A Layman's Blog: Self-help............................

2 months ago | andersonlayman.blogspot.com | Steve Layman

"Whenever you think that some situation or some person is ruining your life, it is actually you who are ruining your life. It is such a simple idea. Feeling like a victim is a perfectly disastrous way to go through life. If you just take the attitude that however bad it is in any way, it's always your fault and you just fix it the best you can - the so-called "iron prescription" - I think that really works.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Three Predators legends will soon be forever enshrined in franchise history as the team will induct the first class into its new Golden Hall Thursday night ahead of the puck drop against the Blackhawks. It would be hard to find a more fitting trio for the inaugural class than David Poile, Pekka Rinne and Shea Weber. "This is kind of it," Poile said at the Golden Hall luncheon Wednesday.
Remembering the Music City Miracle 25 years to the day

Jan 8, 2025 | newschannel5.com | Steve Layman

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It was a tough season for the Tennessee Titans. They went just 3-14, leading to the firing of general manager Ran Carthon on Tuesday. A far cry from where the team was 25 years ago. Yes, believe it or not, the most famous play in franchise history — The Music City Miracle — took place a quarter century ago. It was January 8, 2000, when the Titans played host to the Buffalo Bills in an AFC Wild Card game.
Layman: Commanders humble Titans in 42-19 beatdown

Dec 1, 2024 | newschannel5.com | Steve Layman

LANDOVER, MD. (WTVF) — The Titans believed their win over the Texans showed the progress they have made. But Sunday they reverted to the team they have been much of the season in a 42-19 loss to the Commanders. Tennessee was mistake-prone and, at times, overmatched in an embarrassing first 19:01 that saw Washington race out to a 28-0 lead that was too much to overcome.
Layman: Titans show fight in wild win in Houston

Nov 25, 2024 | newschannel5.com | Steve Layman

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — There were plenty of familiar mistakes from the Titans Sunday, but it was their newfound resolve that was the story as they rallied back from an early deficit and then again late to stun the AFC South-leading Texans 32-27 for just their third win of the season. The first 3:45 of Sunday’s game felt like a microcosm of the Titans’ season.
Layman: Replay, mistakes cost Titans against Chargers

Nov 10, 2024 | newschannel5.com | Steve Layman

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — All season long the Titans have been looking for someone to make a play. A momentum-changing moment that could swing the tide in the one of the numerous tight games that they’ve come out on the short end of the stick. At Sofi Stadium Sunday it looked like that big play had finally arrived eight games and a nearly one full half into the season, but the ensuing replay review erased a touchdown and completely swung momentum.
Mr. Reliable NWI creates bigger role in Titans' offense

Nov 6, 2024 | newschannel5.com | Steve Layman

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nick Westbrook-Ikhine stood at his stall inside the Titans locker room wearing a Honda Accord t-shirt. It was a symbol for just how reliable the fifth-year wide receiver has become in the Tennessee offense. “A buddy of mine showed me a tweet from when I made the 53-man roster (at the end of training camp),” Westbrook-Ikhine said. “Something about a Honda Accord or something like that. It might not look pretty, but it will get you from A to B.

DETROIT — After the trades of two starters during the week the Titans came to Ford Field Sunday looking to prove their season is not over. Instead, they laid out the blueprint for what not to do against one of the NFL's best teams in a 52-14 beatdown at the hands of the Lions.
Layman: Callahan's gamble costs Titans in loss to Bills

Oct 20, 2024 | newschannel5.com | Steve Layman

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Brian Callahan emerged from the tunnel at halftime Sunday in Buffalo and spoke with CBS sideline reporter A.J. Ross moments before the second half began, seemingly trying to speak into existence a belief that a Titans team that has struggled in the second half all season could find a way to beat the AFC East-leading Bills. “Now like every game this year we’ve got to finish,” Callahan said.
