Man, Wade Phillips is gonna be Wade Phillips, but my son's team lost yesterday 13-0. Last game of the season. Kinda horrifying to see 8-year old kids crying on the sidelines because they wanted to win so bad. The kid was damn near inconsolable.

In other news, the Titans look real. Consider this your NFL open thread.
