Tennessee Titans

Football Is Family is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.

How does one tell a story about their football fandom? I guess it depends on the person, place, and situation.

Today I'm going to share why I follow the Tennessee Titans the way I do. Is it a sickness? Maybe. Do I tell my children everyday to "Titan up"? Maybe. But it doesn't look like it is stopping any time soon.

Growing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn’t have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super
Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn’t win, I followed them from that point on.

John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.

Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my home town of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I’m a Titans fan through and through.
It’s the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That’s what I want to talk about each and every podcast.
