Or I'd be crying about an "Oh & 2!" here in the Titan's Birthplace.
...all Bud wanted was a new updated stadium remember?
Geezzz, Look what happend in hindsight.
I'm a born Texan, and my son is a Junior at A&M, so there is a great bond between Tennessee and Texas in this household.
I root for the Cowboys and Texans (unless they're playing the Titans or the 49ers). I have two letters from Roger Staubach from when I had my first corneal transplant and knew Calvin Hill when he was a high school football star, so Texas football will always be special to me.
To balance things out, we in Memphis didn't exactly bond with Buddy when he did a "drive by" on us for a year at the liberty bowl, but couldn't be bothered to do any events here, or do training here. Thanks, but no thanks, Bud.
I had the good fortune to ride on a flight from SF to Memphis with Tyrone Calico after he went to the west coast NFL combine before he got drafted. He's a really nice and level headed kid. When he got drafted by the Titans that cemented my current interest in them. Having lived in SF during the Joe Montana era and having been at The Game (1981 NFC Championship Game, SF v Dallas) I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the 40 "f'ing" Niners. Having grown up in NY I used to like the Giants and the Jets, but the cheap shot injury to Montana ended the interest in the "gernts" years ago. The Jets are still living off of Broadway Joe, and that's just sad.
My feelings about most NFL teams go on like that. The Redskins and Packers have always been "the enemy," but how can you not pull for Brett Favre after the performance the weekend his Dad died? Bottom line, I enjoy the NFL and have several teams I pull for. It really gets confusing when two of those teams play each other. But I still enjoy it!
