INTitan

Just me or does Borgonzi look like he could be Brinker’s brother? I think they are about the same age, both played running back in college. Uncanny.

I remember listening to a live radio feed of a Titans party/event the night before the AFC Championship in KC. They brought JRob up to talk and he slurred thru most of it. It was bad and I think AAS was there as well. Could be wrong as I wasn’t there but it struck me as very unprofessional and a signal of a problem.

I remember the Titans having a party in KC the night before the AFCG and Amy and crew were there rallying with the fans. They interviewed JR in front of the crowd and he was having trouble putting sentences together, basically lol shitfaced. I was embarrassed for him and at a minimum it wasn’t very professional. I can absolutely see him being a participant/instigator in the plane ride booze fest that led to more team embarrassment. That alone wouldn’t get him fired, the many roster decision failures laid out here all contribute but I could see it setting the wheels in motion. I mean when they walked off the field in GB at 7-3, off the heels of battling KC to the wire on the road while playing left handed, would anyone think the team has to bounce the GM because the roster is awful?? No way. Go back and read the threads and media at the time. And one more note- the whole OL mess being the primary reason. OL play is a league wide problem. Part of the reason scoring is way down. JR made a lot of mistakes in this space but he has a lot of company. And when you play really good DL’s like TN has the last two weeks, the problem gets illuminated. Again, a piece of the puzzle but he didn’t get fired solely because of poor OL play/decisions.

Probably been brought up in one of our Whisenhut threads, but has anyone looked at Philip Rivers contract situation? He restructured to help the Chargers in Sept but still has a ton of money on the back end. Chargers gonna have to cut ties at some point. Probably crazy, but maybe Rivers becomes our Kurt Warner in the twilight of his career? Alabama native, too
