THE TENNESSEE #TITANS SCHEDULE RELEASE VIDEO IS GOLD.
THEY WALKED AROUND NASHVILLE FINDING PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE THEIR OPPONENTS PLAYERS AND COACHES TO ANNOUNCE THEIR SCHEDULE.
THIS IS EXTREMELY FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣
@TicTacTitans He’s 21 years old from a no red light town. He’s nervous as hell. He’s a very smart guy. He’s from Alabama where we don’t have the NFL so you don’t pay attention to it. Great kid and role model and a true athlete and leader titans fans will be happy whe you see him play.
Keep in mind, this is an example of a lot of the scouting reports written about players that will be drafted tonight and over the next couple days. To all of you guys about to be picked or go undrafted, know that they are written by people who are incapable of fully understanding your potential, and that few things will bring you a greater smile than reading these reports at the end of a career that far exceeds the limitations within them.
Good luck Boys, welcome to the League
Airline pilot here:
I’ve made a few posts, for posterity it seems I should combine them so here goes:
I guess I should lead with the fact that I know LGA really, really well -
And having 1 controller working both ground and tower; late… on a Sunday is straight up normal. Anything you’re hearing about a controller shortage is BS. Should there be 1 guy working? No -
But it’s been that way as long as I can remember.
Second, if you listen to the audio. You can hear the controller try to stop the truck. Which means a few things. The truck took too long to cross after the initial clearance was issued. In LGA shit happens quickly. If you can’t execute you’re immediately stopped. So looking at the truck. He took too long to cross.. which means that he was either in the wrong position when he first called, or he was going too slow. BOTH are wrong. That’s problematic. So if you listen to the guy IN the truck.. he’s nervous. Classic low confidence read back. What that says to me?
He was in training.
Let’s investigate that a little further? If the fire department was going to train someone… you’d do it when it’s “quiet” right? Well, LGA is never more quiet than late, on a Sunday -
You starting to see it yet?
Now, the controller. Was task heavy already (being by himself) working two frequencies in low weather. But again, nothing new there. Especially that guy. I recognize his voice. He’s a rockstar. He can handle it if anyone can.
Now… BEFORE the incident with the truck. It’s important to understand the truck was rolling in response to an emergency.
There was already a United flight that had supposedly aborted a takeoff due to a fume event on the other side of the field.
Usually not something they roll CFR for, BUT if you listen to the earlier audio it’s pretty apparent the United flight crew was basically losing control of the cabin. The flight attendants were running that show.
The United pilots, then respond by (incorrectly) pressing the Controller for a gate -
That’s important to recognize the United crew was pressing the GROUND controller. Because it’s important to recognize that ground IS NOT in charge of gate assignments… so the United crew was pressing the wrong controller, which then put him (the controller) into a spot of trying to coordinate FOR THEM because apparently they don’t know how to do their jobs.
The controller. Went from task heavy to what we call “task saturated.”
Add that little fiasco into the truck moving slower than it should’ve been… poor radio discipline on the truck…
We’re starting to create a scenario, yeah?
Now finally the flight crew.
Could they have gone around?
Should they have gone around?
Now we’re getting into Monday night quarterbacking.
Yes to both… in hindsight.
The reality is. The weather was low. So maybe they couldn’t visually verify that the truck had crossed.
I will say, defacto; a go-around is always an option. Until It’s not. And it’s not once the reversers are out. So to be at 100kts ground speed… the reversers were out.
To see what they saw, you’d have to be in the plane with them or re-create it in a sim.
I will also say.. the truck. DEFINTELY SAW THE LIGHTS COMING DOWN THE RUNWAY.
So, as usual. Multiple things played into it.
…it’s never just one thing, right?
But…
There’s gonna be a lot of focus on the truck -
There’s a reason you don’t see WR University, RB University, CB University, etc… 👀
Because players at the very top of the league usually aren’t in the business of helping their competition get better.
That’s what makes Travis Kelce and George Kittle so unique. 🏈 (Shoutout to Greg Olsen too, but he’s retired)
These guys are some of the best in the world at what they do… and instead of guarding their secrets, they created Tight End University to bring the entire position group together and help younger players grow.
Think about that for a second.
Most elite athletes spend their careers trying to maintain the edge over the guy across from them. But these guys are willing to teach, mentor, and elevate the entire position — even if it means making their own competition better.
That kind of selflessness usually only shows up in movies.
With Tight End U, we get to watch it happen in real life. 🐐
WOW. What an ending to the Class 1A state championship game.
Jackson Mitchell hits a 3-point basket with just 8 seconds remaining and Brantley takes down Hubbertville with a 45-44 win for the title.
What a win for the Bulldogs.
Alcohol abuse. Toradol. Damar PTSD. Cluster headaches. Ayahuasca. Star Seeds. And, of course, aliens. This 2025 season is Jordan Poyer's last stand and he's got a lot to say.

The Sanders at Thanksgiving 🤣🔥
Shilo: "Please allow Shedeur to do his best so he can get me on the Browns. And please make No. 21 available somehow."
Shedeur: “That’s Denzel Ward. He’s the franchise player. 21 gone, bro.”
Shilo: “Never mind. 28 will do”

#Patriots WR Mack Hollins arrived to tonight's game wearing a suicide-prevention shirt with “988” — the national hotline — on the front, and powerful words on the back reminding everyone: YOU ARE WORTH IT.
Tremendous. Well done, @mackhollins. 🙏
This official is Nate Jones.
Jones was a DB at Rutgers, was a 7th round pick of the Cowboys in 2004, and had a 7 year NFL career.
He's been an official since 2019.
Kudos to him for this and kudos to the ESPN crew who named him on the MNF broadcast.
