Former Tennessee Titans General Manager Floyd Reese supposedly turned in his resignation to the Tennessee Titans after 21 years back in January of 2007 but his wife, Sally, is now saying that Reese never wanted to leave and that his actual resignation letter was written by team Senior Executive Vice President Steve Underwood, according to the Nashville City Paper.
She claims that Reese, who is now a senior advisor for the New England Patriots, was given no notice of his firing and wasn't allowed to clean out his own office. Reese also supposedly saved head coach Jeff Fisher's job twice while he was with the team. Mrs. Reese's outburst came because she was visiting Nashville and heard what she thought were erroneous claims on a sports-radio station. Her husband was on a plane to London so he had no idea that it was all going on.
Fisher has apparently claimed that Reese kept him out of the draft process as well, but Sally Reese said that wasn't true, either. She said that her husband had actually been planning to draft Devin Hester(notes) but Fisher wanted LenDale White(notes). The Titans eventually drafted White and missed out on the very talented Hester.
You can be sure the Reeses greatly enjoyed New England's 59-0 romp last Sunday, though. "Payback's a bitch," she said. "Sunday I was hoping they'd run it to 100."
One thing Mrs. Reese was certain about: Her husband wasn't going to be happy that she had spilled the beans.

I doubt that Kraft or BB feel sorry for anybody or anything. that might be a little harsh but you get my point.
Pit and the Vikes should be a good one.

They're both "role" players and nothing more...why even throw that out there?
