The Titans and Rams tussled in a joint practice today, with multiple skirmishes. It's not surprising that Cortland Finnegan was involved in one of them; Finnegan's regarded by players as one of the most fervent and obnoxious trash talkers around.

A GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT FOR FOOTBALL FANS
"Football's first superstar played with a ballerina's grace and a bull's power, but as Poole shows in The Galloping Ghost, there was more. 21st-century fans will benefit from his reburnishing of the legend."
Sports Illustrated
"The book is a terrific read."

Wait, this has nothing to do with Brett Favre. So why is this worthy of an Extra Point?
titans still feeling afekts of loss Chargers put on them durig playoffs. Chargers will dominat AFCwest again, SB is ours.
#2 - Accept no imitators. Insist on real raiderjoe(c)(r).
#3: I agree 100%.
2 - "Sir, I represent the estate of Charles Chaplin. I
have a court order demanding an immediate halt to this
unauthorized imitation." Ok, ok, so Riaderjoe isn't Charlie Chaplin... But you get the point... In Simpsons quote form.
3, 4 and myself - Do you ever have a moment where you realize that your life has somehow become weirder than you remember it being before? Like... I don't know... To pull an example out of thin air, you find yourself defending a stranger on the internet from someone trying to copy his posting style?
Raiderjoe is the "It's Pat" of F.O. And I'm not talking about the SNL bit, I'm talking about the *movie*.
Is Donnie Nickey still with the Titans? It just wouldn't be training camp if he didn't get into some sort of altercation with one of the Titans' top picks.
I propose a morratorium on fake Raider Joe's and any and all Joe-related spinoffs. You mockers wont be laughing when Cedric Benson is setting up the Raiders champagne after the AFC championship game will you?
#8: Yes, Donnie Nickey is still there. He's competing for a back-up safety spot I believe.
Also involved in altercations: Kyle Vanden Bosch, Michael Griffin, and Dave Ball.
Go Titans.
#7 -- I have no idea what that means, but I laughed ... if only someone can compare one of his posts to the pommel horse scene in Gymkata ...
#6. Good point. The truth though, is that while he's pretty easy to lampoon, Raiderjoe has a consistency and honest authenticity that most (essentially anonymous) internet posts lack (including my own). He loves his team, he doesn't take himself too seriously, or take comments personally or make ad hominem attacks. He's either a brilliant parody or a true fan. Admirable in either case.
Obviously, we don't care about 2 teams fighting in practice. Good.
10: I'd wondered what happened to Dave Ball after he got cut by San Diego.
Also, is anyone remotely surprised that it's a group of a-holes like the Titans getting in fights with another team during practices.
