(I personally would have gone with “lyre,” but that’s just me. I don’t want to harp on it.)

It appears Tennessee Titans center Rob Turner has an issue with Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt. The two were involved in an incident on Sunday in which Turner threw an illegal block on Wyatt, a play that resulted in the Tennessee center being fined by the league. After the game, Wyatt claimed he confronted Turner face-to-face about the play, a claim that Turner disputes.

Said Turner:

"I am a hard-nosed guy and that gets misconstrued sometimes. I know J.J. was saying all sorts of stuff to the media down there about him (telling me he has) a family to feed and stuff like that, but all that wasn’t true and he’s full of it for saying it. That was a lie about him talking to me (USA Today Sports)."

That’s not all:

"For the record, he wouldn’t even look at me, and I don’t have a problem if you put that in print. In fact, I’d encourage you to put that in print and he’s full of it by saying that."

The two players will face each other again on the last Sunday of the season.
