I was really looking forward to the SuperBowl this year. The last time the Titans were in the SuperBowl, I had just gotten engaged to my high school, then college, sweetheart. It was Y2K, and life was great. As I am on the doorstep of 30 now and happier than ever, now married to that same wonderful guy who had chosen me to spend his life with, I thought . . . what a great time for the Titans to go to the SuperBowl again. Thanks Titans. So much for that!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans were convinced nobody liked them. They were an unappreciated small-market team, a workmanlike bunch that lacked the gloss or controversy that sells or attracts attention.
As the hype around the Baltimore Ravens grew, they grumbled.
Then, on their home field with a chance to quiet the critics -- real or imagined -- they produced a dud similar in scope to the last time when they were the AFC's No. 1 seed.
