Here's your chance to meet and greet Titans head coach Jeff Fisher and hang with the great players, past and present.

The annual Jeff Fisher & Friends charity softball game happens Friday at Greer Stadium, and you can get your $15 reserved seats by calling 242-4371.

Or you can win my ''Name the Coliseum'' contest, and you'll get two tix to Thursday night's private reception, where you'll meet Coach Fisher. You'll also get two VIP tix to Friday's game, and that gets you into a post-game reception at Sluggers bar in Greer Stadium.

If you go, you'll see Steve McNair, Eddie George, Kevin Dyson, Erron Kinney, Rocky Boiman, Peter Sirmon, Chris Brown, Craig Hentrich, Neil O'Donnell, Antwan Odom, Bo Schobel, Ben Troupe, Ken Amato, Rocky Calmus, Zach Pillar, Robert Reynolds, Jared Clauss, Pacman Jones and some Predators, including Head Coach Barry Trotz.

You'll also see fireworks.

Now, you know The Coliseum has been without a name since Adelphia left the picture. Let's pick a new fun name, like, say, the McNair Lair. Oh boy, that's lame. Please enter and do better.

Fax or e-mail me by noon Wednesday. Please include your full name, town and daytime phone number. You've got to live in The Tennessean circulation area to win.

The best thing about this contest is that if you win and you have $80 million, you can actually name the Coliseum. Good luck.

Sit right back and we'll tell a tale of Mandy

TBS is starting a second season of reality show The Real Gilligan's Island June 8, and one of the Mary Anns is from Nashville.

If you're not familiar with this show, it puts two sets of ''real-life'' professors, skippers, ''Ginger'' starlets, ''Mary Ann'' cute girls next door, etc., on an island. They battle it out in a series of competitions and silly stuff to win money.

Our Mary Ann is Nashville interior designer Mandy Weaver, 26, a super-bubbly, super-cute young lady who has turned budding fame into a layout in July's issue of men's magazine FHM.

Mandy, a 2000 Tennessee Tech grad, said she ended up rooming with Angie Everhart, a model-turned-B-movie star.

Mandy said Angie was a bit of a, uh, challenge to live with at first.

''Angie is one of those people you have to smooth into. She's very aggressive in what she says,'' Mandy said.

But, eventually, they got along like fabulous girlfriends.

''She taught me how to walk like a supermodel. And,'' Mandy said, delivering the ultimate girl compliment, ''she has great hair.''

Joe Don is supportive of girlfriend's career

Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts hasn't said much about his two-year girlfriend, Tiffany Fallon, being Nashville's first Playboy Playmate of the Year.

Or about her being a Playmate (December 2004) period.

Ya gotta wonder: Is it at all weird for millions of people to, uh, well, see your girlfriend sans clothes?

''Not at all,'' Joe Don said right away. ''Those guys look at lots of naked girls because they're subscribers.''

Hmmmmmm. Hadn't thought about it that way…

''She's a helluva model and she's gorgeous and she's natural. It's a great opportunity. Things are gonna take off for her.

''She's the breadwinner now so I have to support her.''

Oh, so that's why he's so psyched about it.

But does she think his tractor's sexy?

Did you catch the People magazine story about the surprise double-secret Kenny Chesney/Renee Zellweger wedding?

If you're still scratching your head at how two never-been-married people in their 30s suddenly decide to get married after only a few months …

Kenny's manager, Dale Morris, takes a stab at explaining it.

''In talking with her, she's been a lot like Kenny,'' Dale told People. ''She said she's been waiting for all these years for the right person to come into her life.

''When she met Kenny, she knew. She said she didn't want to wait to find out if it was right. She knew right now.''

So there.

• Assault charges will be dropped against 50 Cent if he stays out of trouble and stays drug free for two years, a judge in Springfield, Mass., ruled. The rapper was accused of trampling two women and punching a third during a concert last year after someone in the crowd sprayed him with water, the AP reports.
