Former #Titans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick just said on the Halftime show “there is no doubt you keep Dobbs as your starter next week.” Do you agree with that?

My 7-year old son just said to me, “Daddy the Tennessee Titans are bad at football”. Then he said goodnight and went to bed.

I am being told that the No. 1 target for the #Vols as their next OC is Hugh Freeze but there may be some hoops to jump through. But he is the leader in the clubhouse.

#Titans are the Number 1 seed in the AFC. Mike Vrabel should win Coach of the Year and the King is returning. I would say a pretty good day for Tennessee.

#Titans ran for over 200 yards today. It’s the only thing that works for them. They are a one-dimensional offense. No defense is worried about their passing game. The only chance they have of that changing is getting AJ Brown back. Julio Jones is a non factor the rest of the way.

I never thought I would ever say this in my lifetime. I started covering the #Titans in 1998 at Vanderbilt Stadium and have always thought we’ll NEVER see a RB better than Eddie George in this market. Derrick Henry is the best running back we’ve seen in Nashville.

Matt Duchene 10:04 of ice time. He has 1 goal in last 12 games. Filip Forsberg played 11:08. Has 2 goals in last 10 games. Both vs Devils. Ryan Johansen played 12:10. Has 5 points (2G-3A) in the last 15 games. HC John Hynes has been consistent about his message on playing time

Been tough day knowing we've lost Floyd Reece. When he was the #Titans GM he did an hour of radio with @georgeplastertn @WillyD1025 & me every Friday at 5:00pm. How many GMs in the NFL do that? And then being around him at @1025TheGame over the years. He never changed! RIP Floyd

It’s evident #Preds GM Barry Trotz being a head coach in the NHL for a quarter of a century served him well. He clearly knows what a “serial winner” looks like and who they are. This team has rejuvenated the fan base. Now we wait to see if it translates to the playoffs.

Tough decisions now face #Preds GM Barry Trotz. This franchise has been to the playoffs 16 out of the last 20 seasons and has made it out of the 1st round only 5 times. I know he’s only going into Year 2 as the GM but he may need to rip the band-aide off some things.
