I warn you Titans fans, you may not like what you are about to see, and this may be the reason Vince Young was considering a very early retirement.Dear Vince,We hate you, we have tried to make that fact very clear to you but you just won’t take the hint.You continue to show up at training camp and off season team activities. We tried to piss you off by ignoring free agent wide outs like Javon Walker and Randy Moss and insted brought in players like Justin McCarents and over the hill Alge Crumpler.But than you still didn’t quit.Next we tried to get rid of you at the expense of our future as an organization, We drafted Chris Johnson over players like Limas Sweed, Devin Thomas, and Jordy Nelson.Just to make sure, we waited until the fourth round to draft a crappy WR named Lavelle Hawkins.AND YOU STILL DIDN’T QUIT!!!!So now we send you this letter begging you to please go away. We honestly think that Kerry Collins would be a better fit for this team than you.Yours Truly,Titans Front Office. HOUSTON, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — EPiC Energy Resources, Inc.

It’s going to be a busy summer for the Ranger brass as they look to bolster a solid foundation in hopes of a run at the Stanley Cup come next June.Let’s start in goal where it’s quite simple.Henrik Lundqvist ($6.9 mil.) has merited three Vezina nominations in his first three seasons.Behind him, Stephen Valiquette proved to be a very valuable backup. He was cheap and very effective when Lundqvist needed a spell It only makes sense not to rock the boat. He made $617,500 last season, so give him a little raise and retain a loyal and talented asset.Going into the 07-08 campaign, many predicted the Rangers’ back-line to be their downfall. It turned out to be their strong point.Marc Staal, Fedor Tyutin, and Dan Girardi are all under contract for next season, giving the organization a very solid core to work around.

Paul Mara ($3 mil.) and Marek Malik ($2.5 mil.) should be gone.Christian Backman proved to be a penalty waiting to happen and never gave the Rangers a boost on the powerplay. Unfortunately, he is under contract for $2.3 million for next season.It appears as if Andrew Hutchinson, who the Rangers signed last summer to a microscopic $475,000 two-year deal, could fill the role the organization thought Backman could. He posted big numbers (18-46-64) in Hartford and could provide the organization with a powerplay quarterback until highly touted Bobby Sanguinetti is ready for the jump.Finally, we come to Michal Rozsival, the team’s de facto number one defenseman. Yes, the Rangers could go out and pursue RFA Joni Pitkanen or UFA’s Jason Smith and Brooks Orpik as many are speculating, but none of the available defensemen this summer are head and shoulders above Rozsival.He has his problems, but he is more dynamic than Smith and Orpik While Pitkanen has an offensive upside, he is an RFA. The Rangers would likely have to make an enormous offer-sheet to someone not all that much better than the guy they already have.I say sign Rozsival, try to move Backman and promote Hutchinson Also, sign Jason Strudwick. He can’t demand too much of a raise and everyone always raves about his leadership qualities.The situation up front is very murky for the Blue Shirts. With the addition of centers Scott Gomez and Chris Drury last summer, the Rangers completely altered their dynamic, appearing to place the team among the league’s offensive elite.Unfortunately, Jaromir Jagr and the passing wizard Gomez didn’t click.

At all.While Michael Nylander stickhandled through everyone on the ice three times a piece before setting Jagr up for his deadly one-timer the previous two seasons, Gomez plays a very North American, north-south style game.He plays the game at a high speed whereas the success Jagr and Nylander enjoyed was due to their ability to slow the game down and play east-west, very European. Someone should have seen it coming but no one did and the Rangers paid heavily for it.As Tom Renney said following the loss in Pittsburgh, if Jagr were to come back the only role he can play is the team’s number one forward.It contrasts with the way the organization is heading, but Jagr proved in the playoffs that he can still dominate despite playing with a cast that doesn’t exactly compliment him. He led the NHL in scoring through the first two rounds. The Rangers can’t afford to pay the $8.36 million he was paid last season, only $5 million of which New York actually paid (Washington paid the difference) with huge contracts out to Gomez, Drury, and Lundqvist. Jagr has much more financially lucrative deals overseas and the Rangers are moving in another direction. What it basically comes down to is how much Jagr really wants to stay in New York, because the best offer he’ll probably receive will be a $5 million base salary laden with easily attainable bonuses around $3 million as to avoid a further cap-hit.Like I said, it’s all up to Jagr at this point.The soon-to-be 39-year-old Brendan Shanahan might be looking for his third one-year contract in a row. Despite scoring over 20 goals for an amazing 19th consecutive year, it appears as if Shanahan is on the way out.He still boasts a heavy shot and has become a reliable penalty-killer, but if he were to resigned he would likely have to take a pay-cut for the second straight year and accept a smaller role. Renney even put him on the fourth line in the Pittsburgh series for a while. The fact is the Rangers shouldn’t pay him $2.5 million when they can go out and get a guy like Brian Rolston who is much more dynamic and younger (35) for maybe a million more.

Like Jagr, it’s decision making time for the first-ballot Hall-of-Famer. Jagr’s countryman Martin Straka is also without a contract His situation is simple No Jagr, no Straka. On the flip side, If Jagr is signed, expect Straka to sign as well.Like Jagr and Shanahan, Straka will likely have to take a pay-cut ($3.3 last year) due to his age (36 in September) and drop in production. If the Rangers sign Jagr, they won’t leave him without the only comfort he had this season in Straka.Good old Sean Avery. According to recent reports from Larry Brooks, Glen Sather has yet to contact Avery or his agent, meaning he will probably not be a Ranger come October.Avery and the Rangers flourished with together, but due to last summer’s arbitration, the bloated salary he’ll demand, and his distracting antics, I’m not too surprised Sather hasn’t made an effort. Anything can happen in a month, but as of now it appears Avery is gone.Sather should seriously look to part ways with Petr Prucha as well.
