Overall, he has made 47 of 55 field-goal atte |

Linemen, quarterbacks and running backs skittered away like school kids when they saw the twitching carcass. Schottenheimer, clearly not a fan of reptiles, hollered for the rattler |

| ) -Coach Jeff Fisher lashed out at critics of the Tennessee Titans' dealings with Billy Volek, saying Wednesday that Volek lied to him and never took advantage of the opportunity to be the starter. The Titans finally traded Volek on Tuesday to the San Diego Chargers for a sixth-round draft pick that could become a fifth-rounder depending on playing time. Fisher said Volek asked to be traded the day the Titans signed Kerry Collins late last month. ``I never at anytime in my career have gone into such detail (a |
