Fisher nuts?
Oh, the psychological damage that the Patriots must have inflicted on the poor Tennessee Titans.
Case in point: In what can either be classified as a stroke of genius or hitting rock bottom, Titans coach Jeff Fisher showed up at a rally at the University in Nashville yesterday, and introduced former Colts coach Tony Dungy to the crowd wearing a Peyton Manning jersey.
“I just wanted to feel like a winner,” he said.
Ouch.
Maybe it was Fisher’s way of motivating a group of players who quit on him during Sunday’s 59-0 trouncing at Gillette Stadium. Or maybe he’s intent on going down in flames in Tennessee.
Fisher later apologized for the jersey during his weekly radio show:
“It was for a very, very worthwhile cause, charity,” Fisher said. “I was introducing Tony, just having fun with it and I really apologize if I offended anybody, but if you’re offended over the nature of that type of thing, then I think you need to rethink things.
“This is a very worthwhile and needy benefit and I was honored to be there. … I’m sorry if I offended anybody but if I had to do it again, I would do it again.”
Titans fans don’t think the whole thing is very funny. But then again, what is these days?
