I just tried to do this in my head--literally seconds after reading this whole article--and I can still only name two.

A few years ago my wife had a conference in Nashville and I tagged along. The hotel we were at also housed the Titans during mini camps and there were several players there. I realized I could not name any current Titan player. I probably could have named one player off of any other team but could not think of one

We’ll allow it in this case. If it weren’t for fantasy football and Chris Johnson, no one would remember that the Titans exist. Aside from when Albert Hainesworth trampled that guy’s face.

Shit, I live in Nashville, watch Titans games, have a wife who’s a diehard Titans fan, and have four jerseys in the closet (they’re hers), and I could not name 5 current Titans.

Hmmm... no cheating: I’ve got Mariota, Henry, uh... Decke...no...

The only thing I remember about the Titans is that one game back in 2004 when Drew Bennett went off for like 200 yards and 3 TDs therefore knocking out my undefeated fantasy football team (And yep, nobody gives a shit about my fantasy football team, noted).

They almost won that game. We almost had Super Bowl Champion, Jeff Fisher.

The Titans would be 100% more enjoyable if everyone just referred to them as “The Tits”

Yeah, I don’t get the protest that it wasn’t set up enough. I mean, Christ - they all but telegraphed it. I read the book years ago and was deeply  concerned they’d gone overboard in sending out the little “SHE BE CRAZY” batsignals over Amma’s head. All that was omitted from the book, really, was the denouement with

So I watch this with my wife. By watch I mean I play on my phone and look up occasionally. (The cutting theme bothers me deeply)
About 10 minutes before the end she goes “The fucking girl did it!” I said “Nah, too obvious” (pretending like I was paying attention)
Turns out she was right! (please don’t tell her I

I never read the books and in the second episode I was like it’s Amma.

It may have telegraphed too much, but I wished they had gotten into Adora’s relationship with the girls and how she was putting so much energy into trying to ‘save’ them thus stoking Amma’s jealousy and rage.

That’s what I said today too: I want to rewatch it for all the clues, and to really enjoy it because at times I was too impatient for the story to unfold in its slow pace.  

I mean I don’t recall it being much more obvious in the book. They clue you into the fact that something is BADLY wrong with Amma how many times. It’s the viewer/reader’s natural instinct to just think of it as a byproduct of the abuse she deals with, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only possible explanation.

I like the highlight where the score is Arizona State 65 - Texas Tech 48

Over the summer, there was a Sirius XM channel that was dedicated to U2, as they did their summer tour in the States. There were interview clips with the band members they would play between songs. One interesting one was Adam Clayton talking about the song from 1997's POP, “Last Night on Earth”. The video for that

Where’s William Safire when you need him?

My God, OU has a 250+ yard rusher in that game who got more than 30 carries ... and it was still a “passing duel.”

Kansi City?
