Titans vs. Colts

Colts or Titans? That is the question.

Without getting too Shakespearean-- that actually is the question I ponder when delivering sports to East Tennessee each night. This year, it's become especially critical.

You should cover both. If

You should cover both. If only Knoxville could have another college football team to watch. Tennessee fans are so fickle, so if they have two teams to choose, odds are that one of them would be good so just show that one that is winning.
