Tennessee Titans Daily Links: If Only He Was CJ37206 Edition

Andrew Brandt dives in deep on Chris Johnson's contract, including the encouraging tidbit that CJ will lose $250,000 if he fails to attend 30 of the Titans' 36 offseason workouts. That means CJ is likely to stay in Nashville next offseason, rather than workout in Orlando like he has been doing for the past few years. When you add that to Kenny Britt's decision to buy a house in town and get a local agent, I'm already excited about next season. Paul K also has comments from CJ on this part of his contract:
"I plan on being here in the offseason and getting my workouts with the team and things like that," he said. "It's not been about just hanging out in Orlando. I have a lot of charity events and a lot of things I have to go to. There were a lot of times when I was missing time here not just really to hang out.
"It's shorter [under the new CBA]. I won't say it's not a big commitment. It's still a commitment. That's one of the things about being a bigger leader, I want to be there with my teammates."
Fox is home to the most idiotic collection of broadcast professionals that have ever been assembled (note: this has nothing to do with the news channel). Not only did they botch landing Conan because a group of mouth-breathing imbeciles drafted their contracts with local stations leaving them unable to secure enough affiliates, they also canceled Family Guy, Futurama AND Arrested Development while allowing the Simpsons to stay on 10 years after it was last consistently funny. So it's no surprise that they have a Twitter feed for that stupid douchanoe of a robot that dances around on their NFL broadcast (WHY DO ROBOTS NEED TO STRETCH???!?!?), and they're convinced that what their third-rate broadcast needs is more dancing robot:
• FOX will give its Transformersesque robot, Cleatus, more airtime -- including its own a Twitter account.
Titans reserve safety Anthony Smith spent parts of 2009 and 2010 with the Jaguars, and he says that, contrary to what was said yesterday, Garrard seemed very popular with his teammates.
Paul K recaps Maurice Jones-Drew's conference call with the Titans-centric media members, including MJD's thoughts on fellow Bruin Akeem Ayers, former Titan Stephen Tulloch and former Jaguar David Garrard.
Malcolm Sheppard has gone from undrafted pick to practice squad guy, and now he'll be a week one contributor.
Titans Sized caught a hilarious mistake on CBS's broadcast of the Rams-Jags preseason game.
The Jaguars have over 6,000 tickets still unsold Sunday's game against the Titans, and cutting your franchise QB days before the season opener usually doesn't send ticket sales through the roof. In response, owner Wayne Weaver is promising to make up for his apathetic fanbase by purchasing the remaining tickets so that Jacksonville fans can tune in to make sure the team doesn't move to LA at halftime.

Who the hell named that monstrosity "Cleatus"?
Has to be the least intimidating name for what I presume is supposed to project the “tough” image of football. Also…Arrested Development is one of the greatest comedies of all time.

I really like the Office as well
but AD kills it, IMO. NOw part of that is that it didn’t have the chance to go on too long like the Office has, but pound for pound you just can’t beat the three seasons of AD.
Music City Miracles blogger and High Secretary of Funk. Follow me @AugustWest_MCM.
This is very true.
I would put The Office season 1-4 on a very high pedestal, but since then it has had ups and downs. AD was consistently hilarious all the way through, though I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of the British episodes at the beginning of season three, they feel out of place compared to the rest of the show.

Agreed, what Office has taken 50 billion seasons to do, AD did in only 3.
AND! It wasn’t ripped from any BBC shows as well, BOOM!

The office is one of the funniest shows that was ever made. I had to get used to the
actors talking to the camera the first few times, but after that I was hooked.
How many people watching this game would have caught the spelling mistake?
I certainly didnt notice anything until it was mentioned.
Agreed.
But still.
oh i see, the height listed. still Titan sized and this picture have his name spelled 2 different ways.
that’s what I thought you were referring to. my bad, ill shut up now. ha.
Agreed.
But still.
I did the same thing!
I thought “why is his name being spelled wrong scary?”

getting some love. I wonder if they’ll extend him or if he’s decided to let it lie and use his FA eligibility next offseason to try to work out a better deal here.
I hope he stays here... even after this weird/awkward 1 day holdout thing he has this summer.

I seem to recall Fisher and Cecil running a “bend but don’t break” defense…they got bent all right. Bent over and took it where the sun don’t shine. I’ll wait until regular season results, thanks.

The bend dont break is great if your offense is lighting up the score board, our 2010 offense not so much.

Maybe they watched his first playoff game last year?
The guy can’t stay healthy. Beyond that, he is a very good QB, especially when given time in the pocket. I mean, I think we’re gonna see Jake Locker get some serious starting time around mid-year when Hasslebeck’s back starts acting up, but in the games that he plays, I expect our actual starting QB to play, well, at least a whole Hell of a lot better than anyone who’s QB’ed this team since Steve McNair last did it.
