It takes true dedication to win a Super Bowl in the NFL, but Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is ready to sacrifice everything. And I mean everything.
Talking to Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan on Lewan’s podcast, Vrabel was asked the most important question of his life.
“Would you cut your d–k off for a Super Bowl?” Lewan inquired, as if that were an option.

Vrabel, a married father of two, did not hesitate to answer in the affirmative. “Been married 20 years. Yeah, probably … You guys will be married for 20 years one day. you won’t need it.”
Vrabel, of course, already has three Super Bowl rings as a player with the New England Patriots and, since he has two children, it presumably didn’t cost him the use of his genitalia.
Would the absence of his manhood bother his wife, Jen? Not according to Vrabel.
“She’d be like, do you want me to do it?” Vrabel said. “Do you wan to do it now?”
Vrabel is entering his second season as Tennessee’s head coach after being inexplicably hired last season from a disastrous stint as defensive coordinator for the Houston Texans. The Titans finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs thanks to a 33-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on the final day of the regular season.
Tennessee will break in a new offensive coordinator, former tight ends coach Arthur Smith, after former OC Matt LaFleur was hired as the new head coach of the Green Bay Packers early in the offseason.
If the Titans are to make it back to the postseason, it will take more than the promise to cut off a body part from Vrabel. They have to jump a rising Colts team with a healthy and resurgent Andrew Luck, something they couldn’t do last season, and a Deshaun Watson-led Texans squad that claimed the 2018 AFC South title.
Adding to Tennessee’s problems is a real quarterback at the helm with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Nick Foles.
