I became a Titans fan officially during their 1999-2000 playoff run. I’ve often said since that I bought high. The team has been to one AFC title game since and just completed a nine-year run of non-playoff futility that was not all bad but close. Last night was my friend Don’s birthday party so for […]
I often underrate the friendship I have with Sharona. We’d often do the show and that was a wrap. Now we alternate sending each other the latest “can you believe that bullshit” articles through DMs and I’ll text her beer pics during Predators games. On her latest Back Talk with Sharona, she talked about having […]
Here are five ways to ensure that you never feel sports pain in life: 1. Turn off all nerve centers when sporting events are on. See your team after an amazing, practically religious if I took that term to mean something positive, experience follow it up with a result that even the most sadistic writer […]
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 […]
After some guest-free weeks, Sharona was good enough to bring on Scott Fishbowl namesake and mastermind, um, Scott Fish. He had a rare opportunity to talk at night as he was about to hit the Caribbean with his wife to celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss. Enough of that domestic bliss. What did we cover? […]
We had another two-person edition of the Going for 2 show. Sharona predictably rolled her eyes at Peter King’s “on the field only” comments about Darren Sharper’s Hall of Fame eligibility. It’s an issue draftniks have to tackle with players like Jameis Winston or Dorial Green-Beckham but most go the Deion Sanders route. Off-the-field concerns […]
Sharona and I did a Going for 2 football podcast by our lonesome last week. We’ve had some great guests the past few weeks and needed a bit of “us” time. Every Mike Tanier article is a must-read, but his one about surviving the next six weeks (less than five now) leading up to the […]
On this week’s Going for 2, Sharona and I brought in The First Lady of RotoViz, James Todd, from his Detroit-area bunker. Isn’t that a lovely beard? I mean it’s probably the Haloti Ngata to Brian’s Ndamakong Suh, but we take what we can get in facial hair land. Free agency feels a little freer […]
