The coaching staff has been very upfront about the fact that Ryan Fowler is back in the mix for the starting MLB spot, but Stephen Tulloch will not go quietly into the night. He tells Jim Wyatt all about it:
"Now that I am getting my opportunity I'm not giving it back. The only way I give up this job is if they carry me off the field. To finally have the opportunity to start, I think the sky is the limit for me and I want to showcase my abilities. I'm just getting started.''
Look, Ryan Fowler seems like a good guy, but if the coaching staff is really debating starting him over Tully I just have on thing to say, and I know The Band agrees: Don't Do It! Kerry Collins used his appearances at the CMT Awards earlier this week to meet some of his musical heros, and talk to Alan Jackson about diggin' on some Alan Jackson.
Former Titans Rien Long and Zack Pillar were selected in last night's much ignored UFL draft. This is actually a cool story for Rien Long, who has been battling back from a near fatal car accident in January of 2008.
I don't put much credence in rumors of Pac being resigned by the Cowboys, but Mike Florio has an interesting tidbit that would be an odd one for someone to make up:
There’s a rumor making the rounds that Pacman Jones is still living on property owned by Jerry Jones.
I think we'd all agree that it's time for Pac to give it up, and focus on preparing for his true life's calling: being a strip club DJ.
