As the World Turns...

I listed the humiliating offseason collapse of the Titans as #2 on the year's all-time bad psychology rankings. I'd hate to say this, but it keeps getting worse. Over the background of Chris Johnson's workout-skipping and seemingly endless bleating about his contract and this banter about whether or not Commissioner Goodell with discipline Vince Young, we now find out that Titans rookie DE Derrick Morgan was arrested on Wednesday for speeding. Badly. (The Tennessean). Did I also mention that requests to re-open the case of slain former Titans QB Steve McNair have all been denied? (ESPN and other sources) Jumpin Jehosephat, I honestly can't think of what else can go wrong for the Titans at this point. Political campaign contributions? Methamphetamine? Smuggling weapons to Al Qaeda? A gay sex scandal involving players from a division rival team? An official decree from the governor of Tennessee to drown the entire organization in the Cumberland River?

In other news, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has released/leaked 572 pages of records detailing the investigations surrounding Ben Roethlisberger's sexual assault allegation from earlier this year. A small chunk of it can be found over at The Smoking Gun (fine purveyors of pop culture bilge since 1997). Warning: It's got some bad words and likely not safe for work/little ones because (if events actually transpired this way) it's beyond creepy. I skimmed through a few pages of it out of morbid curiosity, and only thing that really caught my eye (if anything can be amusing in a rape case) were the approximately eighteen different spellings of Roethlisberger's name in the police statements.

Until the blog goes down, I'm actually thinking of making the Second and One Police Blotter a regular feature. I just need to come up with a good name for it. Sheet O' Slander? Journal O' Justice? Dossier O' Dumbassery? 

And we'll end with a bit of Bears fanservice: the Tribune yesterday did a nice photomontage of WR Johnny Knox's rookie season, and the following picture, where Knox shows Seattle kicker Olindo Mare his Heisman pose, got a good laugh out of me:

PWNED. (source: Tribbie).
