The Titans have been the center of a buzz of late with the addition of quarterback Marcus Mariota in the first round of last month's NFL Draft, but there could be a buzz of a much more negative kind coming today. WTVF News Channel 5's investigative reporter Phil Williams is set to release a report tonight during the stations 10 p.m. newscast that links the Titans to a ticket scalper. The Titans have an impressive streak of home sellouts, dating back to the very first game the team played at then Adelphia Coliseum and continuing through last season. That's 16 consecutive seasons of sellouts for the east bank home of the team. Impressive by anyone's standards. According to promotional videos by Williams released on the News Channel 5 website, Williams and his team will release information found in their investigation that could prove costly to the Titans. Ticket scalpers of course are an ugly side effect of professional sports. Scalpers manage to buy large quantities of tickets that they resell for an inflated price and profit. Some cities, such as Atlanta, have made laws to curtail some of the scalping activity. Under Georgia law, it is illegal to sell tickets at an inflated price on stadium grounds or city property. Though that has helped some, the secondary ticket market in Atlanta still exists. While details of the whole story are not available, if Williams and his team have proof that the Titans made a deal with scalpers to purchase their remaining tickets to keep the streak alive, it is likely that the team will be asked some very tough questions in the near future, and fans will likely not be happy. Veteran Nashville sports talk radio show host George Plaster, co-host of Sports Night on 102.5 The Game, was quoted by Williams in the interview and shared the following thoughts on the information that Williams presented. "I think somebody is going to have to address, look, whatever happened, this is not who we are, this is not what we stand for and going forward you won't be having these kinds of stories," Plaster said. Stay tuned because this one could be very interesting.
