VIDEO: Nashville News Station Takes Shot at Titans' Marcus Mariota During Live Broadcast
By Scott Rogust
While everyone is excited for the upcoming four-day Thanksgiving weekend, there is the sense of dread about making the perfect turkey. A Nashville news station, News 4, was demonstrating live how to cook a bird for the big day. Once the turkey was done, the on-site reporter decided to name it "Mariota."
Get it? Because Marcus Mariota's Tennessee Titans career is done. Way to kick a man while he's down.
The shots only continued, as the in-studio anchor asked how one would actually know the turkey done, to which you can hear her colleague's snarky reply, "when you're throwing three interceptions in a game."
In all fairness, Marcus Mariota's time in Tennessee was ticking, as his play only regressed over his first five years in the league. Sensing a downward spiral, head coach Mike Vrabel benched him in favor of Ryan Tannehill. Sure enough, Tannehill has revitalized the Titans offense...just like everyone expected.
Now 6-5 on the year, the Titans have a huge divisional matchup this holiday weekend against the Indianapolis Colts (6-5). We'd guess Mariota won't be available, due to the burns he received from the News 4 crew.
