I have no idea who Vincent Troia is, but it's not everyday you see a Nashville paper run a commentary with the headline "For Titans to win a Super Bowl, Fisher has to go". I mean it's no surprise that this was written by someone who will almost certainly never need locker room access or press credentials. It's the same points that have been debated a billion times on MCM, but it just feels more legitimate coming from a news paper!

CJ2K didn't have a huge day in the Pro Bowl, but he did score the game winning TD. VY looked below mediocre, but he's not the kind of guy who's suited to do well in that type of low-intesity, non-game planning situation (see: every pre-season game he's every played).
Adrian Peterson called Chris Johnson the second best back in the NFL, he then dropped the nearest football because someone two blocks away coughed. Adrian Peterson has about as many career fumbles as he does receptions. Adrian Peterson orders his gloves from Crisco. Cathedrals across Minnesota have quit ringing their bells for mass in the fall, they just wait for Adrian Peterson to fumble again. In terms of ball security, Adrian Peterson makes Tiki Barber look like Chris Johnson.
Kevin Mawae made his goal of starting in the Pro Bowl (and lets be honest, being the first alternate makes him one of the most deserving guys to lay yesterday), and thanks to the victory, pocketed an extra $45,000. The losing NFC team still cleared a nice $22,500.
T-Rac (sans Posse) makes Deadspin.com for his Pro Bowl sight-seeing while sitting along side that Jags mascot that looks like Chester Cheetos with jaundice.
Here's the full All-Decade list from the NFL. No big surprises, and Mawae remains the only long-term Titan on the list, but the one that made me stand-up and clap was former Titans Lorenzo Neal. At least this somewhat makes up for all of those Pro Bowls he got robbed of because he didn't get the carries.
Just in case you were afraid that the Pro Bowl counted for anything, Matt Schaub won the MVP. That's a good indication that this was as important as the Hall of Fame game was for us.
Hot off the presses, PFW has the complete invite list for the Combine. I didn't see any glaring omissions, but let us know in the comments if you see someone they clearly missed (there's always a few).

at being in the military...yes and I am very thankful for that
but at football…no, not even close

BOOYAH!

"What if I was Peyton Manning?"- CJ to the ref after they picked up a personal foul flag for a late hit on him.
Ummmmm
Not good enough to be a factor in the passing game or to carry the ball.
And both have blocked exceptionally. Added offensive dimension=Ahmard Hall.

Ahmard Hall just fumbled after a big gain
Again

At least twice

Boom twice

3 times
Which is more than CJ had in 30 times more touches
and percentage wise more than AP
BOOM

So that causes me to lowercase the “boom”
Thanks Wikipedia

So CJ and AP are both better backs than Ahmard Hall
I agree with that. Not sure that was the argument, but OK.
Official MCM Hater!
Not the argument
the argument was that 3 fumbles in 13 touches was way too many fumbles. I compared him to CJ b/c CJ had way more touches and fewer fumbles. I compared him to AP b/c everyone thinks he fumbles all the time.

I guess all the revisionist history is gonna beat me on this one.

I'm still in your corner, dude :-)
but I agree with them.

Dude, it's simple math:
Eddie George + Lorenzo Neal = NFL’s best rushing attack.
Eddie George – Lorenzo Neal = Eddie looks old.
Also:
Ladanian Tomlinson + Lorenzo Neal = NFL’s best rushing attack
Ladanian Tomlinson – Lorenzo Neal = LT looks old.

Chris Johnson 5th best rushing season ever

And Ahmard had nothing to do with that?
What is it that makes you love Neal so much?
Official MCM Hater!
The fact that he has blocked for the NFL's best rusher TWICE on two totally different teams.

And BTW, he made that other FB in Baltimore look pretty good last year (2008), too.

Deadspin.com??
T-Rac doesn’t care about that…he thinks mascots are over-rated….BTW, Chester Cheetos with jaundice…I just spewed coffee all over my keyboard…thanks alot.
AP is certifiably insane...
I know that they are different types of runners and they have different skill sets but CJ is far and beyond the best RB in the league. You aren’t second best when you break 2,000 yds in your second season. AP is not on the same level as CJ…he cant run as well as CJ, cant catch as well as CJ….and definitely cant do the Choppa City Juke as well as CJ….he just needs to wrap it up….

AP is not even the best running back in the NFC
by mississippisaintsfan on Feb 1, 2010 10:13 AM CST reply actions
Or on his team
Chester Taylor is a better reciever out of the backfield and doesn’t habitually fumble in key situations.
