It'a a Hoax! First it was Balloon Boy, now it’s the Tennessee Titans. It has been reported by the Associated Press that charges will be filed against the Tennessee Titans for being considered a Super Bowl contender before the season started. Suspicions of a hoax were amplified by the 0-5 start, only to be confirmed by yesterday’s embarrassing 59-0 loss to the New England Patriots.
As time went on, more strange behavior seemed to further indicate to NFL fans that the Tennessee Titans claim to be a Super Bowl contender was in fact a hoax. Kerry Collins began throwing interceptions. Their defense thought the football had cooties. On offense, their runningbacks thought they were playing hot potato. They began losing to teams like the Texans, Jets, and Jaguars.
Beat Reporters for the Tennessee Titans have conducted interviews with players and coaches to try to get to the bottom of the whole affair. As it stands now, the Titans will be charged with the hoax. Possible punishment for the hoax will include getting a top draft pick in 2010 (possibly the #1 overall pick) and lower expectations next year.
“This was a marketing stunt” said ESPN Analyst Keyshawn Johnson. “They wanted the public to believe that they were contenders this season so they could get more airtime on SportsCenter, better odds in Vegas, and get the primetime Sunday night and Monday night games, normally held for the top teams.
“Absolutely no hoax” said Tennessee Titans Head Coach Jeff Fischer. “Now if you can please put some plays that may have worked for you in “Madden” into this little box, I need to think of a game plan for our next game vs. Jacksonville.”
A press conference will be held sometime tomorrow during which officials will release more information.
