Titans RB LeGarrette Blount Punching People Again

Former Oregon RB LeGarrette Blount is back in the news for throwing a punch. The rookie Tennessee Titans RB punched defensive end Eric Bakhtiari in the helmet, after the final play of practice. Reports say the punch connected with Bakhtiari’s facemask, which doesn’t hurt.

A few of my Twitter colleagues feel differently about Blount because of the Boise St incident, I do not.  I think Blount has put that incident behind him, and today the rigors and competitive pressure of the NFL got to him.  Plus his coach, Jeff Fisher is rolling:

I am not disappointed whatsoever,” Fisher said.  “His past is his past.  Is that the first punch you’ve seen at camp this year?  No.  OK.  I am not disappointed whatsoever.  I have great confidence in the young man that he has learned from his mistake and is very competitive.”

Ghettooh: Vince Young Involved In Strip Club Brawl

Vince Young might be taking an extended vacation in the near future after getting into a brawl at a tittie (was that p.c.?) bar in Dallas early Sunday morning. The brawl took place at the Onyx Strip Club and was caught by a security camera. Young is the lead suspect in the altercation as he appears to be the instigator, rushing a dude that looks like a backup singer for the O’Jays before going out of frame. Guaranteed Commissioner Goodell has already beent seen the tape and has a 2-6 game suspension ready for Young once the police investigation takes it’s course.

At first everything appears to be cool as Young chops game with another dude rocking a solid suit and going as far as to give him a nifty handshake as a sign of down-ness. It then appears that the O’Jays-looking dude starts talking a little heat (probably as a result of drinking some ‘gnac…too much ‘gnac) and Young doesn’t take to kindly to it. After an initial verbal confrontation and separation, Young leaves the room only to return moments later on a mission to bust some ass.

This couldn’t come at a worst possible time for Young, who had a solid 2009 season after getting beat out by the old head that is Kerry Collins during last offseason. Young was poised to run the show for the Titans this season, appearing to get back into the good graces of Jeff Fisher, showing some maturity from the guy that was almost given the boot in Tennessee. Now Young has given the Titans yet another reason to give him the boot or a seat back on the bench.

Sick Whip: Chris Johnson’s Ridin’ Clean In The Streets

If you didn’t know that Titans running back Chris Johnson aka CJ2K was a real-life Legend, welp, just take a look at his whip. Johnson uploaded this picture on his twitter account with the following caption, “My donk on 30inch sliders done talking whoever want it.” CJ also went classy with the color scheme, fashioning his ride in green and gold likely following the motto of the Archbishop Don “Magic” Juan, “green for the money and gold for the honey. Johnson probably spent more on his sliders, than he did on the entire car. But it ain’t tricking if you got it and after another Pro Bowl season, Johnson definitely has some cheese to burn.

Whilst most dudes that get League checks opt for luxury automobiles like Benz’s and Range Rovers, Johnson has decided to keep it hood, with this old school sitting pretty on some Clarke Hinkle’s (google it). With a car that sticks out like this, Johnson better not ever commit a crime, because he won’t be too hard to find.

Chris Johnson Says Ted Ginn’s Afraid To Race Him

The Titans and Dolphins will square off this weekend in a battle that could have playoff implications. But Titans running back Chris Henry aka “Every Coach’s Dream” alerted the South Florida media to another potential square-off, that never came to reality. During the Titans weekly conference call with the opposing team’s media on Wednesday, Johnson told reporters that he was suppose to race against Dolphins wide receiver special teamer Ted Ginn aka “Every Offensive Coordinator’s Nightmare,” but when it was time to put up or shut up, Ginn was a no-show.

Johnson, arguably one of the fastest player’s in the NFL and the man Gus Johnson famously dubbed as having “gettin’ away from the cops speed,” claims that he and Ginn made arrangements to race at a party during the offseason but when Johnson went down to the street to see what was what, Ginn never showed up. Johnson set a record at the NFL Combine a few years back, running a 4.24 40-yd dash which was the fasted electronic time in the history of the event and single-handedly got him drafted in the first round. Ginn has been clocked in the late 4.3’s, a fact which surely weighed on his decision not to get blasted by Johnson.

Guaranteed both men will be looking to outshine each other during the matchup this weekend, but Johnson will undoubtedly put up the better numbers because he is the only one that can actually make a catch, to go along with his near record setting pace on the ground. Via Pro Football Talk

Vince Young Is Back On His Grind

After starting the season 0-6, the Titans have found new life in former 3rd Overall Pick Vince Young, who has led Tennessee to 5 straight victories, including this miraculous come from behind win Sunday against the Cardinals. Young looks like a new man, taking full advantage of a 2nd chance, to make a first impression. With the craziness that has ensued in the AFC this season, the Titans are actually in the hunt for a wild card spot, only one game behind the 6-5 Steelers, Ravens and Jaguars, who are all tied for the final playoff spot.

Young has been doing work since being named the starter in Week 8, completing nearly 63% of his passes for 1,010 yards, 4 TD and 2 interceptions whilst also averaging nearly 30 rushing yards per game during that span. Vince is finally starting to look like he did back in 2006, when he made it to the Pro Bowl by default.

Courtesy: Bud Adams Buys Ad In Buffalo Newspaper

Last week Titans owner Bud Adams was fined 250 stacks for flipping multiple birds in the direction of the Bills sideline during his team’s Week 10 win at the crib. In a good PR move, similar to a courtesy hojo, Adams decided to buy a full page color ad in Sunday’s edition of the Buffalo News to essentially offer an apology for his error in judgment. While the apology may be genuine, it is pretty interesting that ad uses a shot of the team lined up like they are about to get a group anal-gouging.

Are expert research staff did some investigating and discovered the original ad that Adams was going to roll with before switching to the version that actually ran. You can check it out after the jump…

Titans Owner Breaks Major Bread After Flipping Bird

Apparently you’re never too old to tell somebody to go f*ck themselves, which Titans owner Bud Adams decided to do during his team’s win against the Bills Sunday. Now it’s not clear who Adams was directing these birds at, we thought maybe Kerry Collins, while some say it was in the direction of the Bills. Either way once the video went viral you knew it was only a matter of time before the Don Roger Goodell would make Adams break bread for the lapse in judgment.

What’s astonishing is the $250 stacks (thousand) that Adams was fined, which borders on being damn near absurd. Seriously, a quarter million for a hand gesture? Meanwhile Tom Cable gets a slap on the wrist for binging a coach and some of his old boos. This has to be the most expensive bird-flipping ever documented, but the blow to the wallet should be eased by the fact that the Titans have won their last 3 games after starting the season 0-6. We imagine that Adams would have been way saltier if this fine was a result of sad middle fingers instead of happy ones. But since Adams has cake like everyday’s his birthday, the check should be in the mail.

Before the fine was imposed Adams released this statement through the team:

I need to apologize for my actions yesterday near the end of the game. I got caught up in the excitement of a great day, but I do realize that those types of things shouldn’t happen. I need to specifically apologize to the Bills, their fans, our fans and the NFL. I obviously have a great deal of respect for Ralph Wilson and the history we have shared. I also understand there will probably be league discipline for my actions and I will accept those.

Gus Johnson Might Get Suspended For This Call

By all accounts CBS Announcer Gus Johnson is a legend. But the man who has never seen a play that he doesn’t scream about, might be in the some hot water for comments he made during the Jaguars-Titans game this weekend. During Chris Johnson’s, aka “Every Coach’s Dream,” touchdown run in the 3rd quarter Gus exclaimed, “Watch out! He’s got gettin’ away from the cops speed!” If you have ever seen anyone run away from the cops, which we have both witnessed and participated in on occassion, then you know that Johnson’s assessment was pretty accurate. But in his desperate attempt to be catchy, Gus might have crossed the line.

In the wake of Bob Griese’s recent suspension by ESPN for saying NASCAR drive Juan Pablo Montoya was “out having a taco,” you can best believe that the brass at CBS will be releasing some form of apology in the near future. While we don’t think that Gus should be punished in the same manner that Griese was, there should be some type of discipline handed out. But hopefully said discipline will not include removing Gus from the booth for any period of time, because that would just be bad for business.

Just imagine if Ian Eagle or Dick Enberg would have dropped that line, the public outcry would be enormous. Civil rights leaders would attempt to crucify these dudes and the reaction would be comparable to that of Don Imus’ “nappy-headed ho’s” line in regards to the Rutgers Women’s basketball team, which not including their sexual prowess, was fairly accurate….That ain’t nothing but Ultra Perm.
