And was a former BAMA player. Don't forget the most important part. Poor guy was allowed to do that to Josh and every other QB in Tuscaloosa and doesn't understand why it's not allowed now.
Oh jesus, that was the piece of I was missing. UT players/superstars aside, I often forget where a player was in college, so I had no idea.
And my condolences if you're stuck following the Titans forever.
I've been a Titans fan since Bud Adams up stakes and moved to Memphis, to be honest, back when I didn't know what a dick he was and was just really excited to have a 'local' team. I remember riding the school bus and hearing the radio talk about the different potential names for them when they dropped the Oilers moniker; I was a fan of the Copperheads nickname, but I was happy enough when they ended up going with Titans. Steve McNair and Eddie George and Frank Wychek will always be football heroes of mine. Even Jevon Kearse, speaking of people I totally forgot where they went to college.
So safe to say I'll aways be a Titans fan.
But when things are tough, I've got my Eagles too since half my family are Philly fans haha.
The NFL is boring and soulless compared to college. They need 100 more Dobbs. And more than KC and the Vikings running offenses with any creativity.
See, I just don't see that at all. There may be systems in place that work, but when they're executed well, the offenses sing. Just look at the Dolphins this year. And however bad some teams may get in the NFL, you'll never see an "Alabama vs UT-Chatanooga" situation where the big boys pay a million dollars for a win.
Are you saying they scheduled tv slots around a player/personality? Not around region, team success, stakes etc?
The tv slots bid for the "big" games and big names yeah. Team success would be the biggest factor and then rivalries and stakes would be a factor. What he's saying is QBs that have proven they can move the needle with their star power (because of being damned good) were big draws for the primetime games, and I think that's fair. For sure the NFL were very happy to have the Eagles and Chiefs on Monday Night Football between it being a Superbowl rematch, the Kelce brothers facing off again, and maybe even some Taylor Swift talk (sadly she was busy killing her fans in Brazil).
