So blessed to have been doing sports talk radio in Nashville for 23 years. Host of the McFarland Show from 2:00-4:00pm CT weekdays on WNSR

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?
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.
I’ve spent 25 years of my life in the radio business and this person deserves a lot of the credit for that. A no-brainer decision putting

in the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame. A well deserved honor!! Congrats Plas!!
Now play Van Halen’s ‘Jump’…….
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 good to be Filip Forsberg. Off in Spain on a bachelor party and signs a new 8-year deal. 💪🏻👏🏻
#Preds
will have the presser on Monday to make it official.
None of this should come as a shock or surprise to any
#Preds
fan. If all of us are going to keep saying what is the definition of insanity?.!And think a core group that’s been ousted in the first round of the playoffs three years in a row would get a fourth year to try, is naive
Congratulations to
#Predators
Captain Roman Josi for setting a single season career high with 62 points and the record for points by a defenseman in a single season in franchise history.
#Preds
Pekka Rinne wins 2021 King Clancy Memorial Trophy. It is the first time he’s won that in his career. It’s presented to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community. 👏🏻👊🏻💪🏻
I could not be more happier for this CLASS ACT!!! You deserve this moment. CONGRATULATIONS!
Hey Washington, you might want to give him a new contract?.!
#justsayin
I’m excited to get back to the place where it all started for me in this market back in 1998. I hope you’ll join us starting Monday, Oct. 3 as we talk all things sports from Nashville and beyond! See you then.
MAJOR SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT:
Starting October 3rd The McFarland Show with

@ThisJustinTv
will air weekedays from 2-4 PM. A show you won't want to miss with these two Nashville media veterans

This
#Preds
team is currently sitting at the blackjack table with 17 and the dealer is showing a 6 and they’re saying “f it, give me another one” and getting a 4.
#Preds
Roman Josi becomes the 3rd defenseman in the last 30 years to record 12 three point games in a season. He joins Paul Coffey ('93-94) & Phil Housley ('92-93).
9 incredible seasons hosting pregame, postgame and intermissions on
@1025TheGame
and the Preds radio network.
What a ride! Can’t thank Cromwell Radio and
@PredsNHL
enough. 25 years in broadcasting and it’s at the top of things I’m really proud of. (cont)
Additionally, the Preds are pleased that Darren McFarland remains with the broadcast team, hosting The Preds Official Podcast each week, while also working alongside Hal Gill on the team’s SMASHVILLE LIVE! radio show.
I was fortunate to work with this man
@PeteWeberSports
for 9
#Preds
seasons on the radio and there isn’t anyone better. He’s calling his 2,000th game tonight in
#Smashville
in season 25.
Tears of joy from Mom. Rocco Grimaldi with 4 goals. Joining Eric Nystrom as only 2 in franchise history to do that feat. Postgame next after 7-1
#Preds
win on

@Skillsy75
@ChaseOnGame
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.
Hate to see Craig Smith go but I’m very happy for him. I can always root for him but I refuse to root for his new team. 🤷♂️😂
He’s a really good player and an even better human being! Thanks for all the chats over the years and for always being a pro.

Nobody wants to hear your hollow apologies
@realmikemilbury
. They are just words. If there’s one thing you have down to a science, that’s knowing exactly how to put your foot in your mouth. Work on actions. And be a better broadcaster.
Juuse Saros has faced the
#NHLOilers
twice in his career, both in Edmonton, and he pitched Shutouts in both.
#Preds
win 3-0 and have now beaten Edmonton in 13 consecutive games.
Fans shouldn’t be mad. This is just going to force
#Preds
Barry Trotz to start selling and that’s what they need to do in the next 3 weeks. This is the same exact product we’ve all watched over the last 4+ years. It’s time for an extreme makeover. Call Ty Pennington.
The GM kept this roster intact at the trade deadline and they respond with a 7-2 victory vs Tampa.
#Preds
now 13-3 in their last 16 games. Postgame next on
@1025TheGame
@Skillsy75
@ChaseOnGame
Keep
@PeteWeberSports
in your thoughts and prayers. Pete will have a procedure done on his brain at Vanderbilt Hospital on Monday January 9. This is what he said about it on the
@PredsNHL
Official Podcast. Take a listen.
It’s sooo sad how
#Vandy
mens 🏀 is slid off into the abyss. It’s become an unwatchable product. After this season ends, it will be 7 consecutive years missing the NCAA tournament and 10 out of 12 years of no March Madness. 🤦♂️
He’ll always be my favorite
#Preds
player. I learned what made Shea tick and once you figure that out, he will treat you like gold.
#thebest
And who brought their kid to morning skate?
Is Ben Bishop scared of Rocco Grimaldi's shot? Twice he's stopped play knocking the net off its moorings. Rocco has let the referees know of his displeasure.
You know it’s not going to be a good day when you get an email telling you that former
#Titans
great Frank Wycheck has passed away in his home in Chattanooga at age 52 after apparently falling and hitting his head.
🙏🏻🙏🏻 for his family. ☹️
This is my third time with this Beauty. And the other two times I wouldn’t touch her. That clearly didn’t work. So here’s a new approach. Who’s ready for Game 5
#Preds
& Stars?.! Pregame at 1:00pm, Puck drop 2:00pm on
@1025TheGame
Sitting in a waiting room while my son has surgery and a woman is having a normal conversation on the phone like she’s in her house. Doesn’t give an ‘F’ about anyone else sitting in here. If I took her phone and threw it in the parking lot, I’d probably get a standing ovation.
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.
