Bud Adams 'Guarantees' Football In 2011

"It's going to be a few months here, but we'll be playing this year," Adams said. "I guarantee we'll be playing."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who was on hand for an event to honor Adams, said he would put his money down for season tickets because the NFL is doing everything to make sure the league plays football in 2011.

Moss Unlikely To Return To Titans

Moon Will Recommend Newton To Titans
Hall of Famer Warren Moon, who is advising Cam Newton as he prepares for the NFL Draft, is ready to recommend the quarterback to the Titans.
Moon plans to talk to Tennessee coach Mike Munchak about Newton.
"I first wanted to give Munch time to get his staff together and get his philosophy set. I know he's been busy," Moon said. "But I think now it's about time I reach out to him and let him in on Cam.
"Now I have no idea what Mike is thinking as far as where he wants to go, but I know they don't have a (quarterback) right now and I know this guy is going to be special," Moon added. "I'm just going to tell him what I know as he tries to make his decision."

Despite all the drama, quarterback Vince Young says that he'd love to remain with the Titans.

"I would love to stay in Nashville. I would love to stay in Tennessee," Young told Chaney Entertainment in an interview.
"If it doesn?t happen, wherever God blesses me to be at I?ll give 100 percent."
