Vince Young a great example to follow

Great gesture from Titans QB and man-about-town Vince Young in picking up the young sons of the late Steve McNair for a "Dear Dads Breakfast."

Who knows, the two boys may grow up some day to own their own strip club.

European countries have reason to love Obama

Yahoo headline:

Survey: Obama retains wide approval in Europe

Duh. Of course he does.

Why would he not. Many of the countries in Europe have high concentrations of muslims that they have no control over. Plus, countries in Europe are surrounded by other of these countries. The majority non-muslims are afraid to speak out in fear of retaliation.

As long as they have a muslim ally in America who is also president, they are happy. They don't want anyone to provoke muslims, and they're safe on that point with Obama.

Who needs a survey to tell us that?

Dwight Lewis is a useless columnist

In a recent column, Dwight Lewis wrote about how people mourn death. He should know a lot about that. His people, black people such as himself, are dying by the droves on Nashville streets and dark alleys. Black on black murder is rampant.

Lewis, the philosopher, however, sits in his Fat Cat chair at the Tennessean, wherein he has a job that he could mail in -- a convenience of being black himself in a liberal-run newspaper that can feel good about itself for having him on its payroll as show -- and contemplates his biggest decision of the day -- in which establishment will he be served his steak on this day.

What should he do? I have no idea. That's not my job to decide. It's my job to criticize the obvious. If he is going to pass himself off as a writer-philosopher, he needs to can the flowery prose, sick liberal agendas and entitlement program cheerleading, and, more importantly, to stop ignoring the elephant in the room, and join the real world, the one in which it is a fight every day for a majority of his fellow blacks.

In short, he needs to be somebody, somebody for those who should matter the most to himself.

Some things to expect for the upcoming Titans season

-- Peyton Manning will throw more touchdown passes in one game than Vince Young will in a month.
-- Coach Jeff Fisher will say that the one thing he knows for sure opening the season is that his team is ready. They will then commit numerous turnovers and generally look like an imitation of a Chinese fire drill (for you PCers, drop dead).
-- Chris Johnson will run for as many yards vertically as he does horizontally.
-- Chris Simms will find a friend to testify that he really does smoke cigarettes.
-- The Titans will again have no pass rush. None.

VANDY HIERACHY FINALLY SHOWS SOME GRIT

by Bryce Martin

So, Bobby Johnson is gone at Vanderbilt as head football coach.

That means you have leaving the university a coach of whom many felt was a "good fit for Vanderbilt." Being a Vanderbilt fan, I hated hearing that. It just meant it was okay to lose, expected even, if you had someone like Johnson, a nice guy who could put a happy face on it.

Johnson has been given way too much credit for "improving" the number of quality athletes entering the program under his helm. The real credit should go to him in doing so because acceptance standards at VU were lessened during his tenure.

Going to a bowl? Okay, but you can't compare that happening to years past. One and then two regular season games have been added compared to years past. Plus, there are now about 40 bowl games compared to a handful in years past. Plus, Vanderbilt was a mere 6-6 entering the bowl game, one they did win.

What you had in Johnson was a coach who was going to give you a losing season, but make you feel good just the same. A coach who took you to what was once a coveted bowl game appearance, with a .500 record, and with players previous coaches would not have been able to put on the field, and a bowl game amid a sea of bowl games.

Speculation as to why he "resigned" at this exact time, if one had to pick to save his life, would be, in a word: loyalty. Johnson was asked by his superiors to make some coaching changes and he refused. It was an ultimatum. He resigned, giving his staff a hope of hanging on in the interim.

Bye, Bobby, go be mister nice fit somewhere else.

He's Okay, You're Not So Hot

The liberal media thinks it has something with the recent comments from Rand Paul made to a liberal talk show host. And it does. If you're a liberal.

Nothing Rand Paul said was controversial. The majority of Americans do not believe our federal government should tell businesses who they can and cannot hire. And if a majority of Americans did not feel that way, they should.

George Plaster, Sports Dork

Major league baseball expert Jayson Stark calls into 104.5 The Zone on Mondays to answer questions from host George Plaster.

This fact is mentioned on the radio station's website.

Stark has been around for years and his name can be seen regularly in columns he writes for newspapers and magazines.

On Monday, May 10, Plaster introduced him as "Jayson Starks."

That would be excusable if you were a welder or a car salesman.

Plaster, however, a Vanderbilt grad, is as clumsy with words as he is with sports. He often bemoans his golf game, as if that is some sort of a revelation. Once you see Plaster in a photo or on television, you put that image with his words and you know you have a klutz.

"Starks." Pathetic.
