Keith Bulluck has long been one of the leaders of the Titans defense, but he was just called out by teammate Cortland Finnegan.In a chat on NFL.com, Finnegan was asked if we will see more Terrible Towel stomps this season--something Lendale White and Bulluck did after the Titans' regular season win over the Steelers last year. Finnegan made it clear that not only does he not expect to see it again, but he's pretty upset that any Titan would do it.
No, absolutely not. Certain individuals may do that, but that's not what this team is all about. That's not what this coach is about, that's not what our team is about. You do it in between the lines ... the rest of it is unacceptable.Finnegan isn't really treading on particularly dangerous ground here. His coach, Jeff Fisher, had called the stomp unnecessary, but by calling it unacceptable and saying its not what the team is about, he's basically calling out two of the veterans of the Titans team. With White, maybe it's not that big a deal, but Bulluck has always been seen as one of the clubhouse leaders, and he made it clear after the stomp that he didn't think he'd made a mistake, so we'll have to see how he takes Finnegan's comments.

Bulluck has been a great leader for this team but the torch is passing to Finnegan.More & more he sets the tone on defense with his aggressive style
& Pro Bowl caliber play.In a nut shell if Cortland says it's unacceptable then it's unacceptable,period!
Good for Finnegan. I thought it was it poor taste when I saw it last year.
It's much better to stomp a towell than stomp a face. Albert Haynesworth set the bar low low low. Thankfully the Titans showed a lot of class and let him walk. The Titans are a classy team.
My brother-in-law is an Oilers fan from way back and a Titan fan by sheer migration so he and I go round and round about Steelers v. Titans rivalries. This classless act by White last season got me so irked. As a Steelers fan it actually does my heart proud to see a member from the Titans take exception to this and stand up like a man. I can also say that as a kid I never saw a Steelers player or fan stomp on a "Luv Ya Blue" shirt so hopefully this was just a lapse in judgement ;)
You guys are such a joke who care's stump a towel stump a face hell stump something!
HAIL!
The best part of all of that nonsense as a Steeler fan, was watchin them lose thier first game at home. My Steeler buds and I cracked up everytime they interviewed a titan after the game . Dont worry Bullock , YOU can stop by our stadium any time and look at all six of our trophies
