So, I'm stealing an idea from Florio over at profootballtalk.com. It occurred to me that I frequentl sit here with my laptop during Titans games, so I'm going to share my thoughts on the game as it's going along. Yeah, I know you are thrilled, but it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something here. So, without further adieu…

I'm starting late, but I've witnessed the battle of the kickers and the drop by Troupe. Seriously, why do we have Troupe again? He comes in on about 8 plays a game and can't catch anything.

We're just into the second quarter…

I know everyone is just saying that Haynesworth is in a contract year, but DAMN he is like another Vanden Bosch. He's a lot bigger and can move the bodies around on the line. Moving him to play beside Vanden Bosch was genius!

I'm making myself laugh at the name Justin Fargas. I wonder if the Fargas family calls their mom "Mother Fargas"? That name isn't as good as the South Carolina QB tho. Hard to beat the name Smelly. I wonder if we could get Smelly to play that kid from California – Booty? Get it? Yeah, potty humor is the lowest form of humor you know…

In other news, it looks like the St. Louis offense has shown up for their game against Cleveland. But then… it's CLEVELAND. 

Here comes another field goal attempt from Oakland. OMG, I think Gannon just called the Raiders QB "Daunte Culpecker". Quick! Where is the Tivo remote….

Yup, Daunte Culpecker. Nice Rich! We were thinking of calling him the same thing, actually. But, probably not when he goes for a three and out.

Rob Ryan (the Raiders Defensive Coordinator) looks kinda like a pirate. He's got "angry pirate" hair.

Haynesworth had another one of those AMAZING moves. He had a hand on Culpecker before he handed it off to the running back. Wow. I think there should only be one year contracts in the NFL!

Another field goal. And we're at the half…

And we're back

Haynesworth playing against Robert Gallery is like ME playing against Haynesworth. After a while you just feel bad for the guy. 

Okay, the "You wouldn't make it in Pro Football" commercials has yet another gem. The guy grilling who gets a call from Madden come show his stuff on the tackling sled? Priceless. Holy cow, that's terrific.

Wow. Sims moved again. That's the third penalty today. This guy is scared to DEATH of Vanden Bosch. He's more scared of KVB than a cheeseburger that sees Sapp walk into a room.

Touchdown Titans! From the new guy, Chris Henry. He came in to spell White and ended up getting to blast through a hole in the line. Excellent! That guy is FAST.

Yet another sack. And a penalty! Culpecker is really being made to look slow. Our defense swarms him and it's over, Johnny. He can't escape anymore. 

Wow, Sapp totally got away with a late hit on the sideline there. He must not have cared for my cheeseburger joke from earlier.

I think the real problem is that Sapp is disappointed that he took that fat contract from Oakland when he could have played for a real team. So, he's taking it out on Young.

Yes! Sack Culpecker and we have the ball! 

We converted it for a FG. So, it's 13-9 now. Which isn't as cool as a TD, but oh well.

You know Rich Gannon is sitting up there thinking he could do a better job than Culpecker.

Wow, 70 yard punt. That's actually one of the few bright spots for the Raiders today. 

Intercepted! Another bad pass from Culpecker.

Two minute warning. And a few signs of life from the Raiders. And… sacked again. 

And that's the ball game folks. Wow, the lack of offense (on both sides) was kind of scary. Vince looked uncomfortable at times, but he got the job done. And I suppose that's all we need. See you guys next week!
