Tennessee Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky is having a rough week. First, he was shut down by former Titans and current Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, and now edge rusher Arden Key is getting in on the fun.
Kuharsky is no stranger to drawing the ire of Titans players and coaches, and Key is just the latest. The veteran defender took to Instagram on Sunday and made it quite clear he isn't a fan of the beat writer.
"Imma say it (probably) the 1st time (in) TITAN history," Key wrote on his story. "Paul (Kuharsky) don't nobody f--- with you or respect you buddy! Next question!"
Not sure if Key was being sarcastic about this being the first time in Titans history that a player has had enough of Kuharsky, but it certainly is not. In fact, it's an annual tradition.
Just a few days before Key's post, Kuharsky was saying on social media that any Titans fan who roots for Henry to do well as a member of the Ravens is not a real fan of the team because of the longstanding rivalry between Tennessee and Baltimore.
Henry responded: "Paul go find something to do."

Titans star defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons recently shared his thoughts on the team's beat reporters, but he did not mention one by name. Simmons suggested that some Titans beat reporters "hate us so much" based on their negative coverage.
I just be seeing a lot of tweets and hit that bookmark! How do some of you guys cover us (Titans) but hate us so much 🤦🏽♂️

Safe to say, media availability with players during training camp might be a bit more interesting. All Titans players will report on Tuesday, July 23, and the first practice is slated for Wednesday, July 24.
