LeGarrette Blount Still Throwing Blows



This story is overblown but interesting to say the least. Titans rookie RB, LeGarrette Blount (last seen knocking some Boise State player out) got into a shoving match and punched a Titans teammate yesterday. The guy he punched still had his helmet on, so it was kind of pointless to punch him but people are making a big spectacle about this.

Really, its football. People curse. People fight. Teammates will talk about your mother. Everyone isn't Tim Tebow or Tony Dungy. If you don't like that, then maybe following such a violent sport is not for you.

Chris Johnson Tweets: I Want a New Contract


Titans running back Chris Johnson wants a new contract and has let everyone on Twitter know about it. He published a few tweets that read "I feel like Darrelle Revis, at least they are offering him something" and "how can you expect players to give their all and put their bodies on the line when you are not willing to give them what they deserve."

I've already written an article that explains my position. CJ deserves to be paid. Adrian Peterson makes far more than him. But the problem here isn't Chris, Adrian, the Titans, twitter, or any of that mess.

It's the collective bargaining agreement and the 30% rule. Even if the Titans want to help Chris out they cannot pay him more than 30% of what he is making now unless they want to give him the money as an upfront bonus. That is extremely risky for the team to give a lump sum upfront. No one wants to get "Jamarcused" or "Haynesworthed".

In my opinion, if players like Darrelle Revis, Elvis Dumervil, and Chris Johnson want to see real change their efforts would be better served going at the players union, and not their teams.

The Titans Need to Pay Chris Johnson


The man etched 2,006 rushing yards in 2009 and he made less than one million.

Dear Titans management, you need to pay Chris Johnson. Yes, we all understand that Chris signed a 5 year, $7 million dollar deal as a rookie just two years ago. However that was before he became the best back in football in that two year time span.

Oilers, errrr... Titans coach Jeff Fisher has claimed that a sit down meeting will happen between the Titans and Johnson soon according to Yahoo! Sports.

RB Chris Johnson and the Titans' braintrust need a sit-down meeting, according to coach Jeff Fisher, who would like it to occur before mid-June. Fisher would like for it to happen before the Titans reconvene for their next round of offseason work on June 14. Coincidentally, Johnson will be in Middle Tennessee that very week for his football camp on June 16 at Battle Ground Academy in nearby Franklin, Tenn. "I would assume that there will probably be a sit-down meeting between both sides between now and then and we'll see what happens," Fisher said. "I think it makes sense to get everybody together and that's what we'll push for. There's no purpose, no set agenda, but it makes sense to get together and try to sort everything out."


Currently Johnson is working out in Florida instead of in Nashville with the rest of the team. I don't blame him. Adrian Peterson's last deal was a 6 year, $40 million deal. I'm just saying.
