Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, hit us with those mailbag questions @SoBrosNetwork on Twitter, email ’em to me anonymously at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com. And, holy shit, I need to update this terrible intro paragraph that I’ve been using literally ever since I started writing this column…
Question, from Dom on Twitter:
What wr do you think we draft?
Answer:
Definitely NOT Isaac TeSlaa (iykyk). I’m going to go out on a limb here and say the Titans end up with Kyle Williams.
Question:
Favorite non-football sport
— d good (@dgood2075288732) March 26, 2025
Answer:
Man, that’s a tough one. I honestly don’t know that I can say I have a favorite sport outside of football. I guess basketball because I do like watching the NBA from time to time. Others I enjoy when they’re on and I catch them: rugby, ping-pong, tennis, and cricket.
Question:
Would you rather : will levis be the starting qb for the next 2 years for the titans or you have to go to the barber that messed up your haircut every two weeks for a yr straight
— T.K. (@Tbull22) March 26, 2025
Answer:
I can live with horrible football. I think I’m pretty different in that regard – the Titans are my team. They’re going to be my team no matter what. Would I like for them to be good? Sure. But, is it the end of the world if they’re bad? No. Not at all. Now, conversely, is my current haircut end of the world bad? Yes. It is. I ain’t goin’ back to that place, TK! Never!
Question:
Are we getting Cam Ward
— Titan Bot (@ScumCuck) March 26, 2025
Answer:
Go ahead and get that Ward Oilers jersey ready, bud.
Question:
Raw or wrapped up?
— Titan Travis (@Titantravis08) March 27, 2025
Answer:
I can only assume you’re talking about weightlifting here, Travis. While I understand the benefits of wrapping up for protection, I’ve always been a raw guy.
Question:
If you were the raiders GM who would you draft in the first round and why is it Tyler Warren? Run 13 the whole game. Who has the defense to match up with that?
— Matthew Deckard (@mattdeckard3) March 26, 2025
Answer:
Honestly, man…that Raiders roster has so many needs, it would be hard for them to pick a position that WOULDN’T help the team. Personally, I think if Mason Graham falls to me at that spot, I’m sprinting to the podium. But, to your point, they just need WEAPONS. Warren and Brock Bowers together would be quite the pair…who needs receivers at that point? Run 13 the whole game with Michael Mayer there too, and keep the defenses guessing.
Question:
1. With @eastonfreeze being the youngin’ that’s never seen Remember the Titans, at what point do you start a “SoBros: Reacts” channel hiring him and @jackagentry just to watch movies they haven’t seen on YouTube?
— Eldon English (shrike113) (@shrike4113) March 27, 2025
2. If you had any ingredients you want, build your ideal taco?
Answer:
- Love that idea – maybe we’ll try it out this summer.
- Nice and easy – chorizo, raw onions, queso, cilantro, jalapenos
Question:
What is something you want to achieve this year? Personally or professionally
— Titan Travis (@Titantravis08) March 27, 2025
Answer:
A couple years ago, I actually made a goal to set less goals. In Year 10 of this shit, I realized that I didn’t have to step on the gas as hard as I used to in order to further my goals. When all of this stuff was really at its ground floor level, it was nothing for me to work until 2AM and then set an alarm for 6AM to wake up and keep the train rolling. I would sit down at the end of the year and make my agenda for the following year, and the last year I did that, I’m not kidding when I say I had close to 300 items to do for the next year. It started eating away at me – I gained weight, lost muscle, started turning gray, feeling like shit…all that. It was like burning the candle at both ends. So, I made a choice to do less work and do more things that were centered around my health and the enrichment of my life. All of that to say that I had a bit of a moment when I read your question – I didn’t even set a single goal for this year lmao.
So, if I were to come up with something on the fly…on the personal side, these are my usual annual goals that I’ll stick with:
- Read 10 books
- Try 10 new restaurants for date night with my wife
- Cook 10 new recipes
- Take at least one vacation and focus on actually resting
On the professional side:
- Publish my second book of poetry
- Finish charting the 2024 Titans offense (probably just in time for Brian Callahan to completely change it to fit Cam Ward’s strengths)
Question:
Is the meaning of life to be content and be happy. Or forever chase happiness in a fruitless attempt for contentment.
— eddie (@wondernomma) March 27, 2025
Answer:
Personally, I don’t know that there is a meaning to life, Eddie. That’s not meant to sound so nihilistic – I’m okay, I promise. I just think it can be a stressful endeavor to try and attach meaning to something we really can’t. I believe we establish our own meaning to life and there’s not a universal path towards happiness. There are plenty of people that might not have the resources to lead an easy life…circumstances are different for everyone…all that stuff. So, my thing is just to focus on what you can in your world/surroundings, accept it for what it is, what it shows you it is, and lean into the things that make you happy. It’s not as easy as just “be happy” either – I think you should strive to improve the lives of those around you. If you can be comfortable in your skin, appreciate the life you have, and you can make your circle better, that’s all the meaning you need in my book. That’s my nirvana.
Question:
3. Which would be the more embarrassing way to die? Getting stung by a cone snail or eating an ill-prepared Pufferfish?
— Eldon English (shrike113) (@shrike4113) March 27, 2025
4. Which do you appreciate more, multi-colored lights or white lights on houses/trees during Christmas time?
5. Weirdest thing your orange cat has done?
Answer:
3. I feel like you could easily get stung by a cone snail without seeing it coming, but you’re actively making the decision to consume the pufferfish – no matter how much you trust the chef, the risk is still there and you accept it. So, that’s what I’m rolling with.
4. I’m a big time multi-colored lights fan at Christmas. Something about them feels nostalgic to me. Maybe it’s just because that’s what we had on our tree as a kid and seeing them to this day reminds me of the warm Christmases of my childhood.
5. We had a fly problem a couple of summers ago – nothing crazy, just had a few flies around the living room/kitchen every day…couldn’t figure out where they were coming from. Though we eventually got it under control after a week or so, we discovered after the fact that Bucky had been catching the flies. Instead of eating them, he took them over to one corner of our living room and collected the bodies. I was cleaning one weekend and discovered he had kept the corpses of like six flies as his trophies. I’ve never felt so unsettled about my cat, and at the same time, I was confident that he would kill and eat me if he felt like he could take me down.
Question:
Football:
— Eldon English (shrike113) (@shrike4113) March 27, 2025
1. If you had to put together a broadcast and had access to anyone, who would be your PxP, color, and sideline?
2. What do you consider the most important trait for an OL to have to be successful in the NFL?
3. Of remaining FAs, who do you most wish the Titans sign?
Answer:
- Let’s throw Joe Buck and Greg Olsen together with Marty Smith on the sideline and see what happens.
- Maybe it’s a copout to go with “a gritty mindset,” but I really do think it’s the foundational trait for success in the NFL, especially at that position. For me, it’s one of the primary things I try to suss out while watching tape. You have to be physically gritty, sure, but mental toughness goes a long way in sustaining a long career. You can fix a lot of technique issues. You can put on or lose weight. All of that stuff is well and good, but if you’re not tough enough to hang and you can’t play like a goldfish, wiping the slate clean and moving on to the next play when you’re beat, you won’t stick around. It is probably THE baseline trait for me.
- Tyler Lockett, easy.
Question, from Andrew on Bluesky:
What’s the name of your hypothetical Yankee Candle memecoin?
Answer:
We’re gonna combine ‘Stoney’ and ‘Yankee’ and go $STANKEE
