He's a guest sometimes on the Zone

I'm pretty sure Miss Amy hates him and doesn't speak to him because he's been so critical of her and the clusterfuck that has been the Titans organization. As a general rule, I've found a lot of Northeastern people are loud, pushy and obnoxious. There ARE exceptions to EVERY rule, but that's just been my experience. I lived 30 miles from NYC for 10 years when I was a teenager. Southern hospitality is a very real thing and that's one of the things that made me want to live here. Warm and welcoming. Paul is a good guy. He has his faults as we all do.

I looked it up. You're right. I know he lived in NJ for a while but he was born in Cleveland.

If it does include it I've never seen it. I get notices that his podcasts are going live. It includes Herndon's articles and commentary on his website.

I laughed my ass off when he went postal on some fans on his podcast that kept asking why the organization doesn’t give Restrepo more reps. He went off on them like the good Jersey boy he is.

As Titans fans, we get the information locally wherever we can because most of the national media are buffoons as well. PK is the best we have because he isn’t beholden to anyone but the local sports talk is pretty brutal. The $7 a month is well worth it for his podcast. He is critical when he needs to be but you do get an honest opinion.

Haters gonna hate. Stillman is a moron

When I first read that I thought it said run out of BUMS? I was going to say shortage of bums never seemed to be a problem at the tomb.

A guy that can make kicks from sixty yards out is valuable to Ward and the offense. We still have holes to fill in the draft so I have no problem with a one year deal.

it looks a helluva lot better than it did last week!

the guy is an imbecile looking for clicks. fuck him

Al Del Greco.............................j/k Someone that I really enjoyed watching was Blaine Bishop. That dude could bring it. Him and Heinz Ward had some epic battles back in the day. That being said, Pacman was dynamic game changer and electrifying. I'd take him back without the baggage.

Sadly, a mere shell of his former self. He hasn't been the same since the Live oak tree at Toomer's corner got poisoned by that Bama fan. Poor ol Johnnie Reb.

I think Helm has a higher ceiling.

He's likely to get better offers elsewhere.

Sounds like a band.........Joe Schoen and the Castaways

The feed we had to watch was friggin awful. Freezing up, buffering almost the entire first half. I know I missed a lot.

We had a terrible streaming feed the first half of the game. It was literally buffering half the game so I know I missed a lot. I was stuck there because we were at a big Superbowl party. I guess I should have left and gone home to watch it but I didn't. the second half wasn't nearly as bad.

It looked like to me that the Pats/Vrabel made zero in game adjustments to try and compensate for Seattle’s pass rush. Maye couldn’t get the ball out fast enough and Seattle rushed 4 the entire game. I don’t remember seeing them blitz one time, Vrabel is a good coach but being flexible is not his strong suit .

Totally agree. The big slobber fest Vrabel put on when he was inducted in the NE Hall of Fame sent a clear message to all (including AAS) that Vrabel wanted the job. Mayo was just a place holder.

This article is from the Atlantic website by Jacob Robinson. I didn’t post the entire article but I found it interesting in that it parallels the Titans situation this year. It starts with ownership. Rather than sticking with the post-Bill Belichick succession plan, owner Robert Kraft pulled the plug on Jerod Mayo after just one disastrous season, then sprinted to hire Vrabel a week later. “To be good long term, you need a coach and a quarterback,” Kraft told our Chad Graff. “When Mike Vrabel was available, I just thought … I felt a chemistry with him. I thought he had all the different factors.” Vrabel immediately overturned his staff. The 14-year veteran linebacker and six-year coach purged Mayo's inexperienced assistants. Mayo, a first-time head coach, had been working with first-timers at defensive coordinator, offensive play caller and special teams coordinator. Other than longtime OC Josh McDaniels, Vrabel's assistants looked nothing like Mayo's. They teemed with experience. McDaniels is one of three former head coaches on the staff, alongside Doug Marrone (offensive line coach who once led the Bills and Jaguars) and Thomas Brown (passing game coordinator who was the Bears' interim in 2024). The roster was next. Vrabel and de facto general manager Eliot Wolf replaced over half the team's players, patching a sparse roster through free agency and the draft. How they capitalized on both: In free agency, they committed a league-high $209 million in guaranteed money and over $364 million in total contract value to a group that makes up nearly half (nine of 22) of the Patriots’ expected Super Bowl starters. Win. I mentioned Seattle’s strong 2025 draft class yesterday, but it was New England that led Dane Brugler’s post-draft rankings. Left tackle Will Campbell headlined a class that included third-round guard Jared Wilson and fourth-round safety Craig Woodson, both expected to start Sunday’s game. In all, just six members of the Pats' 22-man lineup started more than 10 games for them last year. First-year Patriots in red: This season also required some fortune, as do all Super Bowl runs. That began in 2023, when New England won fewer than seven games for the first time in 23 years and landed the No. 3 pick. Luckily for the Patriots, there were three franchise-altering quarterbacks at the top of that 2024 draft: Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye. The Patriots would take whichever one the Bears and Commanders didn't, though Wolf otherwise whiffed on that draft class. It wouldn't matter. Lucky. Even the fact that Vrabel was still available one year after the Titans fired him was a stroke of luck, as he could've been hired during the 2024 cycle. In 2025, New England's schedule was projected to be the second-easiest this season ... but became the second-easiest this century. And that was before their playoff schedule: a Chargers team missing its top tackles, a Texans team with an imploding C.J. Stroud and the Jarrett Stidham-led Broncos. They had to be good enough to take advantage of that luck, of course. This is a strong team. The 23-year-old Maye is one of the league's top quarterbacks. Pairing him with an aggressive defense, one that's elevated itself in the postseason, gives New England a shot against anyone. Could that continue this Sunday? The Patriots, 4.5-point underdogs per BetMGM, might not need luck. A master of game management, Vrabel is 22-14 in games decided by 3 points or fewer, and New England was just one of two teams without a loss in such games this season. Zak Keefer explores how defensive-minded coaches shaped this Super Bowl.

That's the world we live in now. There's a pill for everything. Ozembic would be a better alternate than the stomach staples people were doing for a while.

He might have arm strength but Levis sucked at reading a defense and managing the pocket. He was erratic throwing the ball and was a terrible decision maker with zero pocket presence. He's a career backup at best. Willis has done well in a limited role but hasn't played a whole season as the starter. He's got a good arm and he's getting good coaching now. Amy isn't coaching Ward. The experienced staff her GM just hired will. Granted she's made some dumb decisions but she has better people running things now. I'm counting on AAS to let the coaches coach. Ran needed to be fired and BC was just a bad hire and JRob made some dumass decisions. Im glad she had the balls to admit her mistake and move on. Let the healing begin.

The Brady/Belichick thing is like arguing which came first, the chicken or the egg. Both benefitted from each other's success. Once BB got away from Cleveland he was successful. The defenses he fielded with the Giants as DC were some of the best in franchise history. You can't separate them. Their individual success' was a product of the chemistry and collaboration between the two of them. Belichick fell victim to the internal politics of the voters. He totally deserves a first ballot entry to the HOF.

I've seen people wearing red Titans jerseys at games before but I have no idea where they came from. I suppose they could have been bootlegged. They looked like the real thing though.
