There's alot of debate about the risk repeated concussions pose to NFL players after they retire, and Merril Hoge continues to be the poster boy of how such brain tartar can make you say idiotic things totally disconnected from history and reality:
"All I have ever done is give my evaluation of his skill set, and some people make it seem like I hate the guy. You can go get every air-check I've ever done, and you'll never find me say I hate the guy. There is no reason to hate Vince Young; I've never met him," Hoge said. "And if I had something against Vince Young I'd come out right now and say he got lucky."
Riiiiight. Merril Hoge never took a personal tone with Vince Young... even though Ron Jowarski cracked on him for doing exactly that on NFL Live during VY's rookie year. Merril can backpedal and revise history all he likes, but it doesn't change the fact that he's a petty twerp who should have been suspended or fired for his behavior.
The Titans keep crawling back up the DVOA rankings, but remain in the bottom half of the league. The upside? By FO's 'Future Schedule' measure we have the easiest schedule remaining in the NFL.
So after Clay Travis called us the best Titans blog on the net last night on his ClayNation radio show (/brushes shoulder off), The Tennessean picks up our biggest cause of the year (in the second part of their 5 things): RE-SIGN KEITH BULLUCK!
Follow us through the jump to find-out what braggart has challenged CJ to a foot race...
Celtics point guard/numbskull Rajon Rondo challenged CJ to a race because Rondo doesn't like keeping his money or manhood. Apparently Rondo says he can run a 3.9 second 40, but anyone who would say something like that with a straight face probably can't count to 40. That's a friggin' impossible rate that would put Rondo up there with the greatest sprinters in the world. More likely? That's just what Rajon's momma told him one time.
It's tough to deny that this season is feeling pretty special. If we can pull out a win Sunday, that feeling will be inescapable anywhere a Titans fan draws breath. Greater turn-around from the perceptions during the bye week: defense or Vince Young? Matt Bowen didn't like Bud Adams' comments about making the change to VY, but he seems to forget that Fisher was dead wrong... Bud can't be too happy about the fact that Fisher was so completely off-base (provided the printed stories about his opposition are true) about the franchise's biggest investment. Rustmeister delivers more thoughts and ruminations on the Titans' season.
