Ok. Today is not at Gruden plane watch or Schiano Sunday levels… but I can tell you, as someone who has covered all of these happenings extensively… that we aren’t that far off.

My mind: “Don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it…” Me: “Soon…”

HEY TENNESSEE TITANS DID YOU KNOW THAT I TOOK MY BUYOUT MONEY AND PURCHASED A PEDAL TAVERN YEE HAW INDEED I KNOW THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN AND GEORGE STRAIT RULES I WOULD LIKE TO BE YOUR COACH

Yankees!

Ryder Cup for team USA

The fan reactions at the draft are hilarious. “The Chargers pick Joe Schmo.” “WOOOOOOOOOO!” You aren’t fooling anybody. I don’t care how into football you are, you don’t know half of these draftees.

Dear Tennessee students. I have a queen sized box spring available for any bonfires you might want to set this weekend. Come to Farragut, pick it up, it’s yours for free.

Ok folks… over the years I’ve been asked more than a few times when “Decade of Dysfunction” will have an audio version. Well, ask and ye shall receive! Tell a friend… No more pesky reading! 😂 www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3G68WJ...

Val Kilmer gave us two of the great supporting characters in movie history in Iceman (Top Gun) and Doc Holliday (Tombstone). Was terrific in so many films, including Real Genius, The Saint (so underrated) and Heat. Rest in Peace…

Feel for those Tennessee kids. Played hard, won a lot of big games. So rough to have it all end with such immediacy.

Me, rooting for Duke tonight…

The biggest game in the history of the Tennessee/Kentucky rivalry was absolutely dominated by @Vol_Hoops. DOMINATED.

That’s not a bad draw for Tennessee. Banged up UK in Sweet 16. That team can absolutely get to the Elite 8 if not further.

4 Nations Hockey is soooo good.

I like looking at my FB feed. Never knew that I was friends with so many experts on global economic policy and also scientific study.

Yesterday was National Signing Day. And it barely registered. We used to be a proper society.

Special teams coach search time!

Calipari leaving Rupp tonight

Vols might be down to 7 scholarship players today? Rick, make the call…

The new OJ documentary on Netflix is pretty good. Not a whole lot of new info, still worth watching.

This is what Tennessee didn’t have during the “Decade of Dysfunction.” There were too many folks in prominent positions back then that viewed the University of Tennessee as simply a stepping stone. Today it’s the opposite with Vitello, Barnes, Heupel, White, Plowman, Boyd, etc…

Every. Where.

I am gutted for Bills fans. That is as close to a college like connection between a team and fans as exists in professional sports.

Holy cow. Buffalo needed that turnover. Bills were getting bludgeoned.

Not an ideal start for Buffalo. #analysis

Philadelphia proving that there’s still a place in pro football for the running game. Of course it helps to have that offensive line and a generational talent at RB.

#Tottenham fans with a message to their board today. 24 years, 16 managers, 1 trophy. Time for change.

“Look. Jet fuel can’t bend steel beams but we sure can snap a 42 year Super Bowl title drought!” - Pete Carroll (might say this) in his first meeting with Raiders players

Going through a box of old stuff and came across this gem. Raise your hand if you remember me and Mike Keith dominating the mid-90s Knoxville area basic cable airwaves.

Tik tok

It begins

The NFL should save us all a lot of time and just give the Chiefs these wins beforehand

#BettyWhiteChallenge Betty’s memory lives on every Jan 17th with every bit of generosity donated to animal charities. Mine is a registered charity of Ontario that is helping decrease the feral cat population humanely by TNR and rehoming. www.royandcher.org/donate.html

No one can tell me they are the same and actually mean it.

True Detective Season 73

Mike Keith is a slam dunk hire. Couldn’t have found a better representative to continue the proud VOTV tradition.

HEY NEW ENGLAND WHATS YOUR DEAL I KNOW THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN BUT CANT BELIEVE YOU ONLY GAVE JEROD MAYO ONE YEAR THAT ROSTER IS A MESS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE YOUR COACH HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES

Me and the boys getting ready to start working on our taxes at midnight

Bailey and I had a good New Year’s Eve walk today. Wishing you and yours the happiest and healthiest in 2025!

lol Jauan Jennings doing Jauan Jennings things

“Swingers 2” would be the most depressing sequel ever. Mikey 4x divorced, Trent hanging out nightly at college bars, Sue obviously dead in a drive by. Plot twist. Rob bumps into Loraine 5 years after she divorces Mikey and they become Hollywood power couple, agents to the stars.

Seriously… we missed out on the greatest buddy comedy of all time.

Finally watching the @30for30 on the 1997 Heisman race. Yes, Peyton was robbed. Doc worth it though just for this part.

Tennessee football since last Saturday at 8:10pm.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

How Rudolph should address Santa and the other reindeer tonight when they ask him for help after weeks of them calling him names and picking on him.

Happy Christmas Eve! #RIPEllis

Happy Festivus!
