Fiat Lux… And Fiat LuxURY!
The Titans are always at the leading edge of innovation in the NFL. For example, on Monday they just installed lights on one of the three fields at their training facility. Lights! The kind that run on some sorcery called el-ek-tris-soty. Sounds evil, but it grants them the ability to run drills at night without the use of a bordering phalanx of druids holding votive candles. Those druids are threatening to unionize, you know.
Here are some other additions the Titans eventually hope to add to training camp:
The forward pass.
Next year: concrete in the parking lot.
A can opener, so Albert Haynesworth doesn’t have to open groceries with his foot.
Mashed potatoes now made with potatoes
Water
Pillow cases now filled with pillows
Invites to wide receivers
Brisket with 30 percent less gym mats.
Really nice trough for LenDale
Shiny yard-marking rocks
Tabletop Pacman machine (not functioning)
Animals that perform the tasks of basic appliances, but not without giving you lip first
Wii Fit for LenDale (Jevon Kearse will use it though - old people love that shit)
Coach’s loudspeaker that operates on fist-pumping

Perhaps they’ll also tow the old Nova that up on blocks on the 15 yard line.

No more pelican garbage disposals, eh?
It’s a living.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:10 am
I heard that the players’ dorms will have actual beds, replacing the cots and sleeping bags previously used by players.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:11 am
I’ve always believed that Titans fans should hold up a banner with the picture of a giant cupcake in the end zone that LenDale is running towards
July 24th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Titans…Titans…? Doesn’t ring a bell.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:15 am
If anything, you’re underestimating the redneck factor at Titans home games. It’s like a family reunion for Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel.
Go there for a game in December, and you’ll see a mass of men in hunting gear and camo, with a few of them shirtless in the cold. More Oakley sunglasses than a Florida Gators game, more Skoal than a truck stop. The fact that they sell giant turkey legs to gnaw on only helps complete the hey-y’all-watch-this! atmosphere.
I was hoping they’d work on getting indoor plumbing added this year, but it looks like another season with the outhouses.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:20 am
@Otto, more Skoal than a truck stop? Sounds like heaven to me.

mmmm… turkey leg
July 24th, 2008 at 9:26 am
mmmm…. pelicans
July 24th, 2008 at 9:28 am
mmmm…….indoor plumbing
July 24th, 2008 at 9:31 am
“phalanx” is one of the best words ever.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:35 am
Will still have to go to the libary’ to rent them up some game film?
July 24th, 2008 at 9:36 am
I can’t wait to see the video of Lendale in his underpants playing the hula hoop game on the wii fit.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Are those turkey legs smoked? I’ll second the “mmmmmmm”
July 24th, 2008 at 9:38 am
And no more bulletin board material from the microfiche!
July 24th, 2008 at 9:41 am
They are smoked and they are delicious.
But once you’ve seen a shirtless guy with half his teeth missing trying to eat one while standing at a urinal, the allure sorta goes away.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Har har har… Now if you will excuse me I need to go buy a pack of USA Gold and beat my wife.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:42 am
There’s very little meat in these gym mats…

Speaking of urinals, I watched a guy on the phone at a Texas game last year drop his celly he was talking on while pissing into the urinal and bend down, scrambling to pick it up, pull it out and put it to his ear screaming: HEY YOU STILL THERE? DARLENE CAN YOU HEAR ME??? FUCK! <—poor example of Texas fans and residents of Austin

Forward passes? The Titans? I don’t believe it for a second.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:05 am
“Knute Rockne called it the forward pass.”
Hey, they have smoked turkey legs at Isotopes games too. Greasylicious.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:09 am
What? Nashville International has metal detectors?

July 24th, 2008 at 10:11 am
if by forward pass you mean a pump-fake, tuck and run 4 yard gain from Young then sure.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Druids is good people.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:15 am
tennessee is classy enough to have urinals? i kind of imagined fans peeing in a trough…
July 24th, 2008 at 10:24 am
I hate you all, but it’s true. You haven’t lived till you have seen two obese men rolling down the stairs in the upper deck of lp field.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Everyone knows the good folks of Tennessee don’t eat until they’re full…they eat until they’re tired.
Hey Otto: you ever see one of those yokels asleep with a turkey leg in his mouth and a 24oz. can of Red Dog on his chest? Now that’s a sight I’d pay not to see.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:36 am
“Go there for a game in December, and you’ll see a mass of men in hunting gear and camo, with a few of them shirtless in the cold.”
Otto Man, you have just described Lambeau Field, Soldier Field, Arrowhead Stadium, Heinz Field, or just about every NFL stadium in the flyover states.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:46 am
And yet when compared to Eagles fans, the Titans flock will come off as reserved, well read, and articulate.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Jackin’, I’ve never seen that, but I have seen things close to Chris’s description of the lardass fight.
Handful, at least in Flyoverland it’s genuinely freezing and the hunting gear’s a necessity. For the Titans fans, it’s more of a fashion statement.

@porky1 - If I weren’t already excited enough about my relocation to ABQ, I now am.
July 24th, 2008 at 11:00 am
@chris-bessmervin
I had to Google “USA Gold” (in quotes!) to figure out if it was beer or cigarettes. I eventually figured out that it’s cigs, but damn man, don’t make me work like that!
July 24th, 2008 at 11:04 am
@Italian - They are probably a dollar a soft pack. They pair well with a nice vintage Busch lite.
July 24th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Perhaps using Fieldgoals instead of soccer nets might help as well.
July 24th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Another needed addition: White quarterback.
July 24th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Adopting the forward pass sounds awful close to changing how the game is played. Evolving, one might say. And that, friends, is nigh on to teaching Darwin, which as we all know, is illegal in Tennessee.
July 24th, 2008 at 11:27 am
its funny someone said something about pissing in a trough because at UT’s stadium thats what they have lol
July 24th, 2008 at 11:30 am
@Sir Jackasparus: Merrill Hoge? Is that you?
July 24th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Coming next year, a PA system that plays Hey Ya all the damn time.
July 24th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
That was the thing about going to the games. Nashville is almost nothing like the rest of Tennessee. However, the rest of Tennessee was well represented at the games. Yep, lots of camo, chew and possum/human hybrids.
Oh and the turkey legs are damn good.
