Yeah, I’m saying it. Brett Favre career ark all but mirrors Roger Clemens. Please explain to me how a 40 year old is better than ever after skipping training camp and spending the offseason hunting and playing football with high schoolers? Steroids. I’m saying it now. Brett Favre is a steroid user.
TAINTED SEASON!!!

Nothing to say about this. Just laugh.
It’s as if Tobias Funke decided to direct a Wrangler commercial.

The Titans are 0-6 and judging by their recent 59-0 loss, not getting any better. Our beloved Coach has pissed off half the fanbase by wearing a Peyton Manning jersey in public. Our QB of the future can’t beat out a 37 year old journeyman who was drafted BEFORE Eddie George had even won the Heisman Trophy. The Titans don’t only suck. They are the laughingstock of the NFL.
So, why continue to watch football? What is the point of trooping on? Well, outside of fan support, there is one thing that can still bring joy to the heart of angry Titans fans: Shadenfruede.
Nothing can bring joy quite like your opponent completely failing. Except maybe a Super Bowl. And a winning team. Okay, forget that. Plenty of things bring greater joy than a hated team completely failing. However, THIS season, the 2009 NFL season, for a Titans fan, nothing can bring joy quite like the failure of others. There are many already existing storylines of Shadenfreude along with many potential ones as well. I will cover them all. Why? Because I’m tired of reflecting on 59-0. Time to hate everybody else.
Current Joyful Failures
Storyline of Hateful Joy #1: The collapse of the almighty Jets and pretty boy Mark Sanchez: This one is an amazing story. At the beginning of the year pretty much everyone said, “The Jets will suck.” I predicted them at 3-13. Well, they came out looking amazing. A top defense and a powerful running game along with the pretty boy savior QB not making huge mistakes led the Jets to a 3-0 record. The Jets looked like they could be division champs. Then they went down to New Orleans and Sanchez played like dogshit. Nobody blinked. It happens. The Superdome is hard to play in, blah blah blah. Well then on Monday Night Football the Miami Dolphins Wildcatted (fuck yeah it’s a verb) the shit out of the VAUNTED JETS DEFENSE and won 31-27. Ah yes. Well it happens. Miami played a great game.
But then….
5 interceptions!!!!! AGAINST THE BILLS!! HAHAHA YOU’RE RUNNING GAME GAVE YOU 300 YARDS RUSHING AND YOU STILL LOST DIRTY SANCHEZ!!! HOW DOES IT FEEL!!! 5 Interceptions in 29 attempts. That is 1 interception every 6 pass attempts. OH I LOVE IT!! SUCK ON IT YOU OVERRATED PRETTY BOY!!! How’s that “alpha male” bullshit working out now, Dilfer? Oh man, I love it. Fail you over-privileged assmunch. FAIL.
So gay...

“Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez.”
This is Spanish for “What the Hell happened to the Titans??” (I don’t know how I knew that, I took four years of French in high school.) That was the WORST game of football I have ever seen. I nearly became a soccer fan thanks to that game. What can I say about my Titans? We suck ass. And at least we can’t lose during the bye week.
Moving onto everything that is Fantasy I had my worst week ever. Matt Forte and Greg Jennings are making me look like an idiot. Thanks to them I lost to the Raging Clam, who has one of the worst records in our league. The Raging Clam?? This is the guy who drafted Dallas Clark in the 3rd round last year. This is the guy who left The Other Steve Smith on the bench for half the year, whilst starting Anquan Boldin on his bye week. And I lost to him. (Pause for 30 seconds while Lando cries in the shower.)
Alright and we’re back. Last week I predicted that the Patriots would torch the Titans and they did not disappoint. Looked pretty sexy fine fantasy wise doing it too. However I was way off about Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook. Who would’ve thought that they would completely puke all over themselves against the Raiders. But other than that my predictions were pretty on point. As always. And this week gets even better. Lots of beautiful beefcakes going against some terrible teams, and lots of players looking ugly as sin. Lets get it started! (Song by the Black-eyed Crows.)
Hotties:
First thing I'd ever say to him. "Did you just come from working out, or are you always this veiny?

So with this 0-4 start the grumblings have begun: it is time to fire Jeff Fisher. This is not the cry of the majority of the fanbase, but a significant enough portion to where the conversation is being had. However, I am telling you now, firing Jeff Fisher is a VERY BAD IDEA.
Jeff is still a top 10 coach in this league
We all know about how this season has taken the expectations of Titans fans and the team and crapped all over them. 4 weeks in and the Titans have already lost more games than last year. It is almost excepted wisdom that it is time to bring back Vince Young. Most fans have given up on making the playoffs, they just want to see the Titans avoid total embarrassment at 3-13 (some people even have 0-16 in the back of their heads).
So, who does the fanbase blame when these expectations aren’t met? The coaches. And this year, I believe it is deservedly so. However, that does not mean it is time to end the Jeff Fisher era. You don’t just fire a top 10 coach for one season of unmatched expectations. (more…)

If you’re like me and you have no real emotional connection these days to either the Minnesota Vikings or the Green Bay Packers then you are just plain old sick of Brett Favre. Now, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Good God, not another Brett Favre blog! Holy hell kid, get a real job.” Trust me, I understand. Bashing or praising, anything even mentioning Favre is nauseating.
But seriously. C’mon, given the chance to share your opinion, would any of you really pass up the chance to make a few Favre jokes? Or really not mention the stark erection Jon Gruden sported for three hours? By the way, anyone else catch that moment right after they showed the video clip of Gruden back when he was a receivers coach for Green Bay and he was having a sideline conversation with Favre? I believe Gruden ended the segment by saying, “I’ll tell you what, I sure do miss him,” and then proceeded to gaze lovingly and erotically back towards the field, towards the love of his life that got away. I guarantee that will provide Gruden with any mental images he needs to perform sexual relations on, well, whatever it is Jon Gruden has sex with.
Jon Gruden's Brett Favre "Oh!" Face? Yep.
But really, all of the Favre fandom is just so much overkill. ESPN literally will probably make an ESPNFavre.com just because they think that since it’s a good idea, others will think so too, like Peter King. I mean it really has gotten to the point of absurdity.
Gruden also dropped this gem sometime in the second half; “You gotta be impressed he moved the ball from the 1 to the 40.” Really? Really Jon? Do I really have to be impressed that a quarterback moved the ball 40 damn yards?!? Seriously?!? Are you smoking crack? But I guess you’re right Jon, more importantly than any pass he threw, was the fact that Favre was able to move the ball 40 freaking yards. (more…)

So, by late afternoon on Mondays, I have usually seen enough to know what a few common themes the mainstream media is pounding out and throwing our way. Most are legitimate if over-covered. That’s the media now, including blogs like this one. Everything is over-covered. But a few stories being shoved down our throat are total bullshit. I will try to bring light to these stories to you, the faithful readers of the Wisdom of T-Rac and his Posse.
Kyle Orton is 1-0; Jay Cutler is 0-1: Such a common theme, I’ve seen 3 national writers bring it up, including the amazingly original Peter King. This is a bullshit way to look at it. It’s sensationalizing at its best, and sums up everything I hate about people like Chris Berman and Peter King. Josh McDaniels took an offense that a year ago was playing really well in Denver and carrying the worst defense in NFL history to an 8-8 record, which is actually quite an accomplishment, and scored 6 points that didn’t involve fluky tipped passes on the CINCINNATI BENGALS. Orton then throws a pass that in virtually any other game is intercepted, but this time leads to one of the craziest and fluky endings in a long time. On top of it, Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post summed up the failure of the Bengals best here:
“I feel so bad for the Bengals, but situational football is a huge part of the NFL. Where was the deepest man on the field? Who cares if they catch it? All they had to do was tackle anyone who touched the ball. A defense cannot get outflanked. I know this is a little like second-guessing, but it’s paramount to the situation. I wonder if the Bengals worked on that one?”
The Bengals define bad situational football, and it cost them in that fluky play. Should Josh McDaniels get credit for that? NO.
Now, Jay Cutler played horribly in the loss to the Packers, but a few points should be made about that as well: 1) The Bears receivers suck. 2) The Packers are infinitely better than the Bengals. 3) The Bears, despite Jay Cutler’s 4 interceptions, still put up more points than the Broncos, and they did not have a fluky play to do it. Jay Cutler has a lot of questions to answer for his play, but to suggest Kyle Orton played just as well or to even hint at it with this suggestive headline is laziness on the part of the media and sensationalizing bullshit. AVOID ANY WRITER THAT USES THIS AS A TOPIC FOR A COLUMN OR EVEN MENTIONS IT.
Sorry, no credit in my book for beating THE BENGALS with one of the luckiest plays in NFL history.
