    You dont understand why a CEO of a corporation has a better salary/benefits/guarantees than an employee. I don't bother using apostrophes sometimes. Tell me who is stupid.

    No, I understand why. Coaches aren't CEOs, though, and neither are GMs like Webster, or middle-management types. Players with leverage can negotiate their own guarantees if they're fired, which is why the offsets can be negotiated. Mariota has that leverage, and the Titans gave it to him my pimping him out to sell tickets, merchandise, and buzz. It seems small and petty at this point to not give the franchise QB the full contract guarantees, including no offset language.

    This potential holdout would be fun to witness, though. You'd better hope your boy Mettenberger is all-world if it happens, because if he's not, the boos will be falling on him if the Titans get off to another slow start, and the season is over by Week 5 yet again. Imagine the pissed off fans at that point as the guy who was marketed heavily to buy tickets is sitting on a beach in Hawaii. Hell, maybe Phil Knight would step up and make Amy Adams an offer she can't refuse to move the team to Portland.

    The 0-6 Mett Show. Get your tickets now! He's the next Tom Brady, except he's never won an NFL game! Feel the excitement, Titan fans, for buying season tickets to watch the Booger Eater lose games while the guy you bought tickets to watch is sitting on a beach!

    That would be fun. I hope it happens, actually.
