Freak needs to start a volnation store and he could make a **** ton of money selling shirts with the various sayings that are used in this thread.

Heck, if he sold a Daniela and Gruden shirt, he wouldn’t be able to keep that shirt in stock.

Need Daniela endorsement appearances on the sideline, IMO. Wouldn't be much less relevant than having Nick Lachey over there.

And she would probably motivate the players better than a damned trash can.

I heard rumors of a country singer that has a semi full of weights and training apparatus. And that he had run off a trainer or two who could not keep up.........

There is a country singer that is on the down low that claims he likes Tennessee vols......... his divorce from Renee was due to that partially. 😬

Green Bay packers
UT

Came up with “Gruden eats petti Bricklayer soon”

It’s happening

I'll try to be objective and pragmatic. Obviously, some of this will be obscure, but you'll get the meaning.

I don't doubt there could be (emphasize the could) some familiarity there with the person in the picture. The location fits. I remember the convo from last night, but don't remember who the second person is.

Also, the whole "I know a lot of folks" I couldn't tell you who any of those three are. But we'll assume he's connected with some. Again, emphasize "assume." I have pics of myself with some "big names" in the sporting business. Which I would never use for verification. But it would make me seem "connected" by some out of context.

As for the text conversation, it's hard to say with no names being used.

Here's the thing. Being objective, it does somewhat align somewhat with something I was told some time back that I've intentionally kept off the boards since it was vague and a personal conversation. However, here's my whole problem with that kind of news...

If, by chance, that kind of thing had spread as far and wide as was implied, it would be all over the news. Unless that person was considering a move to Knoxville. Which is highly doubtful considering their current position and the fact it's happened before. But if not...that kind of thing would be leaked in order to potentially sabotage negotiations. The only reason why it wouldn't have been is out of loyalty. That river would run deep even with another team's logo on his hat. Loyalty, respect and confidence would go a long way with his former associates in, shall we say, high level positions.

But if one knows, others know as well. And that kind of thing would get around quickly and someone would talk out of class. Loose lips sink ships and all. At the moment, I personally believe most people in those positions are hearing rumors and whispers. It's not hard to figure out Jones is on the hot seat. It's also not a huge stretch of the imagination to think UT would give Gruden a go. As was said to me "Jon Gruden is on everyone's wish list." But hard knowledge? I doubt more than a dozen or two know "everything" at the moment.

I'm skeptical that kind of information would be that widespread without someone in the media talking about it. I'm not saying the person is being untruthful, but it's a bit of a stretch to think it's common knowledge.

Thank goodness we're not being cryptic anymore!

Oh him. The best friend. Timmy.. I have never worked with him. He is really skinny to the point it's almost unhealthy. He is in outstanding shape though.

Yeah I handled a case for them a few years ago.

Faith's brother works for them and he got me some great tickets to one of Tim's shows.

What is crazy is what their "help" gets paid........

They have such big pay rolls in country music it's crazy. It will make you sick sometimes to see the amount of money that is used to surround one person.

I have been a fitness trainer for 11 years. That's how I have been able to establish those kind of friendships. I met tee in 2005 at a private local gym in Nashville and we just hit it off. We had a mutual friend that happens to be tee's best friend. So that's how I know tee. The other guy is a country singer I had been on tour with for quite sometime. to clear it all up.

Again, I wasn't questioning you or the veracity of what was sent. Don't be mad if people are skeptical of somewhat new folks bringing info to the table that haven't been properly vetted. It may very well be he heard something. But, again, see my side of it. If it was common knowledge negotiations were ongoing, nearly every other program would be tripping over themselves to try to wreck that. Collegiate athletics is a cutthroat business. But they won't move on a hunch.
