A quiet controversy has been brewing since the Tennessee Titans unveiled their throwback uniforms for the upcoming season. That's because the Titans throwback unis are the same ones the old Houston Oilers wore.

Knowing the history of the Oilers would help explain why the Titans are wearing those uniforms as throwbacks. The Oilers played in Houston from 1960 to 1996 at which time they relocated to Memphis. There they became the Tennessee Oilers for the 1997 and 1998 seasons. Then in 1999, they moved to Nashville and were renamed the Tennessee Titans.

What's the controversy then? Well the Houston Texans were established in 1999 to replace the Oilers for the city and some Texans fans are saying it's disrespectful for the Titans to wear the throwbacks of the team that was once affiliated with their city. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

478. 93 things about 1993, part 3

(part 2)

(Newsweek, November 1, 1993)

12. David Williams' $125,000 baby

(source)

David couldn't make his plane to the game anyway due to the weather even if he tried:

While Debi was in labor, David was on the delivery room phone with coaches and team officials. Time was running out to catch that last flight and the conversation wasn't pretty.

"It was hard on her at the time ... She could hear them screaming over the phone at me,'' David said. "Finally the doctor just yanked the phone plug, took the phone off the wall and said 'We're not taking any more calls.' ''

Scot didn't arrive until almost 6:25 p.m. and, by then, it was too late for Williams to catch the 6:54 p.m. flight from either airport.

"Even if I had left the second after he was born, I still never would have made that plane,'' he said. "It was nerve-wracking for me. I'd never been through anything like that. It was tough.''

He said teammates Mike Munchak and Bruce Matthews tried to arrange a private plane through a third party, but when David left the hospital around 11:30 p.m., he hadn't heard back.

"I had been up with Deb since 4 o'clock that morning and going through that emotional roller coaster of getting screamed at and yelled at by coaches and general manager as I'm in the delivery room,'' he said. "My wife's giving birth and I'm getting screamed at. Man, it isn't supposed to feel like this.'' 1

13. Randy Jackson is kidnapped in Columbia

14. Sales of saxophones rise cuz of Bill

15. New Yorker "kiss" cover

The artist of the cover was Art Spiegelman, the author/illustrator of the Maus series of graphic novels:

“This metaphoric embrace is my Valentine’s card to New York, a wish for the reconciliation of seemingly unbridgeable differences in the form of a symbolic kiss,” he wrote. “I’m also painfully aware that the calamities facing black communities in New York cannot be kissed away. But once a year, perhaps, it’s permissible, even if just for a moment, to close one’s eyes, see beyond the tragic complexities of modern life, and imagine that it might really be true that ‘all you need is love.’” 2

16. Bill Clinton was supposed to be in the Cheers finale?

I thought that this was some sort of rumor that was sent via faxes in offices, and then it branched into water cooler rumor, but NO. Bill really wanted to be in the finale of Cheers (which I bring up here). Unfortunately, when it came to shoot the finale in April, Bill couldn't make it due to Hillary's dad being in poor health, and an upcoming meeting with Boris Yeltsin. 3

I wonder why Bill didn't make a cameo during the last episode of Frasier to make up for it? I mean, he wasn't doing anything in 2004.

17. Neptune, Florida Kmart pipe bomb (December 30th)

Remember when we had to worry about random bombings in the early 90s?

The perp wouldn't be found until June of 1994:

"I think this guy just wanted to blow things up"

He got ten years!
