The ‘Wizard of NFL Halftime’? Watch Ozzie Smith go 100 yards for a wild pick-six at Nissan Stadium

Ozzie Smith makes a Pick-6 at halftime of a Titans game.

The best tape to come from the Tennessee Titans preseason game on Saturday night came at halftime. It came from nine-year-old Ozzie Smith, who made quite the play during a flag football game held as part of the halftime entertainment.

And Titans head coach Brian Callahan might want a look at the halftime film in case he needs another defensive back.

The Titans were bottom third in the NFL last year with a -6 turnover differential. Smith? Well, the Titans might have found the solution to that at halftime of Saturday’s preseason game.

(The Titans beat the Seattle Seahawks 16-15 on Saturday and allowed just nine passing first downs…but didn’t create any turnovers…enter Smith).

Now, this is a pretty good highlight. Smith does a good job of dropping back into coverage, reaching up and making the interception.

Then, at nine years old, he shows good composure to take off down the field and makes one good move to break free.

From there, it is speed and a touchdown celebration. Quite a nice play from the ‘Wizard of Nashville.’

Un feliz 30 aniversario el domingo a uno de los mejores episodios deportivos en televisión: “Homero al bat”, un episodio de Los Simpsons de 1992 protagonizado por nueve jugadores de la Major League Baseball contratados para ganar un juego de softball por el equipo de la Planta de Poder de Springfield de Montgomery Burns.

El episodio es icónico por muchas razones, tanto asó que Homero Simpson – quien anotó el RBI ganador gracias a un picheo que lo dejó inconsciente – recibió su propia placa en el Salón de la Fama del Béisbol.

Así que decidimos que la mejor manera de celebrar sería ranqueando los nueve jugadores que participaron, con una mezcla de sus mejores citas, destinos y más que decidieron quien fue el más memorable en este episodio:

Watch: Jack Nicklaus bows after Cardinals’ great Ozzie Smith hits putt at Ascension Charity Classic

Two titans from their respective sports teamed up for a nice moment during action at the Ascension Charity Classic.

A host of top names are near the top of the leaderboard at the Ascension Charity Classic at Norwood Hills Country Club in St. Louis.

But two titans from their respective sports teamed up for a nice moment  when Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith hit an 8-foot putt with Jack Nicklaus eyeing the line.

Smith, the 15-time All-Star who won a World Series with the Cardinals in 1982 when St. Louis defeated Milwaukee, displayed solid form in dropping the putt, and Nicklaus threw up his arms then bowed to the shortstop.

It was a nice moment for Smith, who earlier in the week said that Nicklaus would be in his dream foresome.

“Of course Tiger would be one of those guys. Mr. Nicklaus. Who else would I put in there?” Smith said. “I guess modern day, DeChambeau would probably add a lot more excitement, watch him hit bombs. You know, that would be my foursome.”

And how good is the rest of Ozzie’s game?

“It’s good on the range,” he joked. “It’s not until you leave the range that you find out what you have, but that’s all part of it. So you try and find it as quickly as you can and hopefully you can hold on to what you find over there.”
