Q&A with Tennessee Titans play-by-play announcer Mike Keith

Submitted by Mark Nagi on October 21, 2009 - 11:59pm

On occasion I get the opportunity to do a Q&A with a mover and shaker in the world of sports. This week I caught up with Tennessee Titans play-by-play announcer Mike Keith, to get his thoughts on the Titans, and the NFL in general.

1.) Mark Nagi: The Tennessee Titans are now 0-6, after starting the 2008 season 10-0. this the ultimate example of how fragile success can be in the NFL?

Mike Keith: Yes. Everyone is so even that if you slip, you fall… period.

Who should be in the first NASCAR Hall of Fame class?

Submitted by Mark Nagi on October 13, 2009 - 8:30pm

The NASCAR Hall of Fame will finally open its doors in Charlotte next year.

In May, the first Hall of Fame class will be inducted.  While there are many worthy entrants, only five people will gain entry.

Who do you think should get in right off the bat?

Here are my 5...

1.) Richard Petty - 200 wins and seven Cup Series titles

2.) Dale Earnhardt - Also a seven time Cup Series champion

3.) Bill France Sr.

Rush Limbaugh - NFL team owner?

Submitted by Mark Nagi on October 12, 2009 - 7:47pm

Do you want this man owning your NFL team?

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh is showing interest in obtaining a significant stake in the NFL's St. Louis Rams.

The reaction has been loud, on both sides of the aisle.

The Reverend Al Sharpton sent a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, arguing that Limbaugh has been divisive and “anti-NFL” in some of his comments.

Vols vs. Georgia... A Fearless Prediction

Submitted by Mark Nagi on October 8, 2009 - 10:26am

On Saturday Tennessee and Georgia will play at Neyland Stadium, and rarely has this game been so far off the national radar. Neither team is ranked in the top 25.  Neither team has a realistic shot to win the SEC East.   

Both teams share something in common... disgruntled fan bases.

Let's Go Yankees!

Submitted by Mark Nagi on October 7, 2009 - 10:45am

26 World Series Championships.

The most successful professional sports franchise in North America.

A payroll that's somewhere around the Gross National Product of Sweden.               

The arrogance of a team with its own television network.

Today they are baseball's most beloved, and most hated franchise.  The Howard Cossell of pro sports. 

There are many reason

Vols vs. Auburn... A Fearless Prediction

Submitted by Mark Nagi on October 1, 2009 - 10:02pm

Last year I had the misfortune of witnessing perhaps the worst quarter of offensive football in the history of the Southeastern Conference.

Tennessee and Auburn set football back about 75 years with their performance.  That 4th quarter can be summed up in the following few words...

"Three and out..."

The Vols would punt, then the Tigers would punt, then the Vols would punt and, well... you get the idea.

Jonathan Crompton... give him a break

Submitted by Mark Nagi on September 30, 2009 - 10:18am

Right now there is no one in Knoxville receiving more grief than Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton. 

Through four games, he has eight interceptions.  The Vols passing attack has been so limited in effectiveness that some fans are calling for UT to bring back the wishbone.

We all know this isn't what Tennessee had in mind.  You know what?  Tennessee isn't what Crompton had in mind either.

Halftime: Vols 24 Ohio 17

Submitted by Mark Nagi on September 26, 2009 - 8:44pm

Halftime at Neyland Stadium.  Vols leads Ohio 24-17.

Crompton made a great pass to Denarius Moore, down to the Ohio 20.  That put them in field goal range for Daniel Lincoln, who makes a 38 yard field goal.

Ohio will get the ball first in the second half.

Tennessee leads 21-17 late in half

Submitted by Mark Nagi on September 26, 2009 - 8:38pm

The Bobcats kick a field goal... now trail 21-7 with 40 seconds to go in the first half.

Tennessee has their timeouts left... Will they try to get some points before intermission?

Do Tennessee fans trust Crompton to lead them down the field?
