're kids stuck in the middle of a divorce.
Also news in that link is that Cortland Finnegan is working in the off-season to be ready to play both sides of the field next year. That way, no matter where teams line-up their best weapon, Cort can follow suit. This will be especially critical as we break-in Harper's replacement.
The Fifth Down Blog at the NYT unearthed another gem about Chris Johnson's season: he finished with the second largest gap between himself and the league's second leading rusher. CJ led by 590 yards which was bested only by OJ in his 2,000 yard season, when he won by 859 yards.
Business Tennessee is running a profile on Kevin Mawae's career and his role as President of the NFLPA as the owners and the union continue to dig-in for a long fight between billionaires and millionaires. Coincidentally, the resulting strike may be the first lose, lose, lose situation not spear-headed by Michael Scott.
Follow us through the jump for off-setting wins...
Everybody has heard that CJ gave the O-linemen customized Rolexes, but he also wants them to accompany him to the Pro Bowl in Miami in a few weeks since they got shafted in the popularity contest that is O-Line voting.
If I'm the O-line though, I'm sitting at home praying to something that this doesn't happen. Munch deserves it, but I'm gonna be sick if he leaves.
I'm already pouring over signage ideas for Big Albert's return next year. He better not pull up lame with an injury next year because Mike Shanahan actually makes him run...
Pretty good summation of the season from humiliating beginning to jubilant end here from George Robinson of the Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle (which, oddly enough, does not chronicle leaves. discuss.):
There's been bad play, bad coaching decisions, poor execution, and a lack of preparation that helped the 0-6 start.
There's also the highlight reel, jaw-dropping moments that saved the latter half of the year, and that started with the redemption of quarterback Vince Young.
Have love, need links more than ever now that the off-season is upon us :-( mcmaugustwest@gmail.com.

Happy feelings....
If we can get Bulluck back and Finnegan figures out how to play both sides of the field and it sounds like Fisher will be back too. Which I’m totally content with.
It's hard to see what Bulluck's choices are.
Who’s gonna pay a 32-year-old FA a lot of money to come in probably Week 4 or so and even then not hit his stride until late in the year or the playoffs—if at all? If he hadn’t gotten hurt, I’d have rated his chances at getting re-signed pretty low. As is… honestly, he’ll be lucky to be back in the League next year, and I think he probably knows that. With that said, he could still probably have at least two productive years left, though neither of those will be the 2010 season.
Anyway, Tennessee seems the logical choice. I don’t know who else would pay him for his time.

I think it's wait and see..
The injury was a blessing in disguise for us to get him re-signed. I think he will recover and be ready for the 2010 season or maybe miss a few games. There are a few players who suffer this injury and rebound from it just fine and even a couple who have been ready to return a little earlier than expected. I feel like K-Bull will one of those players.
Don Banks at SI.com wrote this moments ago, sounds like BS:
And don’t discount Tennessee’s Jeff Fisher as a potential player in the Cowboys coaching sweepstakes. As one league observer noted to me Monday morning, Fisher could still emerge as a surprise entry, finding a way to end his 16-year tenure to pursue openings in either Dallas or Chicago, should they occur. Fisher, who played in Chicago and coached in Houston, could very well view the Cowboys and Bears as upgrades over his current gig with the Titans, where he has come close to wearing out his welcome over the years.

On the Forecheck is SB Nation's blog covering the Nashville Predators.

The Cowboys would love to have him.
Beyond that, I don’t see it. For a variety of reasons, not least of which is that Fisher wants control of personel, and J. Jones would never give that up.

Was this written three weeks ago or something?
Wade Philips has the Cowboys playing like true contenders right now. If he logs a couple January wins, this will be a moot point.
"And with the 15th pick, the Tennessee Titans select..."
Keith Bulluck is a wonderful player, his injury will slow him in the first half of the
year, but as dedicated as he is, I beleive he will be able to recover and do a great job after that. He is a great example of what an NFL player should be.
Fisher denied the Texans request to interview Munchak…
… that doesn’t seem like something Fisher would normally do. I’ll bet Munchak told Fisher that he was happy in Tennessee and didn’t want to leave. But if he himself refuses to interview for this job, he might hurt him down the road. So in order to protect himself against hurting his own future job prospects, he asked Fisher to announce that the team was denying to let the Texans talk to Munchak.
I think if Munch ever wants to be something higher than an O-line coach, he wants to do it in Tennessee. My gut tells me he just wants to coach the OL his whole coaching career…
I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...
