Jeff Fisher Is Prepared For All Outcomes
I would like to take a moment to address the criticism made by some of the members of the media directed at this organization’s decision not to take a receiver until the 4th round this past weekend.
Frankly, we feel as though we have a solid but unheralded receiving corps that is capable of accomplishing great things if given greater time to congeal as a unit. That talent coupled with the recent acquisition of Pro Bowl tight end Alge Crumpler has us in a position where we feel like we have already taken the next step from playoff team to Super Bowl contender.
[Door flies open]
Vince Young: AAAAAAHHHHHHH Fuck! I’m on fire! AH AAAAHH AAAAAAAHHH
Fisher: Hello Vince.
Reporter: Coach Fisher! Does Vince Young being in a state of combustion affect the strategy of this team going forward?
Fisher: We have integrated the fire into our larger off-season strategy, but whether we will acquire the means to extinguish it depends largely on cap room and the availability of fire safety equipment on the free agent market.
In fact, I have just been made aware that the Tennessee Titans have just acquired an undrafted wet nap to address the situation.
[Tosses wet nap on Young to no noticeable effect]
Reporter: Will that be enough? The smell of burning flesh is getting to be pronounced.
Fisher: The moisture from the wet nap will extinguish the fire.
Reporter: Are you sure?
Fisher: Well, either that or the fire will just burn out. There’s not much around here to keep it going.
Young: Ohmigod! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH HELP MEEEEEEEE!
Reporter: Won’t Young be dead by the time the fire burns out on its own?
Fisher: That is a possibility, but we really can’t entertain speculation at this point. We’ll assess our quarterback situation once the fire goes out and make the necessary adjustments.
Thank you.
[Pumps fist and walks off]

Pretty much sums it up.

Fisher better be careful. He has running backs stacked like cordwood in that office. He could lose three or four of them to the flames, and only have a half dozen left.

Sure a heck of alot of doors flying open around here - more and more people seem to be getting a grand entrance.
/door hits in ass on way out

So who set the fire? C’mon Ape, was it Anton Chigurh or not? Or maybe it was Norm Chow as the door flew open and hit him in the ass on his way out of Tennessee.
Only J-Fish really knows the truth.

Just when you thought football could not get any more boring in TN.

Now Lendale White can make Smores!

Luckily, it’s a Vince Young fire, so it’ll only burn less than 60% of his body. He should be good to go for mini camp next week.

“McNair never let a body-engulfing fire stop HIM from playin’.”

Vince didn’t start the fire because he would have missed himself completely, probably would have lit mathis’ hair on fire… cut your goddamn dreds hippie

[...] • The Titans keep getting bashed for skimping on the wide receiver position in the draft. Apparently, some folks seem to think that the team’s lack of attention in this area might somehow be detrimental to Vince Young’s career. [...]

i like how you used “congeal” to describe the titans recieving corps. seems appropriate

Combustion? No. Methinks Pacman broke into his grenade stash again.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Titans shoulda drafted a midget WR so VY’s passes would finally hit a receiver in the numbers instead of the logo on their cleats

I’d like to thank Ape for this post. The photo inspired me to rewatch “Man on Fire” last night (the Denzel remake).
Great film. The judicial policeman tortured in his car gives it eight fingers up!

LenDale White would basically make a grease fire. You can’t put that out with water. You’ve got to smother it. Possibly using baking soda. I’m sure Jeff Fisher has already foreseen such a possibility though.

See, this is why they were so short-sighted in getting rid of Pac-Man. He would come in, make it rain, and before you know it the fire is extinguished.

What the hell do you people want? A greater than 6% success rate in drafting WRs??? Good luck you bunch of Kiper Juniorses. They all can’t turn out like Mason who incidentally can still catch the fuck out of some 8 yd button hooks.
