I hope the Raiders win the Super Bowl. It won't happen and I'm asking for a miracle, but after this whole Antonio Brown fiasco and the shit he pulled (which is looking more and more like a preplanned conspiracy to get to the Patriots), I want them to do well just to rub it in his asshole-face.

So watching the game tonight....

Truth be told I am a Packers stockholder, but I am a Titans fan first.

Now I know, no one is going to read this, but this is more about me remembering than you reading.

Got me thinkng about my NFL fandom over the years.

I grew up in Nashville which was not within 3 hours of any NFL team. So there was no team "everyone" loved.

When I was a small child growing up in the 70's I was a Dolphins fan first because I thought the helmet was cool. I had a small replica I could wear.

But as the 70's progressed, most kids my age liked the Cowboys or Steelers. I chose the Cowboys because I thought they had cool helmets. I was like 6.

One day after work my dad comes home and suprises me with this bad boy.



This is electric football for those who don't know. At first they used to only have "yellow" and "white" teams but at some point in the early 70's they started putting the two Super Bowl teams from that year in every box.

I got The Vikings and The Raiders (The 75 Super Bowl matchup). My dad knows I am a "Cowboys fan", and lets me look at the order form to get two more teams. I pick the Cowboys, my dad selects the Packers for me, because they were his childhood team.

Not long after I come home on a Sunday and the Cowboys are playing the Packers. This is like 1977.

My sister starts cheering for the Cowboys.

I mean seriously?

From that moment in 1977 till1999 I am a huge Packers fan. And not just "a fan" I had my school picture every year taken in Packers gear, which was hard to find in the 70's and 80's especially in Tennessee. I was obsessed with the Packers.

My mom's last gift to me was a share of Packers stock. and as an "owner" I watched them win the 1996-1997 Super Bowl.

But in 1999 The Oilers officially became the Titans. New stadium new identity in my hometown, and I went to the first game. The first NFL game in my home town. My neighbors, my freinds, my state, my city, we now had something of our own. I just remember looking at the skyline and the field thinking "I have to cheer for this team".

So the Titans became my "AFC" team.

But the very next year I am given tickets to Packers vs Titans. I went in cheering for the Pack, I left knowing I was a Titans fan.

I still like them both, but the Titans are the home team. For the last 22 years the Titans have been my team, and I went seven years going to every open practice. When I say I am a fan I mean my love for the Titans is pretty epic....lol.

Regardless I still root for the team of my childhood, The Pack.

But....

How did you becaome a fan of the team you cheer for?
By bloodline

My grandfather and dad are/were huge raiders fans and growing up in the east bay area its a no brainer. I have a workbook from 3rd grade that asks kids a bunch of questions one of them being who is your favorite football team and I eagerly answered raiders even crudely drawing the raider shield lol.

My uncle always tried to convert me to 49ers by buying me jerseys and stuff but I just never cared for them. I don't root for any other teams unless its another team facing someone in out division.

While I fully enjoy football I don't get into it hardcore unless its raiders.

Thing is though KC has rattled off quite a few long ass returns and or touchdowns it's a double edged sword. If they let them recieve and got a long return or td ppl would say why not kick it so they couldn't return it?

Just a colossal screwup in the last seconds of a game lol damn.

Titans.....

So Mariotta played out of his mind today.

seriously?

After the Colts loss,because of a missed field goal.

and the Jag's debacle....a team not inspired at all....

The Titans decide to come out and play.

This is a playoff team, that with an above average QB could be special.

However this is who we are, a team that could be a contender that has a below average QB. Marcus will play well enough in crunch time to make us consider re-signing him.....if we do we are screwed for another 3-4 years.

My only hope is that Marcus finally gets it and we go a roll, but I doubt it.

We will beat the Bills next week IMO. But from that point out....who knows?

best case scenario we get out customarily 9 wins, maybe making the playoffs.

in reality I would say best case scenario for this team is that they go 0-12 he rest of the season and actually draft a great QB. But the reality is we will go 6-6. re-sign Marcus and be an also ran for another 5 years.

If Mariota wants to convince the Titans to resign him with a new contract, he's gonna have to earn it. I'm highly doubt he can play like he did against the Falcons in most of the games. But we have to remember, that the Falcons has an awful defense. I'm not saying Mariota's performance was dumb luck, he owned the Falcons D, but there are tougher defense that can cause problems for Mariota, and our offensive line.

Sunday's game against the Bills will be challenging for Mariota. Their defense has been solid all season.

It's about time the NFL dropped the hammer on Vontaze Burfict by suspending him for the rest of the season. He's doesn't give a shit about the rules. He's a danger to every opposing NFL player on offense. The NFL should take it a step further by banning him for life.
