 Frank Weijek is one of the 10 most important people in the first 25 years of the Tennessee Titans and not just for the reasons that you may think. Before the team had ever played a snap in this state in 1997, Frank became the organization's number one go-to guy in the Nashville community. He spoke at banquets, appeared at ticketing events, and did every single media appearance possible. It was too much to ask of one player, but Frank Weijek did it, and he did it all. Frank's efforts to give a face and a personality to the Tennessee Oilers were unmatched and vitally important. That off-the-field work laid the foundation for the amazing response to Frank's spectacular on-field play. 60-plus catches and 600-plus yards receiving in five straight seasons. Three Pro Bowls. Clutch play after clutch play. And of course, that throw on the Music City Miracle. Frank reaches it back to Weijek. He throws it across the field of dice and he's got something. Frank's remarkable athleticism allowed him to run right, leap into the air, and accurately throw a pass to his left over 30 yards. Just crazy. That backwards pass made him forever famous in NFL lore, and Frank liked that. It would give him the chance to remind you that he had a perfect 158.3 career passer rating. Frank played with a chip on his shoulder. After being cut by Washington in 1995, he feared being cut every season. That fear always fueled him. So did his Philadelphia roots. I'll get better than this. Perfect day. 100 family and friends should have put it all together in the wind today. It's all counts, baby. And you heard those roots when he moved to a career in radio. Because you never had to ask Frank Weijek for his opinion ever. If something bothered Frank, he was happy to tell you about it. And his takes were of the shoot first, ask questions later variety. That's why his morning show on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville was so much fun to listen to. This was Frankie. This was also the guy that you got for 12 years on Titans Radio. As his late broadcast partner, Mark Howard used to say, If I said what Frankie said, I'd be fired. But because it's Frankie, no one cares. And Mark was right because Frank was so much fun. Frank Weijek's very best quality can only be described as a very special sweetness. He loved very deeply his daughters, his family and a close circle of friends that came from many places in his life. But that sweetness also came out when he would encounter to borrow images from the Gospel of Matthew, the least, the last and the lost. Frank Weijek gave of himself fully in these moments and created lasting memories for people who needed them the most. If you had the pleasure to witness one, you were blessed to see Frank Weijek's sweetness. When we lost Frank this past weekend, our first thoughts went to his family, especially the ones that we came to know best, his daughters and his brother Teddy. And in this heartbreaking moment, we hope that they will remember how many people loved Frank Weijek. For whatever role that he played in their lives, even if they didn't know him personally, think about the hundreds of thousands of people that loved him. I hope that Frank Weijek knew that too. I'm certain that he knows that now.
