Jim Crane has never had to deal with regular season underachievement. Certainly not to this degree. So we don't really know how he might respond...
You left off being able to trade a franchise-level QB for a significant return in draft capital. I'd also throw in an extreme amount of luck -...
The Astros' Pythagorean W-L is 14-17. So, yeah - they've definitely had some bad luck. If, over the next ~30 games, that luck swings back their...
I'm not sure trading him *right now* is the best choice - 1) if the team has any chance of salvaging the season, he'll play a key role; 2) his...
It's not really a direct win/loss idea. And it's certainly not looking back and regretting trades. It's all part of a much larger puzzle. Right or...
Foster always reminded me of Marcus Allen, who also wasn't blazing fast - but was so fluid with such incredible vision. His peak was much too...
But none of these moves would impact W/L. Well, they might impact losses, in that there would be even more of them since you've effectively wiped...
With respect, if your argument is that who owns the name, brand, colors of a franchise isn't relevant - and maybe I've misunderstood your position...
To answer the former: because there isn't a knife in existence capable of splitting the hair necessary to draw a distinction between "shades" of...
I mean this sincerely: your response is a (perfectly rational & understandable) emotional reaction. But the facts of the matter are the Titans own...
This simply isn't true. The NFL owns the Oilers name, brand, colors, logo... Think of it from this perspective: if an NFL team left the league to...
Correct. The Titans have a very reasonable claim that they "own" Oiler blue. I think they have every right to protect their brand - and that...
The Titans trotting out anything Oiler is 100% petty af. But I don't view objecting to the new Houston team trying to steal some of that Oiler...
I would wager there are often uniform approval issues & objections, as teams are *very* protective of their brand. But I think the vast majority...
The report states Nike designed a uniform that more prominently featured Oiler blue. I'm assuming here - but that would almost certainly be in...
Exactly. This is the point I think people are too-quickly speeding by: that history, from an NFL perspective, belongs in Tennessee. You can be as...
I agree with every word of this. But I keep going back to the fact the NFL, per reports, *agreed* with Tennessee, and limited how much Oiler blue...
They very clearly didn't stop them. That's not the argument being made. This is objectively wrong. They own 36 years of history that occurred in...
Oh, to be very clear... breaking out the Oilers uniforms last year was very clearly petty. Yeah, **** them for doing that. It was gross. I am in...
I hate Bud Adams as much as anyone. **** that guy. But I'll briefly defend him here: the Oilers meant a lot to him. They were named for his family...
