So Lando and The Meena join me as normal and we also get to witness the glorious return of The Raging Clam. The topics surrounding the Super Bowl are discussed in this order:

  1. The Pro Bowl. Anybody watch?
  2. 100,000 hookers descend upon Miami.
  3. How can the Saints win?
  4. How can the Colts win?
  5. Random Prop Bets, like how many Rushing yards Drew Brees will get (over/Under is 2 1/2).
  6. Picks and Predictions!!
  7. Rex Ryan flips people off.
  8. What the hell was that sound from The Raging Clam?

PosseCast: Ding! Dong! Brett Favre is Dead!

January 28th, 2010 by Rogersworthe | 3 Comments | Filed in PosseCasts

Lando, The Meena, and I start of reveling in the failure of Brett Favre and marvel at how good Peyton Manning is. We then end up discussing Marvin Harrison and whether he should be in the Hall of Fame if he is convicted of murder. We then drift on to the topics of Mass Effect 2, Greg Oden’s HUGE penis, and the Cleveland Cavs.

Warning: Parts are a bit (read: A LOT) vulgar and graphic when discussing Greg Oden’s penis, so listen at own risk.

So… after that warning I encourage you to take a listen and enjoy our moronic ramblings!

Posse Review: Titans vs. Colts Week 13

December 7th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 2 Comments | Filed in Posse Review

And so it ends. The hope for a playoff spot. Peyton Manning proved to be a lot better than Nick Harper, and the Titans couldn’t find a way to disrupt him. It was a rough game to watch, and field goals proved to be the Titans response to touchdowns. That’s how this team has played against the Colts, and it’s a frustrating pattern. So without further adieu, I give you the review.

Peyton torched the Titans secondary and was upright all day

Peyton torched the Titans secondary and was upright all day

Why the Titans Lost

  • Questionable Offensive Playcalling: Heimerdinger reverted back to some tendencies from the first 6 games that infuriated me. On the first 4th and Goal the Titans went for it, the Colts called a timeout. This, obviously, gives extra time for them to think about the playcall. Apparently, that was a bad idea, because Heimerdinger got cute and called for a fade route to Kenny Britt in the corner of the end zone. Problems with this call are that 1) A fade route IN GENERAL is a LOW percentage playcall. Even if it is Manning to Wayne, Brady to Moss, Montana to Rice, Brees to Colston, IT’S STILL A LOW PERCENTAGE PLAY. I also understand the thought process. They threw a slant to Britt earlier, so the Colts defender would be jumping the slant. REGARDLESS, it’s a bad playcall. 2) Vince isn’t that strong on throwing the fade. It’s just the truth. He actually threw it decently well, but the problem is with a fade route you have to throw it PERFECTLY. No margin for error. Vince has not matured to that point yet. 3) Kenny Britt is a rookie. A good rookie? Yes. An exceptional rookie? No. He isn’t Moss, Wayne, or Rice yet, and I doubt he ever will be. Frankly the call just doesn’t make any sense the way you look at it. And that wasn’t all. Heimerdinger had several head scratchers for playcalls throughout this game, including a complete misuse of LenDale White AGAIN.
  • Nick Harper: The rest of the secondary played decently well. Not great by any means, but they did what they could considering it is Peyton Manning. Reggie Wayne was all but taken out of the game. BUT… Pierre Garcon continually torched the Titans secondary, and every time he seemed to get a big play, NICK HARPER was in on the coverage. It was painful to watch, and at SOME POINT Fisher has GOT to put Rod Hood in. Doesn’t he? Eventually? It is killing the Titans. The Fisher loyalty to veterans is starting to become a mockery.
  • Turnovers: It’s hard to chastise Vince too much for his interception. The game was getting out of hand, the Titans needed a play, and Kenny Britt broke off the route just as he threw. Now while I doubt that would’ve changed the outcome (it wasn’t a good throw), you never know. Maybe Britt breaks it up, maybe the defender doesn’t catch it, maybe Britt finds a way to catch it. Who knows? That one in that situation has happened to every Quarterback worth his salt. In the 1st Quarter tied at 0-0 or a close game, and Vince throws it away. He tried to make a play in a situation where nothing was developing but the Titans needed a play desperately. The fumble by Ahmard Hall was infuriating, but with Ahmard it’s a risk. It was a good play call, good execution, good run by Hall and then he put the ball on the ground. Unfortunately two very forgivable turnovers produced a very unforgivable situation  of losing the turnover battle to the Colts by 2. Very few, if any, teams would beat Indianapolis when down 2 in the turnover column.

Posse Preview: Titans vs. Colts Week 13

December 4th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 3 Comments | Filed in Posse Preview

At the beginning of the year I had a feeling this  game would matter. Then that feeling died a horrible death amid 0-6 and 59-0. A scant five weeks later, and this game is the only game to get 5 Throwgasms from Drew Magary of Kissing Suzy Kolber and Deadspin. Crazy world, huh? Well here we are. For the 3rd Week in a row, this game qualifies as the most important game of the season. Soooo… lets preview it!

I really, really, really want to see this several times

Strengths for the Titans

  • Ball Control: With Vince’s ability to pick up 1st downs running or throwing along with Chris Johnson has given the Titans mojo back in being able to control the clock. Miami gave the blueprint on how to beat Indy. Now, the Titans need to use that blueprint and finish the game.
  • Chris Johnson: He’s on fire. Indy’s D is not good against the run. The Titans will need a big game from him to win.

Weaknesses for the Titans

T-Rac’s 2009 NFL Midseason Report

November 10th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 4 Comments | Filed in T-Rac

So, every website and their mother (websites have moms? Yes.) has NFL Power Rankings. They’re totally meaningless and are almost never accurate (if one regards the playoffs as a true test). So, knowing this, I give you the T-Rac version of Power Rankings for the halfway point of the season.

  1. New Orleans Saints (8-0): Their closest game this year has been 8 points, and that was on a late bullshit field goal. They’re my midseason favorite to win the Super Bowl, and their DEFENSE has scored more Touchdowns than the Browns Offense. The official tally: NO Defense 7 Cleveland Offense 5.
  2. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2): They had a rough patch earlier this year, but Polamalu is back and, not surprisingly, the Defense came back with his return. On offense, Big Ben is still a top 5 QB, they have good Wide Receivers, and their Offensive Line is improved. When you add Rashard Mendenhall and a good running game to that offense then I think they’re better than any team in the AFC. The Colts sure as hell wouldn’t beat them right now.
  3. Indianapolis Colts (8-0): They’re good. Peyton Manning is great. However, they keep just barely getting by teams that the Saints would be blowing out. And as much as I hate cliches about the running game, at some point you got to have one. Also, as good as their defense has played, I don’t trust them to continue that. They’re too small to stop a team from controlling the clock against them. Heck, that’s exactly what Miami did, they just weren’t quite good enough to finish the game.
  4. New England Patriots (6-2): They’re putting it together. I hate that. They scare me.
  5. Minnesota Vikings (7-1): This is where they are. I wanted to put them lower because I am just waiting for their collapse, but there isn’t any other teams left who I would pick to beat them right now. (more…)

Thoughts from an Angry Fan

October 22nd, 2009 by Lando | No Comments | Filed in Random Thoughts

“I just wanted to feel like a winner.”

This is what Jeff Fisher said when he sported a Peyton Manning jersey at a charity event.  That he wanted to feel like a winner.  I don’t know about any other Titans fans, but I’m pretty pissed.  You are the head coach of a winless team.  You were just embarrassed in New England.  And what do you do a few days later?  Try and joke around when your job is on the ice.

I’ve been a big Jeff Fisher fan over the years, but this pushed me over the edge.  The Colts are our biggest division rivals.  As a fan, I HATE the Colts.  Hate.  And it is embarrassing to me to see our head coach sporting Colts gear.  It’s insulting.  And if you want to feel like a winner?  Go out and win some games, you jackass.  I’d feel very differently if we were 2-3, or even had a win to speak of.  But the Titans have been getting progressively worse as the season trudges on, and Jeff Fisher is primarily to blame.  As Rogersworthe wrote, if the season were to end today would you fire Jeff Fisher?  My answer is yes.  And this bullshit incident helped convince me.  Wear a Kyle Orton jersey.  Not the jersey of our biggest division rival of the past decade.

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...

Lando’s Hotties and Fuglies: Week 7

October 21st, 2009 by Lando | No Comments | Filed in Fantasy Football

“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:

  • DeAngelo Williams:  First timer on the hotties list.  Congrats.  Even with the Panthers taking a Titansesque plummet from last years success, Williams is still a good back.  And the worst run defense in the league will bring out a little of last year in him.  And he’ll look damn good doing it.
  • Thomas Jones:  The Cougar of fantasy backs.  Had an amazing game last week, completely destroyed my fantasy team.  And Oakland is not a team of world beaters.  Expect this cougar to put up big numbers.
  • Ronnie Brown:  There’s something about the Wildcat.  I don’t know what it is.  It just sounds so dangerous, you know?  And no one runs it better than Ronnie.
  • Peyton Manning:  The guy is a rock god.
  • Drew Brees:  Man is it getting hot in here?  Brees looked brilliant against the best defense in the league.  He embarrassed the Giants.  And will probably do the same thing to Miami.
  • Brett Favre:  No one says it better than John Madden.
  • Andre Johnson:  Best receiver in the league.  The guy can do it all:  he has size, speed, great hands, and gets targeted more than any other receiver in the league.  Plus I would let my son go gay for this little peach.
  • The Entire Colts Receiving Corps:  Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark are must starts.  Garcon and Collie are good flex options.  This one’s for you Air.
  • The Other Steve Smith:  Him and the other Manning are going to return to hottie form this week.  They’ll put a good sandwich on the whole Cardinals D.
First thing Id ever say to him. Did you just come from working out, or are you always this veiny.

First thing I'd ever say to him. "Did you just come from working out, or are you always this veiny?
