When Jeff Fisher took over as the head coach of the organization that would become the Tennessee Titans, the team was still located in Houston, Texas, and called the Houston Oilers.  Jeff Fisher spent 17 years with the organization, 16 of them as the head coach, and he did not disappoint fans of the Houston/Tennessee Oilers/Titans during his time with the organization, as he consistently delivered a quality, competitive football program.  Those days are over; Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher is stepping down after 16 seasons leading the Nashville, Tennessee, football franchise.

“We will be forever appreciative of Jeff Fisher’s leadership and accomplishments through his time with our franchise.  We reached some of our greatest heights and experienced some unforgettable moments during his tenure,” said a statement released by the Titans.  “After the season was complete, we had numerous discussions on the direction of the team and were pleased that we were moving forward with Jeff at the helm.  Since that time, it became evident that consensus was increasingly hard to find and reality wasn’t matching the vision we discussed.  It is unfortunate that this decision is coming at this juncture, but we believe that we have reached the point where change is in the best interest of both parties.  We will start the head coaching search tomorrow.  We expect to talk to a broad and diverse group of candidates.  We are confident the coaching pool still has a number of quality candidates that can lead our football team.”

The most prominent name on the list is that of Titans offensive line coach Mike Munchak, who is a favorite of Tennessee Titans owner and borderline nutjob Bud Adams.  Adams is the reason Fisher is stepping down as Titans coach, no matter what they say.  Bud Adams loves Vince Young, despite Vince Young’s lack of work ethic and mediocrity as an NFL quarterback, and Jeff Fisher was tired of having to deal with VY’s mental instability, general whining, and mood problems.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
