Copping the nicknames is amateur....cringed when Smitty (I think it was) said it last night. Completely weak sauce.

It is arguable who came up w/ it first. It has just been that the Titans have been on the National spotlight this year because of the 10-0 start. So people naturally heard it about it more.

So we definitely didn't copy them. And it's a much better nickname than "The Hardy Boys" which I heard them first call themselves. Or even "Earth, Wind, and Fire", kind of lame.

As for the, the "Cardiac Cats", I know the old St Louis Cardinals were known at one point as the "Cardiac Cards". And even they could of easily not "came up with it"

It's all debatable.

But you know what is weak sauce? Using the term "weak sauce"

Something makes me think that was probably used at the collegiate level previously too...

EDIT: Quick google news search reveals plenty of teams pre-2003 referred to as the cardiac cats. :(

Didn't matter though - the fact that it got used for us that year and then the jags the next year was enough to get people terribly riled up.

Same with Smash and Dash - someone else is going to use it in a few years and we're going to have people all upset that it got stolen from us.

It's like that for every team - Seahawks and the 12th man come to mind.

No it's not....it's not arguable in the least. FACT is, the Titans RBs used it previously. How the hell is that arguable?

Which is kind of dopey...getting riled up about a nickname you didn't come up with in the first place is just...well...weird.

Come up with something original and then complain when someone cops it...then it'll be valid and you can get a twisted ass over it.

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.

      What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
