Vince was not allowed to attend the team's meeting yesterday. He showed up, and that spineless Jeff Fisher sent his cronies to tell Vince to go home. It's good to see so many Titans fas calling for Jeff Fisher's head on a platter. He's a joke of a coach, but like so many other mediocre sports heads he's got the media all on his nuts creating a false picture of him...and the entire scene here in TN.

It's no secret that Jeff was trying to recreate USC here by brining in Norm Chow and wanting to draft that other flunky Matt Leinart. It must've really sucked for Jeff to watch his boy get spanked by VY and Texas, and then have Bud Admas draft him on top of that. Fisher's been antangonizing VY from day one with his yo-yo antics, and helping to create a false image of VY as being a head case and publicly insulting him on top by declaring that "Collins/ Smith gives us the best chance of winning", when all VY has done is win...and ironically enough save Fisher's job a couple of years back.

So fuck Jeff Fisher, and fuck the entire sports media with all their nut kissing biased assed analyst who don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

^^ And this post is from a guy that didn't even want VY either, but let's be objective here. Fisher is the one with the maturity problem. His interest is not on winning or supporting his boss's and teammates wishes, and he's been fucking with VY's brand from day one.

FINALLY some truf where Vince is concerned. It's so obvious Fisher has had it out for him since he was drafted and has gone out of his way to assassinate his character in the media. And these fucking talking heads are so eager to buy into the underperforming black QB storyline and jump at the opportunity to crucify him despite the fact that he's got the 5th best win % among QBs with 45 games or more. All the while these other bum QBs get chance after undeserving chance. Imagine how much better he would be with a coach who actually believed in him and wasn't trynna undermine him constantly.

This is the problem with the media. Unless you are HERE in Nashville TN with the true insiders you can only go by what idiots like Trent Dilfer say. Trent Dilfer? What a fucking joke! He and other sports anal-ists are so quick to get on TV and say that Bud has to make a decision between VY and Jeff Flunky, and the obvious choice is to get rid of VY. But here locally that is not the case. The locals here have BEEN fed up with Jef f Flunky's non-play calling ass and have BEEN wanting him to go. Sure you will always have your rednecks that believe a millionaire negro boy had better know and stay in his place. But the objectives ones, the TRUE fans, have been knowing about Jeff's bullshit antics for a while...AND.IT.IS.HURTING.THE.TEAM It is HIS fault, not VY's.

I didn't want to draft Vince or any of the Class of 06 QBs. But dude has earned my respect over the years. Even though to the TRUE fans the obvious choice is to get rid of Jeff-17yrs-.557win percentage-ultraconservative -Stevie Wonder can see the next play you called-cant win a playoff game-SoCal and USC loving-TX player hating ass-Flunky I think Vince should get the hell out of here and get wih an organization that knows how to capitalize on his passion and desire to win.

Lol. Go to the local boards here in TN. Fans are livid with Jeff Fisher. Well, the smart and informed ones are. Fans were in the stands Sunday booing the play-calling. We got Randy fucking Moss, and Jeff is wanting to run the ball all the time. But yeah, it's Vince's fault.

And that's what I be trynna tell ya'll about the Cowboys all the time. The media is what keeps this perception of Jerry as the egomaniacal owner going, when in reality, he's changed a great deal since Parcells was here. Jerry wants to win at ANY cost. He's made a concerted effort to let the coach do his job UNTIL he loses faith in them and THEN he'll have something to say. He's not on the sidelines calling plays but that's the image that plays on Sportscenter. He ain't perfect and has made mistakes, BUT it's nowhere near what the media and public believe about him.

The fact that he's made a lackluster team THE most valuable sports franchise for the last 16 years and wrote a billion dollar personal check for the BEST arena in the world, again for a non-championship, non-playoff winning team, says a lot about Jerry's skill as an owner. Now he ain't the best GM in the world but he's had his moments.

Same thing with TO. The media still casts him as some "team killer" and the ill-informed public buys into it cuz there has to be a bad guy and if he's a loud, boastful black man, even better. He was an exemplary teammate while he was here and his issues were not with Romo or Witten. Sure they had a blowup but TO was 1000% correct when he called out Garrett's predictable play calling and Romo's over dependence on Witten. Two years AFTER he left we're still paying the price for that shit. His teammates loved and respected TO and that was evident locally. But on the same day I see DWare and tons of other players on the local news (and privately) saying that TO was right and they support him, ESPN is reporting that the team is disarray because of TO.

ESPN has been garbage for a long time.

I’m seriously falling out of love with the NFL much like I did with the NBA some 10 years ago, but for different reasons. The NFL is becoming too much like the recording industry, where corporate interest and a manufactured image is all that really matters. $$$$$ They pad the rules to make the QBs appear to be better than they really are, pay them huge sums of money that don’t match their true skill set, and already have Peyton Manning’s name etched on the MVP Award by week 5, just a token reward for all his corporate sponsors. When he has a bad game and continues to nut up in the playoffs is he chastised by the media for doing too many commercials, time that could have been spent better preparing for games? Hell no. Dude is still a choker, just like he was in college. They manufacture villains where there aren’t any, and conveniently those villains look more like you and me. The media act like Brett Favre invented the football, and that all the gods in heaven will forever curse you if you say one negative thing about him. The media always talk about the same profitable teams regardless of how awful those teams may be, and the teams that don’t generate a lot of money gets NO love, LOL, even when they are having a great season. If AZ had that success without Kurt Warner, a media darling, nobody would have really cared. The anal-ists have no objectivity whatsoever, think they know-it-all when in reality ALL they do is speculate. Hell, anybody can get on TV and chit chat. “What you think, SCNDLS?” “Naw, what YOU think, Adisa? Let’s ask uPtoWnNY.” “Well, there you have it folks. Tune in tomorrow.”

Truth of the matter is as much as i dislike the arrogant sucker Chris Johnson is the

meal ticket in Tennessee. Randy should get a few passes thrown his way but the Jeff

Fisher way has always been to pound the rock and play d. When you have a dude with 4.2 speed

in your backfield and can take it the distance on any given play you give him the ball.

As much as TRY to support the Cowboys, I am absolutely baffled how year after year no matter who was under center or calling the plays they are ALWAYS touted as Superbowl bound by the talking heads. Even coaches and former players who are now analysts, ignore everything they know is true and sit up there talking about how good they are. I be like, "Are ya'll looking at the same team I'm looking at???" That's when I realized they don't know what the fuck they talking about MOST of the time.

The ONLY year I thought they had a chance was wade's first year when they went 13-3 yet Romo fumbled the snap. Everything is about marketing and PR, the guys in white hats and those in black. Fuck a draft just go to central casting and line up a bunch of actors cuz that's pretty much how the NFL works now.

SCNDLS said:...I am absolutely baffled how year after year no matter who was under center or calling the plays they are ALWAYS touted as Superbowl bound by the talking heads.

Because they're loaded. On paper, the Cowboys still have the best talent in the NFC East. If they can 'get it together', they're a 12-win team. What they need is a hard-ass coach who will hold mfers accountable.

That's NOW. I'm talking about back in the day when Chan Gailey and dumb ass Dave Campo were coaching stellar talent like weedhead Quincy Carter. The media be giving the Lombardi trophy to them in training camp. That shit drives me bonkers.

Coughlin sat Ahmad Bradshaw's fumbling ass down. Jacobs will start against the Jaguars.

Looks like tomorrow's game is going to be the biggest selling game in the NFL. Keith Urban's doing the halftime show and a free concert tonight. Geee too bad I'm going to see Usher instead. Decisions, decisions.

You're right about the media falling in love with certain teams and players. While the media has been focusing on both New York Teams, New England, New Orleans, and recently Michael Vick and the Eagles, they have poo-poohed the Atlanta Falcons and virtually ignored the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Atlanta only happens to be tied with New England and the New York Jets for the best record in the NFL (8-2), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the same record as Philly, New Orleans, Green Bay, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Chicago (7-3). But since neither Atlanta nor Tampa Bay have any recognizable superstars, and because neither of their head coaches have outsized personalities, the sports media act as though they don't matter.

... And, it's been over-the-top, this season. There are countless stories being fed to the mess of a daily paper here, where it's clear the sole purpose is to smear VY as being an immature, stupid, sissified amateur.

And, shucks, I hate the Titans. But, that's pretty messed up.

Even more messed up to me is the level of shadiness displayed by folks acting as analysts pretending to give unbiased opinions.

Case in point: Tony Dungy pretending to give an unvarnished opinion about how "nobody is there more for his players than Coach Fisher" -- when the two are friends. Good friends. So good that Fisher caught flak last year for sporting a Peyton jersey at a benefit Dungy was involved in.

And, there's a string of ex-Titans talking about how dirtily Fisher did them... No thanks. Put away that meat you're selling. Ain't buyin' it.

The Falcons need to win a superbowl. Yes they are playing good, maybe not having the media focusing on them is a good thing.

AlexdeParis said:

Tampa Bay will receive more attention when they actually do something of note. They've lost to all 3 winning teams they faced, including blowouts to Pittsburgh and New Orleans. Atlanta has received plenty of press and they still have the NFC's best record. They're undefeated everywhere except Pennsylvania, where they're 0-2. Considering that loss in Philadelphia was to the Vick-less Eagles, you can see why people aren't ready to just pencil them in to the Super Bowl.

Exactly. Who cares about media attention anyway???????

The Falcons and Bucs both lost to the Steelers (and Ben didn't play in both those games)

If Roy Williams secures the damn ball, Cowgirls would have scored and iced the game.

That was some strip. And Williams was just a-smiling after it happened...

That coulda happened to anybody but he's taken the responsibility. I lay 60% of the blame on dumbass Garrett plays that left about 9 points on the field and 40% on the Defense who couldn't stop my grandma and she's dead and allowed Brees to go 80 yards in a matter of seconds. Terence Newman is HORRIBLE and his play was much more shameful than Roy's.

The one time I needed the Cowgirls to win, they screw it up. Giants are on the outside looking in for a wild card spot.

Garrett made some serious rookie coaching decisions...if he wants the job long term...he has to do better than punt when you're in field goal range... OK SCNDLS,is it true that people in Dallas are saying the Garrett sabotage the offense all year to get Wade fired?

Well, my Chicago Bears may be among the teams which are 7-3, but I still have a sinking feeling that they are going to miss the playoffs. They have a tough final stretch beginning tomorrow, with road games against their divisional opponents and the remaining three home games against Philly with Michael Vick being on fire, the New York Jets (who will blitz Jay Cutler like crazy, and if he isn't killed by their defensive ends, he will throw a bunch of interceptions to the best secondary in the NFL), and the New England Patriots who just happen to have Tom Brady playing up to his Super Bowl levels. They will probably beat Detroit, and they will probaby beat Minnesota too, especially if Brett Favre is still trying to drag his old body off the turf and the Vikes aren't playing Tavaris Jackson by that time, but they will end up 9-7 and being knocked out of playoff contention by their hated rivals the Green Bay Packers.
