Yeah, well...some people believe in Santa and the (expletive deleted) Tooth Fairy, too. Doesn't make them real, either.
(Then again, TL doesn't actually specify what kind of character they believed in, so...)

Taylor Lewan earns his reputation
Titans first-round pick offensive tackle Taylor Lewan was inserted into the lineup near the end of their blowout win over the Chiefs on Sunday. Presumably this was to "steal" some game reps for him so that if and when they decide to turn to him full-time, he will already have some understanding of how the speed of the game picks up in the regular season. What does he do with his bonus reps?
Oh, on his third play of the game, he gets a blatant 15-yard face mask penalty on a Chiefs defensive lineman because the play before, that same defensive lineman had put Lewan on his back. There is less than three minutes left in the game, his team was up 16 points and all anyone wants to do at that point is keep the clock running and go home with a win. Evidently for Lewan, settling a personal score mattered a little more to him than all that. If I was a defensive player and we had to go back on the field after that, I would have called him everything but a child of God when he jogged his selfish ass off the field.
Lewan has already earned a reputation as somewhat of a head case and you have to figure that if he keeps pulling dumb shit like this, his coaches will never trust him enough to put him in for a whole game. I hope at some point he gets it together because he has all the tools to be a dominating left tackle in the NFL.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
Why does a first round pick need to "steal" game reps for when his team decides he's worthy of full-time play?

Sometimes the word replacement thing just doesn't convey the proper meaning well enough.I don't know why you feel the need to spell it out. We all know what you're saying.

Taylor Lewan chooses settlement
Tennessee Titans rookie Taylor Lewan plans to settle rather than go to trial to fight three misdemeanor assault charges from last December, his lawyer said.
Lewan, a four-year starter at the University of Michigan, was charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of assault and battery stemming from an altercation outside of a bar in Ann Arbor last winter.
Jury selection for the trial was scheduled to begin Monday but was canceled during a settlement conference Thursday.

Slap on the wrist......pleads to lesser charges.
"Lewan, who currently plays for the Tennessee Titans, pleaded guilty to drunk and disorderly and disturbing the peace charges. One count of aggravated assault and two counts of assault and battery will be dismissed in the plea deal......
The plea deal calls for no upfront jail time. Lewan agreed to some term of probation, to take an anger management class and have no contact with the victims. He will also pay at least $1,714 in restitution, but that amount could go up."
