Ripple Effect of Dexter McCluster's Signing

No one expected the Titans to make a big splash in free agency this year.  Still, I was anxiously awaiting three o'clock to hit and see what news the NFL had to bring on their equivalent of college football's signing day.  Sure enough, the clock hit three, like it always does, and the Titans surprised us, like they always do.  They signed former Chiefs WR and PR Dexter McCluster.  The reaction to the signing has been mixed, but mostly positive.  It's a high middle class free agency signing, but it seems like a big splash.  He's going to provide diversity to a good group of receivers. Along with the positives of the signing, though, there will be a fallout.

Pump the Breaks, Leon

Along with the signing of McCluster this afternoon, the Titans also signed KR/PR Leon Washington.  He did a solid job for the Titans at the end of the season last year being a reliable return man and even breaking loose a few times.  I wouldn't call the veteran Washington explosive, though.  He was just solid, and McCluster brings another dynamic to the return game.  Teams are afraid to kick to McCluster.  That can be a huge advantage for the Titans.  Washington may have just been given false hope from the Titans.  His job is not secure.

Goodbye, Marc Mariani?

I put a question mark there because I'm not sure I believe this statement just quite yet.  Is the writing on the wall for the beloved Titans WR? Yes. I'm just not sure if he'll be cut.  He's found a way to survive the cuts before, mostly due to injury.  The fans love him though, and he's a hard worker.  I can see the Titans keeping him if they cut Nate Washington, Damian Williams, and Leon Washington due to McCluster's signing. Mariani is a cheap, reliable (if healthy) alternative to the receivers and returns.  Don't count him out just yet.

We Still Love You Nate

Nate Washington, you've been nothing but great for the Titans, and don't forget that.  We here at Boy Meets Sports want you to stay in Tennnessee, I just don't know if it's going to happen.  The signing of McCluster may be the writing on the wall.  I'm not sure if this helps, but I am of the opinion that Washington, McCluster, Hunter, and Wright could make up one of the most dangerous receiving corps in the league. I'm on your side, Nate.  I just don't know if the Titans can make it happen.

Goodbye, For Sure, Chris Johnson

Sorry CJ, you're out.

LeBroning: The Next Internet Craze

Planking, Tebowing, and the Harlem Shake are some of the most well-known internet crazes that have taken social media by storm over the past few years.  They were all short lived but all had a crazy impact on the young culture in the United States.  Vine, Instagram, and YouTube are the biggest outlets for  young people to use in the 21st century.  When a craze like these storms the internet, everyone gets involved.  Is it dumb as hell? Yes.  Does it have a purpose? I'm not really sure. It does, however, seem to bring people from all over the world together.  It makes people feel like they are part of a group in society.  It gives people the sense that they can get famous by shooting a quick video and posting on the internet in a matter of seconds.

It's been awhile since we've had a sports related internet craze that required people to require action on picture or video.  For a while, Tebowing was going on everywhere.  Hell even I wanted to pose with celebs while Tebowing with them.

Monday, a new internet craze surfaced.  It's called "LeBroning".  It consists of people slowly walking into people and hitting the ground hard.  They flop.  I want to participate in this crazy ass project at walmart this week.  We'll see how it goes, but it seems really awesome.  I can't wait to "LeBron" this weekend in Walmart or Kroger.  I can't wait to see that old ladies' face!

Keep up the good work young people.  Keep giving the internet ways to improve and entertain.  Without you, I don't know how we'd get through an entire NFL or college football offseason.  Oh, and yes, I am a young person.  I should be inventing things like this.  Instead, I'm writing about them like I'm a 70 year old journalist.  Oh well.
