WBFF Fox 45 :: Titans Release QB Matt Hasselbeck
The Tennessee Titans are saying goodbye to quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.

Hasselbeck spent 2 seasons with the Titans, the first season as the starter and the second as Jake Locker’s backup.

“I want to thank Matt for his contributions to our team over the last two years,” said Titans General Manager Ruston Webster. “He was an important part of the transition process - he was a pro at every turn and he provided an example to the rest of the team. I know that we are a better team for his being here and we wish him the best.”

In 2011, Hasselbeck passed for 3,571 yards, the fourth-highest passing total in Titans history.

Last season, Hasselbeck was called into action for 5 consecutive starts after Locker injured his shoulder. During that time he passed for 1,367 yards and 7 touchdowns in a total of 8 games played in 2012.

Overall, Hasselbeck has 14 years of NFL experience and has thrown for 34,517 yards and 201 touchdowns during his career.Titans Release QB Matt Hasselbeck

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT

IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.

Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).

It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.

With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.

Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.

Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.

Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
