It utterly amazes me how a guy who left UT six months ago still causes this much crap on this site.

I'm fairly certain that puns could theoretically be awarded, but it very rarely happens in contract cases. And if no tangible damages could be proven, there absolutely won't be punitive damages. In that case, the most the Titans would get would be nominal damages, which recognizes a technical breach of contract without the plaintiff being able to prove any real damages.

Sound analysis. If the action caused no real damage, there's no rational basis under the law for punishing the conduct.

Why the hell have contracts in the first place then? If there is no plenty for not honoring the contract why even bother?

He could/would have been in breach and if the Titans found out it could be the basis of termination. There certainly is a reason to have contracts.

You can't just sue people for random things and expect to win when you can't prove a damage.

The whole lawsuit makes very little sense based on the limited information I have.

Why would you think this has anything to do with the NCAA? USC has every right to contact any NFL coach it wants. This thing has nothing to do with anything. It's stupidity on the Titans part, instead of just speaking their peace and moving on, they make a big deal out of something that is a nothing burger. I am confused as to why everyone is still talking about this.

The Cowboys were in the playoffs last year. Remind me what the Oilers did in the postseason last year. If the Cowboys are the Notre Dame of the NFL, does that make the Oilers the Kansas State or South Florida of the pro game?

I'm getting that you're making a joke here, but anyways

in the 10 championships the AFL had before merger

the Oilers were in the first 3 championship games, and they won the league's first 2

and then they later appeared in a 4th

Then being a part of a fanbase that abandoned teams they had rooted for and jumped on the Oilers bandwagon because Phil Bredesen bowed before an idiot like Bud Adams must be tough.

Two of best things the state of Tennessee has ever done for Texas is give us Sam Houston, and take Bud Adams.

Florida State has won it all. Thus, the Oilers don't deserve that comparison.

florida state's one small run of being good in the 90s and being bad elsewhere seems to favor it

2 championships each and multiple years of either being terribly incompetant or good better never great enough to be the best so they get waxed by another, better team (sounds very similar honestly)

(I get you want to insult the oilers/titans as much as you can, but they're not vandy/UK/KSU....that's the lions, browns, Cardinals, texans more than anyone else....heck honestly you could throw Jax in there too as well as Seahawks and probably panthers - sorry panthro :( )

Since they moved before I really followed football, not really. Most people my age are similar. And the older ones aren't nearly as obnoxious as the Steelers fans who go around yelling at everyone and holding 5 fingers up in the air.

One small run? Florida State finished in the top 5 something like 15 straight years. The Oilers are mere filler in the NFL.

The Cardinals, Panthers, and Seahawks all have just as many Super Bowl appearances as the Oilers.

So then they should be just as bad, no? but from earlier what you were saying, I understood the former houston team sound no better than the lions, perhaps even worse

(in retrospect though, I did make that list too long; it should have been about maybe 4-5 teams)

Honestly I'm trying to converse more than debate a point (or adamently argue as most here on this board tend to do)with you here.....but I'm realizing you despise the topic subject with, well almost of your being

Since the Titans have been the Titans, they have twice as many playoff appearances as the Panthers and 3x as many as the Cardinals. The only reason the Seahawks have made it as often is because they kept winning a crappy division and losing in the first round. Don't act like one fluky Super Bowl appearance in a 9-7 season makes the Cardinals an equivalent franchise.

Titans have sold out every single game, including pre season games since their existence. Not too bad for a used car lot franchise.

Sacramento sold out about a trillion straight NBA games at one point. Didn't mean they weren't a meaningless, jerkwater franchise. It proved, like Mullet City, they have nothing else to do.
