Stephen Tulloch

Today was the first day that’ll be in my distance memory of meeting a Tennessee Titan. The Tennessee Titans Caravan that they do every year came around last year, but I missed it. This year I made sure that history didn’t repeat itself and I got a ride to where the Titans Caravan stopped. I was one of the first in line, and I had a good time. I saw Stephen Tulloch come out and I was one of the first of about seven people to shake his hand.

We spent some time waiting but it was worth the wait. I stood by some die hard fans like myself and the mascot “T-Rac” even came out and entertained some little kids younger than me. I got T-Rac to sign my Alabama football, hell, who even cares if I’m a Vols fan? At the end of the day that football has been signed by three people: Dan Pierce, Stephen Tulloch, and the guy I just mentioned, T-Rac.

Shit, we stood in that waiting line outside for a long time at Logan’s Roadhouse. I don’t know if it’s Logan’s Steakhouse either, who the hell cares what the name of it is though? Anyway, I saw Mike Keith come out of that fucker. He started talking to this dude in amber shades, that seemed to be well affiliated with the organization itself and knew what he was talking about for what seemed most of the time. What I couldn’t believe is that I said something to Mike Keith! Yes! The guy that’s well known as the Titan’s play by play guy. They were talking about who we should draft and started getting into receivers. Mike Keith said that this could well be the year that we draft one. Then when I finally said something I said, “I think the Titans should go after a corner in the draft,” and he even liked that idea. I didn’t get to shake his hand or get his autograph, but, I should start speaking up more. I met the guy and I guess that counts.

At the end of the day we went inside the building and Stephen Tulloch was sitting there signing autographs. He signed mine and I told him, “You’re one of my favorite linebackers, on Monday Night Football where you had that big hit on 3^rd Down, I almost lost it.” He told me he appreciated it, and said thanks a couple times. They gave out a poster, car banner, and some kind of pizza coupon that I haven’t looked close at yet. That’s pretty much it, it’s pretty cool meeting people that stand for things you like.
