Alright everyone, the Train Daddy is back once again with some serious shiz-nit up in yo’ face, sports in a sexy, yet somewhat elegant manner. My sports column isn’t trashy like some one-night stand; she is sexy, and the kind of girl you take home to meet mama.

I am very happy, happy, happy right now as I type this masterpiece up. The Titans took a victory over Jeff Fisher’s Rams, and have brought their record to an even .500. There’s only one direction from here: up! So what all do I have for you in this month’s issue? We’ll break down the Titans, and some future opponents as I predict the future; The Z-Man is good at this. For anyone who was looking forward to a World Series wrap-up, too bad, buddy. We will only be talking about America’s pastime here, football.

OK, I will mention one thing about baseball: the Red Sox won the World Series.

So I haven’t had a column out since the death of Bud Adams, former owner of the Titans. The man was old, the man was passionate, so was his bird-flicking finger, and the man wanted nothing more in life than a Super Bowl victory. Bud almost got one back in ’99, but the old days of McNair, George, Mason and Wycheck, well, they’re long behind us. Bud Adams was a owner who genuinely cared about football, the man was 100 percent willing prior to this season to make Peyton Manning the richest player in history, only for the benefit of the Titans and fans. Oh yeah, and also his mad desire to win a ring.

We will miss you Bud, and I hope your successor can finally get you that Super Bowl championship you dreamed off all those years. R.I.P. Bud “Finger Flicking” Adams! People die; that’s life. Some people fear it, some embrace it, some do it themselves before their time is up, or maybe they were destined to make that decision. All I know is life is short and there is one truth: we all die. So enjoy this life. Enjoy life with the 5 F’s—Faith, Family, Football, Food and Friends, the 5 F’s is everything in my life; I follow them, I love them and I respect them. This life is short and there is evil all around, but focus on the 5 F’s in that order, and life will reward you.

So let’s talk some real Titans football. The squad currently stands at 4-4, and is looking to the future. Locker is back after an ugly injury, Johnson is rushing hard and the receivers are young and fast. The defense has some issues, but they’re passionate, young and primed to win some ball games. Locker looked solid enough in the win vs. the Rams, hopefully healing that hip injury rather than aggravating it. He took a few hard hits, but he always got up. The offense runs through Jake “the Snake” Locker, and I have the Titans winning 3 of the next 5, putting them at 7-6. Let’s break down these next 5 games; next Sunday the Titans have a home game vs. the winless Jaguars. No game is a gimmie, but come on man, gimmie that. Then they have a home game vs. the Colts in week 11 and then again in Indy week 13. The Colts have a high-powered offense, but I have a split series predicted with each team winning on their home ground. The Titans head to the West Coast to play an awful Oakland team week 12. It’s tough to travel that far, but a victory indeed. Week 14 wraps up the next 5 games, where they face the Broncos in Denver, and I predict Peyton Manning will indeed add to his historic year and crush the Titans. If that all plays out, the Titans will stand at 7-6, and I believe if they can get there, the last 3 games will be victories with a home game vs. the struggling Cardinals, an away game vs. the winless Jags, and a season ender in Nashville vs. the very inconsistent Texans. That would put the Titans at a very respectable record of 10-6, I believe the Colts will win the Division, but with a record of 10-6, that should indeed be enough for a playoff berth. Wild card, baby!

So that’s it, call me crazy, maybe you think I am full of it. I know one thing though the Titans started the season with brutal matchups like the Chiefs, the Seahawks, the 49ers, and a few tough losses. These last 8 games to finish the Season look very winnable and to explain the importance, 5 of the next 8 are Division matchups. With a healthy Jake Locker, a fast Chris Johnson and now healthy Shonn Greene—classic smash and dash—and a number of young receivers eager to get the ball (besides that punk Britt), the Titans have the offense to win; hopefully the defense will progress, being my only worry of the Titans. So that’s the Titan wrap up. You heard it from the Train Daddy, the Titans will finish 10-6, as the Schedule eases up, and games become very important with all these division matchups, Go Titans!

So I’m sticking with the Titans this article. I could talk about some off the other teams, but I bleed code blue, and fresh off a victory vs. the old ball coach, I feel good. Jeff Fisher is a legend in my heart and the hearts of passionate Titans Fans. Sure, he never brought a Super Bowl victory to Nashville, as we all still wait for that; I will wait ’til I am an old man if I have to, it’s my team! Yeah maybe Tennessee doesn’t have the history of a team like the Packers or the Cowboys, we are young. It doesn’t matter how young we are, I can tell you one thing Titans fans have more passion and self respect than any Steelers, Ravens or Browns fan, I have ever known, they’re all mean, dirty fan bases, with nothing on Code Blue Baby, Baby! Someone like the Me-Ma a true fan of the game and her family. With her oxygen tube dangling on her face, she woke up Football Sunday, cooked up a spaghetti feast, with salad and garlic bread, some sweet tea, and treated us all to a meal as we watched the Titans on Sunday, true fans all around! And after that game—a victory, I might add—she smiled with satisfaction that the day was wonderful. I love football, she loves football, and Tennessee loves football.

I don’t know how your Fantasy Football team is doing, but I’m third in points, and just hanging in the playoff race. Fantasy Football can be unfair at times, but it’s always fun. So that’s it, just like Albert “Headstompin'” Haynesworth, Stomp a fool on the head, if he comes at ya’. Haha. Choo-choo, Train Daddy out the station!
