According to Music City Miracles, the Titans just signed receiver Eric Moulds.  Moulds has been an exciting receiver in the past, primarily for the Buffalo Bills.  As Jimmy points out on MCM,  Moulds is not the same receiver as he was with the Bills.  He’s 34 years old, which in wide receiver years is almost 40 years of age.

The stats for Moulds here, show a depressing decline since his heyday in the late 90’s.  But, as pointed out on MCM, even in his ‘later’ years, he caught more passes for the Texans than ANY Titan receiver caught last year.  Here’s hoping that teaming with V. Young will rejuvenate Mr. Moulds.

And in racing news, Tour de France leader Michael Rasmussen was thrown out of the Tour by his own team when it came to light that he was lying about his whereabout during the previous month when drug testing was going to take place.  Don’t say you’re in Mexico when you are publicly prancing around Italy!

German rider Patrick Sinkewitz crashed into a spectator and was thrown out of the race when it was  discovered that he, too*, was a doper.

The entire Italian team took a powder when their rider, Cristian Moreni, failed a drug test mid-race.

I think next year, the MCB cycling correspondent Tim Coble should enter the race.  I know he’s an honest non-doping kinda guy, and perhaps would be the only person left standing by the time the race ends.  I suspect he will have more thorough (and intelligent) commentary later on.

*As reported earlier, one of the favorites of the race, Vinokourav, has already been expelled from this year’s tour for blood doping.

Hey! It looks like I’ll be a Titans fan from now on! (Eric Moulds is from my hometown, and I live 2 miles from his mom’s “mansion”!)

He was a great football player, and I think still is. I hope you’re right…Maybe being closer to home and a new team will rejuvenate him!

Go Titans!

Banned Tour de France rider Alexandre Vinokourov on blood doping charges:

“I heard that I made a transfusion with my father’s blood. That’s absurd, I can tell you that with his blood, I would have tested positive for vodka.”

He’s talked about it. Not seriously. I hope.

If Mouldy takes receptions away from Brandon Jones, I’ll be as mad as a doped cyclist whose transfused blood is full of steroids.

I’m going to have to dope MYSELF up to derive any more enjoyment out of this tour.

Best line last night. Joe Dubin from channel 2 was on the radio, he said, ‘You can’t spell Moulds without Old.’ True.
