NEW: For #Preds, a new season feels like a last stand against odds, time. tennessean.com/story/sports/c…

What can Predators fans expect from Brady Martin? A stone-pickin' farm boy with a mean streak who will "drag you to war" on day one. "Three shifts. I give it three shifts before Nashville loves Brady Martin" tennessean.com/story/sports/n…

Tough break for the former Lipscomb standout.

Hello from a new season #Preds

Always love this rookie tradition.

NEW: A glimpse of the old Juuse Saros was an encouraging sight for the #Preds in a season-opening win that felt more important than one game. tennessean.com/story/sports/c…

Hello from Las Vegas. I can report that I’ve found an airport with a much slower baggage claim process than Nashville.

Good morning (or afternoon) #Titans

Sources: Penn State has fired James Franklin.

Raiders won the toss and deferred. It'll be the #Titans ball to start. Here we go in Vegas.

Raiders had no answer for Jeffery Simmons at the end of that drive. Just like pretty much every other offense the #Titans have been playing lately.

The #Titans are beating the Raiders' O-Line to an extent I've not seen the Titans' pass rush beat anyone in a good, long while. Bunch of boos by Raiders fans after that last possession.

Per #Titans, hamstring injury for WR Calvin Ridley. He's questionable to return.

That's all for Trent Dilfer at UAB.

NEW: The #Titans have the league’s worst offense and nothing to lose in a season that’s pretty much toast already. There’s no reason to keep playing it safe. tennessean.com/story/sports/c…

So I just landed at the Nashville airport to find that the #Titans have fired Brian Callahan. Obviously, I will have much more to say about this today.

#Titans ticket office is acting fast. Friend just got this:

The #Titans are expected to name Mike McCoy their interim head coach, per sources. McCoy, 53, was the Chargers head coach from 2013-16 and most recently was a senior offensive assistant in Tennessee.

NEW: So that’s it for Brian Callahan, a nice guy whose #Titans legacy will be that he wasn’t cut out for the difficulty of coaching this team at this moment in its history. tennessean.com/story/sports/c…
