^ The more chaos and injuries around the AFC the better for the Bengals. 

 

No tears will be shed. Let the bodies hit the floor and let the locker room brawls begin.

I wonder if we could work out a trade with them for Joe Mixon?

A 5th round draft choice and he's there's.

I hope the Chiefs move on, he was the reason more than any other that we lost that AFCC last year.

Tennessee got screwed by not having any oil ... But are there Bears in Chicago though? 

 

 

Jed Clampettt disagrees.

 

Chiefs shouldn't give Jones a new deal with 30 per, but they probably will give him a raise. It would be smarter for them to make him play on his current 20 mil deal, then tag him once or twice. If they were going to give someone a free 5 or 10 mil raise, Mahomes and Kelce should be ahead of Jones on the list.

The referees are upset that you are minimizing their impact on the game…🥷

That doesn't look like Ron Torbert to me?

Yes he kept looking for Max Scharpling to destroy..and did..

They were still known as the Oilers their first season in Tennessee (Memphis). Closest oil looks to be central AR, but maybe northern MS. 

 

Uniforms did not change.

Jones was dominant against mostly backups.  Not the same story in the regular season before the injuries.  Still, he’s probably the next best interior pass rusher after Aaron Donald and should approach Donald’s contract value, IMO.  Tough decision for the Chiefs because they don’t want to lose him but the cost will be very high.  I think a trade could happen just like with Tyreek Hill.

Oh for sure Cappa shut him down, that said he is still a guy I'd be happy not being on their team.

Love this.

 

Bills fans, trolling the Ravens, to slam the current Browns, over a thing the Titans did.

I think Tennessee Moonshiners would have been a badass name personally. 

 

Much better than Titans, which is lame as fuck and no relation to the state.

Unless Josh grew dreadlocks in a few months, I don't think that is him.

... It's a common meme about how Bill and the Patriots bring in free agent players. Always the same image.

I remember when they awarded Jacksonville and Carolina the expansion teams - TN was in the running and they wanted to call the team the Memphis Hound Dogs - how awful.

... The Elvis impersonators would have been everywhere in the stadium.

 

But still a better name than "Titans" in my view. 

[Le Tigre]

Multiple origin theories of the nickname:

 

"In a segment with WGFX-FM 104.5 (The Zone) in Nashville on Tuesday, long-time Houston Chronicle reporter John McClain noted that original plans included a different nickname for the team and a different layout for the stadium on the east bank of the Cumberland River."

 

“The Titans were going to be the ‘Pioneers,’” McClain, who closely covered the franchise’s transition from Houston, said. “Then it got out. I think somebody in Memphis found out about it. So, [franchise founder] Bud Adams changed everything and went to Titans.”

---------------

"The Oilers played one season in Memphis and one in Nashville at Vanderbilt University’s football stadium before their home stadium was completed prior to the 1999 season. The team was then rechristened the Tennessee Titans, a name derived from Nashville’s sobriquet of “the Athens of the South.”
