In a move that's surprising a lot of people, including me, the Tennessee Titans are moving Michael Griffin to cornerback. I was under the impression he didn't quite have the speed for that at the next level, though Griffin seems to be one of those guys who can do anything he sets his mind to. Big boost for Tennessee if it works.
Still, as ESPN's Todd McShay notes, the Titans blew it by not drafting a playmaker to help out Vince on offense.
Orangebloods notes that incoming freshman QB prospect GJ Kinne contracted mononucleosis and is shut down from football for a while. Almost guaranteed to redshirt this year anyway, it shouldn't be too big a deal.
People do crazy sh-t for their babies. Hey, I love Texas like a lot, but this seems excessive.
Speaking of babies, if I have a girl, she's not going to college. (NSFW)

Excerpt:
Taking DS Michael Griffin at No. 19 overall is a luxury pick that the Titans cannot afford. Instead of giving QB Vince Young a weapon such as WR Dwayne Bowe (Chiefs), they elected to take a similar value (Griffin) at an already log-jammed safety position with Chris Hope, Lamont Thompson, Calvin Lowry, Bryan Scott and Vincent Fuller. Also, while the team did address a need area in Round 2, RB Chris Henry was arguably the biggest reach of the draft at No. 50 overall. Henry had a tremendous showing at the combine but he has never been a full-time back in high school or college, and he rushed for fewer than 900 yards in three seasons at Arizona. Needless to say, entering the season with Henry and LenDale White as your top two running backs is a scary proposition for coach Jeff Fisher and his staff.
Meanwhile, the Titans also failed to draft a wide receiver before the third round and a cornerback before the sixth round. WRs Paul Williams (third round) and Chris Davis (fourth) will fight for time as No. 4 or No. 5 receivers, which means Young is stuck with David Givens, Brandon Jones and Justin Gage as his top three targets on the perimeter. There's a chance that Davis can provide help as a punt return specialist. Also, the sixth-round selection of CB Ryan Smith did little to ease the concerns regarding the one-year suspension of Pacman Jones.

I will actually see the NSFW tag before clicking the associated link.
Looks to be a nice list though.
you'd think so
but you'd be wrong. very wrong. I'd stick with the cave idea......although, people get pretty bored in caves.....better just not have a daughter.

Griffin to CB might be temporary
In light of the Adam Jones suspension/debacle. The Titans are going to put him where they have the most need right now, then maybe move him back to safety if/when Jones returns.
To be honest
I have two daughters - too young for this to be an issue yet - but to be honest it's not the prospect of pervasive nakedness that bothers me as opposed to the randomized humping. However, the missus assures me that the fastest way to get a teenage girl to adopt a "sex-positive" lifestyle is to try and force the opposite approach. So I've given up, 10 years in advance. I'm hoping it will pay off in shotgun / ammo savings.
