Posted Nov 2, 2007
David Thornton knows how to celebrate a birthday. The Tennessee Titans linebacker turned 29 Thursday, but the real party starts Saturday when the bus Thornton chartered for at least 60 relatives arrives in Nashville from North Carolina. This isn't the first time Thornton has chartered transportation to bring people to watch him play. [He] said he had brought school teachers, local residents and some family and friends to games when he played in Indianapolis.
