T-Rac’s NFL Great Games Preview: Week 10

November 13th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in Rest of the NFL

Obviously I am a huge Tennessee Titans fan. But, like many of you, I am also a huge NFL fan. So I am adding a new feature where I name the other games I am interested in watching and why. At the end, there will be a poll for you to pick the game you are also interested in watching. Pretty cool, huh? We’re so interactive here at T-Rac’s Posse. It’s really a democracy. You run the blog, not me. The interest scale for me runs from 1 to 10, with 10 being a Titans game, and 1 being a hockey game.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals: If Cincinnati wins, I’ll be pretty impressed. Cincy is, fairly or unfairly, fighting for legitimacy in this game. Reminds me of the Titans vs. Steelers game a year ago (except we then puked all over the idea of gaining legitimacy by losing 9 straight). Interest Scale: 7.

San Diego Chargers vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Two good teams with coaches who are infamous for dumb decisions and clock management issues. This game will not be decided by talent, but by a retarded coaching move. SIGN ME UP!! Interest scale: 7.5

Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers: Every time you count Dallas in, they lose. Big time. Green Bay still has a good offense hidden in there somewhere. Interest scale: 5

New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts: This is going to be an awesome game. Also, there will be good announcing. I am even contemplating doing a Live Chat for this game. Oh man, this will be good. Interest scale: 9.75.

So, go vote for which non-Titans game interests you the most.

Which NFL Week 10 Game interests you the most?

  • Patriots vs. Colts (73%, 8 Votes)
  • Bengals vs Steelers (27%, 3 Votes)
  • Chargers vs. Eagles (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Cowboys vs. Packers (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 11

Schadenfreude: The last chance at football joy

October 22nd, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 7 Comments | Filed in T-Rac Circle of Hatred

scha⋅den⋅freu⋅de (pronounced /ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/, German pronunciation: is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.

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...

So gay...

Who hates Mike Florio?

September 24th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 2 Comments | Filed in Media Failures

I do.

In this article, he hints at the possibility of firing Jeff Fisher here in Nashville. That’s RETARDED. The part where he mentions it is here:

And this makes us wonder whether Fisher, who has thrived in relative anonymity since 1994 as head coach of the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Oilers/Tennessee Titans, might finally be reaching the end of the line.  For some reason, Fisher has to date escaped the whispers that have plagued other coaches (like Philadelphia’s Andy Reid) regarding whether, in the modern NFL, a point comes whether the players just don’t listen anymore.

With big names like Bill Cowher, Mike Holmgren, and Mike Shanahan slowly circling in search of the coming coaching carcasses, there’s a chance that 80-something owner Bud Adams will decide that the time for a change has come.

Which, of course, would likely delight Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who undoubtedly would welcome Fisher to Dallas in a heartbeat.

So in 3 short paragraphs he has Jeff Fisher getting fired, Mike Shanahan taking over, and the Dallas Cowboys hiring Jeff Fisher. All without a modicum of evidence except that the Titans lost their first two games by a combined 6 points one season after going 13-3.

Mike Florio, you’re an irresponsible asshat.

5 Things we know about the Titans and the Weekend Poll

September 4th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 1 Comment | Filed in Tennessee Titans

So everybody knows that when a Columnist trots out a “5 things we know” column, that he is mailing it in. BIG TIME. So, I thought, if people who get paid, and usually paid well, for this, why can’t I mail it in as well? So here it is. After 5 preseason games we know 5 things. Here they are:

  1. Jeff Fisher called a fake punt on National TV.
  2. Vince Young can hit a fade route if you let him try it twice.
  3. Nate Washington definitely has a roster spot.
  4. A punt can hit the Cowboys Scoreboard.
  5. We have a new Defensive Coordinator.

These 5 things confirm many of the rumors heard in the offseason like the Nate Washington signing and a new Defensive Coordinator AND present startling new information, like a punt hitting the Cowboys scoreboard.

And I believe these 5 things are about all you can take away from the preseason. No more, no less. Nowhere else can you find such hard hitting analysis. I am driving to Iowa and will be there for the next 3 days, so if I haven’t committed suicide, I will see you on Tuesday. If I do commit suicide, this blog will be carried on by the 3 other writers, except every post will be about me and how great I was.

Don’t forget to vote here on the weekend poll as well:

Which team do you, as a Titans fan, hate most?

So our 2nd Live Blog Event has come to an end. The Cowboys put a bashing on us and this was not a fun game to watch. if you wish to read our anger about this game and the announcers dumb comments, take a read. Not much positive though, besides Javon Ringer looking good once again. What a pick he was.

PosseCast: AFC North Preview and lots of other crap

July 30th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 1 Comment | Filed in PosseCasts

I am joined by my good friend Andrew all the way from Los Angeles to preview the AFC North. Andrew is a diehard Cleveland Browns fan and loves the NFL. The first thing we tackle in the AFC North is whether or not Michael Vick got raped in prison. We also discuss LeBron James, the Cowboys, Drew Bennett’s glorious retirement with the Ravens, Billy Volek’s falling out with Jeff Fisher, our Superbowl picks, and a little bit on the AFC North.

This is the first installment in our Divisional Preview PosseCasts. Hopefully we will have a guest for every division. We’ll see how it actually plays out.

Take a listen, I bet you’ll like it.
