When Eric Kendricks took the Marcus Mariota screen pass like he was the designated recipient to the house and my Teddy Bridgewater sweater-clad friend reacted like a fan of a good NFL franchise should, I wasn’t exactly numb but the years of mediocre on a good day football prepared me well. When the schedulemakers put […]
When I heard that Thomas Gower was giving up his Total Titans gig, focusing on writing about franchises that were more sane (31 names come to mind), I knew he was the perfect guest. After all, Sharona and I know all about covering the team that loves to confound its die-hard supporters. It is free […]
The feeling you get when you put the recycling out on the wrong day, then it rains. Standing behind an old woman at the grocery store who decides to pay with a check from 1989. Getting a papercut on your genitalia. Reading Twitter after Peyton Manning is accused of buying HGH. Losing a fantasy championship […]
I graduated from the University of Missouri in 1996. The football team won exactly 12 games during that time. The 2015 version of the Tigers will exceed my annual win total of the sad mid 90s but I have witnessed the worst offense in school history. Before I get into the guts of my Nashville […]
Today is my birthday. It’s supposed to be a moment of reflection and celebration, so that means a self-indulgent trip down memory lane as an excuse for a blog post. On my 21st birthday, the first alcoholic beverage I purchased legally was…a Zima. In fact, I bought two. I had a dinner with friends and […]
This week, we tried to avoid talking about the Titans as much as possible. We have plenty of time to talk about the draft and the horrible, painful, no-good Nashville NFL franchise. On this week’s very big show, we discussed: The painfully weak NFL coach class. Seriously, Jack Del Rio? I started a Twitter hash […]
For full coverage purposes, I posted an article on my shaky Tennessee Titans’ fandom on Sharona’s blog. On this week’s Going for 2, Sharona and I had our first “hidy” since last year’s NFL Female show. Oh, those poor, poor Lions fans. On the “very big show”, we talked about: The end of the 2014 […]
As I watched the Titans get decimated in early December against a Giants team that finished 6-10, I said “nevermore”. Don’t do that, by the way. The team had the misfortune of completing the 2014 “campaign of tears” with three December home games. I’m going to guess that while they were technical sellouts, these games […]
I wondered if my 2014 football “journey” could top 2013. After all, I got to follow Missouri all the way to the SEC championship game. It was a mixed bag, which happens when you follow a professional team having perhaps its worst season ever and a college team in the midst of its best run […]
I decided to combine my two “shows” this week and have Know Your Enemy as part of the Going for Two hangout. John Beckler joined us for Browns/Titans talk and was nice enough to forgive me when I forgot that he doesn’t drink booze. I witnessed last Sunday’s demolition in a sports bar, and combined […]
