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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
