Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[knoxvol52]

Came back from being down 3 to 1. Willie Stargell willed them to win. Pirates rotation was not too shabby either. Bert Blyleven, John Candelaria, Bruce Kison, Don Robinson, Jim Bibby and Kent Tekulve for the save. I spent my summers listening to KDKA AM after sundown to catch the last 3 to 4 innings every night in the 70s.

Can't remember was Manny Sanguillen on that team or was he before?

Don't think we will ever see another Manager as high strung as Earl Weaver ..

never see a secret cigarette pocket sewn into a uniform again

Remember Earl calling his closer Don "full pack" Stanhouse.

Drop to #6 after first loss of season? After starting 14-0? Behind 3 2 loss teams? That’s absurd. If that was Duke, UK, Kansas, or NC, they MAY have dropped to #2 at worst.

As much as I’d like to complain…we lost by 30 points.

Former Titans GM Ran Carthon on 104.5 The Zone this morning with Ramon Foster.

I'll say this... Ran is a good dude. He hasn't gone scorched Earth. He hasn't thrown anyone under the bus. He hasn't called anyone out or made any soundbites. The only issue he addressed was the report that he's lazy, and all he said was, "That's never been a word used to describe me and it came from someone who doesn't know me." (I assume PK and maybe a little bit of Brinker). Said he was going to do some travelling and help around the house and has already been contacted by a few folks saying, "We're going to let the dust settle then we will talk," about getting hired somewhere.

I don't think he was the bee's knees as a GM but the Titans failed in firing him right now. Tea leaves now show that in back to back years, it was Chad Brinker who butted heads with Vrabel and slandered him out the door and now Brinker didn't like Ran's philosophy and slandered him out the door too.

And it's Chad Brinker that wanted to interview a 36 year old former lawyer from Montreal Canada? He trusts a person who grew up speaking French and has only worked in football since 2015?

Over Ran Carthon, former NFL player that has worked in the league since 2008.

And Mike Vrabel, all American, pro bowler, 15 year vet, college and NFL assisant coach, head coach that got the number 1 seed with the most banged up roster in NFL history, with Ryan Tannehill running the show.

Chad Brinker-Logical thinker....

The Titans look so doomed...ugh.

Yeah, we only lost once though. What justification does a 2 loss team have over a 1 loss, former #1 team?

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

And then a team described as “bad” had us on the ropes. In the grand scheme of things, basketball rankings don’t matter till end of February, first of March. We’ll be fine.

Honestly I think Some of the narrative that was used against Carthon was somewhat reinforced in that interview........... And I was completely on the incompetent ownership/front office train....... Now I'm not so sure after that interview.

If you're going to snort cocaine out of a stripper's ass, Vegas is the place to do it.


I mean, so I've heard.

Totally agree but we all know it’s not gonna happen. You know our motto, we don’t overspend at TN.

Correct, and therefore most likely won't be seeing a playoff or playoff championship game anytime soon if that motto holds true.

SO the Penn State DC is off to Clemson. I'm sure Jimmy Franks & Beans will be knocking the door down to bring Ol' Timmy home.
