    I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard, with his ties to Elway and all.

    I still want to know where the "Titans to LA" BS is coming from?

    Just dumb.

    I'm sure he could. But his net worth is only about $115M. Not a lot considering the Titans are worth $2B.

    I'm sure he could find other investors though.

    Personally, I think it is fairly likely.

    He seems like a smart guy, and he likely knows he would make a more successful owner than coach.

    Besides, considering his legacy in TN, he would only increase the value of the franchise. Pretty safe investment if you are a financier.

    You instantly gain east Tennessee.

    They'd still ride Manning's nuts if he ate babies.

    Right. The fanbase likely grows by thousands if this were to happen.

    I do think it's incredibly dumb on La Canfora to write this article. Manning is still playing and no one knows when he wI'll hang up his cleats.

    I mean, I don't see it happening, UT is just prying for some type of return to TN for Manning.

    If the Haslam family and their limitless money get in on the Titans I'd expect to see Manning.

    UT family brings back a UT guy.

    They run Knoxville and now the state.

    They won't let the Titans leave Nashville and I doubt they'd watch the team be sold to someone or a group that would want to move them.

    I remember back in 08 or 09, talking with a co-worker who was a huge UT fan, he said that he wanted Manning to hang em up in a few years and take over as the head coach at UT.

    I was like "keep dreaming man"

    What I don't get is the whole team (not necessarily the Titans) moving to London thing. Could you imagine the players being told to uproot and move across the Atlantic Ocean?

    A startup franchise in London I could see (although I would not like)....an existing franchise moving there I could not.
