The Titan Mortification

My hometown Tennessee Titans are not just a bad football team but an historically awful one. I had family in the Tampa area when the Buccaneers set several marks for futility, but that was at the inception of that franchise as an expansion team, comprised mainly of the castoffs of other teams. The Titans are an old club that was winning titles before the merger in the former American Football League. Now, they have fallen to depths so low that they make bad teams look like world beaters. Yesterday, they made their fellow winless Houston Texans, the arch-rival team from the city they abandoned, look like Super Bowl contenders by getting smashed by a tally of twenty-six to three. After the initial drive of the game where Tennessee made a field goal, the boys in blue were supine the rest of the contest. Yes, sadly, the Titans are the worst non-expansion outfit in the history of professional football.
