Titans win coin flip for 16th pick

This year, the Underwear Olympics have adopted a new event.  The coin flip.

Twice this morning a two-sided metal disc was thumb-popped into the air to determine round-one draft order.  The first flip went to the Jaguars at No. 10; the second was won by the Titans at No. 16.

Specifically, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports that the Titans prevailed over San Francisco in the process that determined which of the two teams will pick at No. 16, and which will pick at No. 17.

And as to the lower spot in the round, it’s actually a victory for the Titans — especially since the 16th pick is the last one for which a six-year contract may be used.  From picks 17 through 32, the maximum contract length is five years.

That said, few if any contracts in the teens now entail a six-year contract.  But if a team chooses to insist on a six-year deal, there isn’t much a player can do about it.

    “Twenty dollars?” I says. “I’ll toss you for it.”
    He says, “What will you do for 50?”

    I’m pretty sure they’ve been doing the coin flip at the combine for years.

    Speaking of boredom, I think every should tune in to my new favorite activity. Trying to type their entire post backwards.
    Observe:
