Random News Shit: Unexpected Sports Edition

Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher answers questions at a news conference on Monday, Nov. 22, 2010, in Nashville, Tenn. Titans quarterback Vince Young left the stadium after exchanging words with Fisher after a 19-16 overtime loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday in which Young tore a flexor tendon in his right thumb on his throwing hand. Fisher said Young will be placed on injured reserve and needs surgery on his hand.
1) Titans & Jeff Fisher Part Ways
Talk about shocking news, I thought Fisher was staying for sure after the Titans said they were going to trade or release Vince Young, but obviously that's no longer the case.

My guess is that after all that time with one organization, Fisher will take a couple years off before jumping back into the coaching game. Even though he never won a Super Bowl, I'm sure plenty of teams would love to have him.

Speaking of Jeff Fisher, you know who must be pissed right now? Chuck Cecil. Fisher fired Cecil as defensive coordinator a week ago. I know Chuck is somewhere talking so reckless about Fisher right damn now.

2) O.J. Mayo Suspended For 10 Games
Normally this would be a bad thing, but seeing how it may help him escape Memphis, this could actually work to his advantage. Fingers crossed he doesn't land in Chicago, or New York.

Speaking of Chicago...

3) Derrick Rose Has Stomach Ulcers
So eating candy everyday is not good for you? Who knew?

4) Dallas Experiences Stripper Shortage For Super Bowl
Well when Ben Roethlisberger is coming to town, you better stock up on your naked white women. Hopefully the champagne room doesn't have lockable doors.

Seriously though, they need 10,000 strippers?? I know everything is bigger in Texas, but how big are these strip clubs?? (Rimshot!)

5) Miles Austin & Champ Bailey Are Going To Hawaii
DeSean Jackson and Nnamdi Asomugha aren't going to be able to play in this weekend's Pro Bowl, so they had to be replaced. In all honesty, Miles probably should've been there instead of DeSean regardless. DeSean only caught 47 passes (47!!!!) on the season, and while he was catching passing from Michael Vick, Miles caught most of his from Jon Kitna and Stephen McGee. Oh well, Miles made it and that's all that matters.
