Titans Ban Reporter After Ward Clash | NFL News

0:00On September 2nd, the Tennessee Titans are catching heat after they pulled the media credentials from reporter Jared Stillman. This happened after Stillman had a pretty public run-in with quarterback Cam Ward last week. Stillman confirmed the band himself, saying the team called him directly and explained their reasoning. Their argument was that, as a YouTuber, Stillman doesn't need the same kind of locker room access as the Daily Beat reporters. They pointed out he's not covering the team every single day or on local radio anymore. The Titans are saying the band is about his overall reporting style, not just that one specific interaction with Ward. This whole situation has other reporters talking. Some are calling the Titans move embarrassing and labeling the franchise as, soft. The core issue seems to be whether this is about enforcing a legitimate credentialing policy or simply punishing a reporter they find annoying. Without a clear explanation from the Titans, it's hard to say for sure. The incident with Cam Ward happened last week when Stillman asked the quarterback to grade his own preseason performance.

1:03Ward shut that down pretty quickly. Now, without his press pass, Stillman's show won't have that direct access to the team's reactions and comments. The Titans organization hasn't put out an official statement on this yet. It definitely raises questions about how teams handle media access and whether they're trying to control the narrative by silencing critics. We'll have to see how this plays out.
