I've been following Mike Vrabel since he was a stud defensive end for Ohio State in the mid-1990s. He was drafted by Pittsburgh in the third round in '97 but was royally screwed by Bill Cowher, the closest thing to a wigger the NFL has ever had as a head coach.
When he signed with New England as a free agent in '01, just as the Patriots' dynasty began, Vrabel thrived and had a distinguished career. He reminds me of Mike Ditka, another tough as nails Eastern European alpha man. After this season he'll be firmly in control of the Titans. If Adam Humphries hadn't been injured they would be a little less Caste looking in the playoffs. Hopefully next season they keep Humphries and add one or two White starters to get up to seven or so, which would make them one of the better teams to root for, especially in the AFC.
