It seems like every year around August, people start to make their predictions about who will win the Super Bowl or who will be the NFL’s last undefeated team this year. We usually look at two things when making this determination: a) their record in the previous year and b) their movement during the offseason. Naturally, here was mine and everyone else’s personal list of who would be the best teams this year: Indianapolis, New England, San Diego, New Orleans, Dallas, guys like that who have talent, prowess, experience, coaching. But, also naturally, every year we get this one little bastard screwing it up for everyone else.This year it’s the Tennessee Titans.
At the beginning of the year, if you’d told me that the Tennessee-F*cking-Titans would be the NFL’s best team through 9 weeks I would’ve told you, in retaliation and to show you how much your logic sucks, that 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' was the best Indy movie ever. What both statements had in common at the time was that they were both not only absurd, by downright insulting to juggernauts like the New England Patriots or the Dallas Cowboys or Raiders of the Lost Ark. It’d be like David going up to Goliath and flipping him off for no good reason.But here we are, 9 weeks into the season, and the Tennessee-F*cking-Titans are the best team in the NFL. This pisses me off. Who do they have? They started out the year with one quarterback, Vince Young, who not only is one of the most overrated players in NFL history but is also a big goddamn baby, who cries and wines on the sidelines every time he gets booed. Get over it, Vince, if I bitched every time I got booed in football in high school I’d be on Prozac. Now their quarterback is a drunk whose eyes get big whenever hears the word ‘happy hour.’ With that said, they do have two of the best defenders in the league in Keith Bulluck and Albert Hanynesworth, but that shouldn’t be enough to merit 8-0 and completely dominating every team you play.
The only explanation I can think of is that the Tennessee-F*cking-Titans are this year’s NFL gremlin; that little team that comes out of nowhere to screw things up for all the real teams in the league. This is meant with no disrespect, because the Titans are a very successful organization historically…but come on…Vince Young?! I just don’t get it.If the Titans win the Super Bowl, I’m buying every lottery ticket I can get my hands on.
