WHERE'S LENDALE?

As the coaching staff is projecting a "no big deal" demeanor regarding the failure of running back LenDale White to report to training camp despite coming to terms more than two days ago, there is plenty of speculation among his teammates as to White's whereabouts.

The prevailing theory is that he's fat and out of shape. There's also speculation (we repeat, speculation) that White has been hanging with Snoop Dogg, and that LenDale consequently needs to let some things work out of his system before being subjected to a visit from the piss man. (Again, that's speculation only.)

Regardless, it's a bizarre situation. And the Titans REALLY aren't in a position to complain about White's absence, since doing so could be viewed as an implicit admission that they were stoopid for interrupting his draft-day free fall.

White was at one time considered to be a first-round prospect, but his inability to run the 40-yard dash prior to the draft and the arguably poor manner in which he handled the situation caused him to fall to the Titans in round two.

Stay tuned.

Wow, just Wow. White looks like he wants to be the next Onterrio Smith. All that talent going to waste by off field problems. I hope for Whites sake theres a good reason.

He has a contract and hes holding out :lol:

Snoop wouldn't steer him wrong would he ?
Smoke another one dawg :wink:

I don't know if that stuff is true, but if he is signed, he should be in camp. :roll:

Fat and out of shape? He got the munchies from hanging out with Snoop Dogg.

I heard Onterrio Smith is now a sales representative for the whizzinator. Rumor has it White has been trying to contact him.

Thank God the Vikes didn't take him in the 1st round over Greenway.

Just another sad story on how these players that get a chance of a lifetime, piddle it away with self greed and child like behavior....I never thought we would pick him up in the draft anyways.....

I think we are already showing a new face with our team this year, a serious and disciplined one......Sweet..

It's scary how some people on this board wanted White if DeAngelo Williams and Laurence Maroney had already gone.. Even over taking a linebacker!

I gotta agree with ya whack, thank God we didn't take him.

Yes. Very sweet.
I guess they shouldn't have given him the signing bonus check until he showed up for camp.
Maybe he's just busy shopping for gold chains or something!
