    But beyond Johnny there were so many more 1st rounders whiffed upon.  You don't get to suck as bad, or for as long as we had without being bad at the draft.  It took a herculean effort by our owner to make sure he hired a litany of bad coaches and GMs.

    You think Tannehill is better than Baker?  I can't argue that, as I'm not sure how good Baker really is....but I really wouldn't want to have to count on either of them having to take the team on their back to win games.  I think they both need the running games that they've got.

    Your owner is well known in these parts. It's amazing that he was a pretty good at the truck stop business....well, federal indictments not withstanding. His brother was a much better governor.

    Tannehill isn't Mahomes, but who is? But he's proved his mettle around here and I'll take him against most opponents we face. Having Henry in the backfield does make his life easier. But you still have to connect with receivers and make good decisions. His TD/INT ratio is still excellent.

    He's still not the most physically talented in the AFC south....that honor still goes to Deshawn Watson who is having a good year now that their coach was fired. But it's probably too late to sneak into the playoffs considering their start.

    One thing about our defense....every now and then we make opposing QBs look like they belong in Canton, regardless of their skill level. I'm hoping it's not going to be one of those games.

    Baker just got beat a record by Otto Graham in this Sunday's game. It was interesting to find this sentence to say the least.

    I was thinkin.... Alfred E. Newman status.

    I wish the "experts" in sports who said that would have it brought

    back up to them, and they would have to own up to it....

    Ah, I'm going to take you off ignore soon Cal. I'm deserting that other forum shortly. Yall can believe whatever fantasies you want to over there. Had to reluctantly put my Mod hat on- after a Ghoolie wannabe couldn't control his potty mouth.

    We got much more serious problems as a country. You occasionally dip your toe in the mud slop over there. I guess along with a few other Republicans I'm now an "enemy of the state".  Political opinion ended here.

    Kevin took due note of that factoid Tour.  🙂

    Browns apparently brought a load of kryptonite to Nashville with them. Who'd a thunk it.

    (Bonus question? Did Gipper & Vrabel have classroom desk together in this Akron classroom?😉) 

    Well....it was Norton (which included Westside Steve in my class) not Akron  ,  and it was Vrabel's Dad  Chuck who was a teacher/football coach there.   I never had him as a teacher nor did I play football....so to be honest, I never really interacted with the man.  He later went on to be a school principal at like Buckeye HS perhaps. 

    If you had wanted to share a classroom desk with Mike Vrabel you would have had to have attended Walsh Jesuit HS in Cuyahoga Falls. 

    I'll have to ask my pal's son if he ever crossed paths with Vrabel. He would have been a freshman at Walsh when Vrabel was a senior....

    Here are picks from one site. 4 of 4 pick the Titans straight up and 2 of 3 pick the Titans giving away 5.5 points.

    And they all totally blew the upset of the week when the Giants shockingly beat the Seahawks.  🙂
