Boy, things got heated this afternoon in the Big J community where it’s rather rare to see one Big J go after another Big J on a “sources” story, but that’s exactly what happened when Rand Getlin, who “parted ways” with NFL Network, went after NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport in an Anchorman-style beef bonanza.
This all came after RapSheet tweeted Sunday night that Mike Mularkey was staying as head coach of the Titans and that the Titans had offered Mike an extension. It was announced today by the Titans fired Mularkey.
Enter Getlin, a former coworker of RapSheet. Big J gutshots from Getlin.
Sources: The #Titans have offered coach Mike Mularkey an extension in the wake of their playoff run. He’s staying.

The #Titans announce they have fired coach Mike Mularkey. Unreal.

Take it to Minneapolis, boys.
Now if only I could get Rand to go after Mike Freeman, my old buddy who hasn’t named a source in 20 years of reporting on the NFL.
