WATCH: Taylor Lewan makes unusual promo with WWE stars
Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan is a bit of a super fan of Tennesse’s NHL franchise, the Nashville Predators. And on Friday, he was a part of a hype for the Predator, with help from a few WWE Superstars.
The Nashville Predators are one of their leagues’ more unique teams when it comes to game celebrations and getting the crowd pumped up. And this video with WWE superstars Shaemus and Drew McIntyre fits right in their wheelhouse.
Lewan and the Titans didn’t have the end to the season that they wanted. After securing the AFC’s only first round bye, Tennessee lost in their opening game to the eventual AFC champions the Cincinnati Bengals. Lewan has had some trouble staying on the field while with the Titans. Over the last three seasons, the former first round pick out of Michigan has missed a total of 19 games over that period.
The Predators are set to face off against the reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning. Their matchup could be a preview of this year’s Stanley Cup Finals, as they are two of the two teams in their respective conferences.
McVay turns down a massive deal from Amazon
Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Los Angeles Rams Sean McVay has been a prime target of Amazon in hopes of him becoming their new lead analyst for their Thursday Night Football program. But it appears that their dreams of landing McVay will have to wait another season.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams head coach said on Friday that he is not pursuing any television opportunities. And he doubled down, saying that he was committed to helping the Rams defend their Super Bowl title.
Earlier in the week, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported that sources close to the situation believed Amazon was willing to put up a large offer to convince him to join their Thursday Night broadcast team. McVay was not Amazon’s first choice; that would be former FOX NFL Sunday prime time analyst Troy Aikman. And now, it appear that he is no longer a choice at all for the streaming giant.
