Re: Booze Less Titans?

["Jim Meninno" <jim_meninno@hotmail.com>]

I'm speechless.  Can the 'Just Say No' Celtics be far behind?  I know of 
one member of this list ready to buy season tickets.  But, seriously, 
how good an idea is it to tie a team into that kind of promotion?  I 
expressed my feelings a few days ago about athletes as role models (a 
huge mistake, in my opinion).  Imagine the media reaction when one of 
the Titans gets pulled over for drunk driving.  It will happen sooner or 
later.  Do you have to take an alchohol evaluation (a la Mo Vaughn) to 
join the team?  And, how embarassing will it be when the Titans lose to 
the Sidney 'Fosters' Giants or something like that?
