Now I am going to Google “getting super glue off of skin.”

but we all don’t have to.

I’m a fan, but I don’t take it personally when they suck. If I did, my life would be miserable in years they suck and I’d be all bouncy in years they’re good. I’d be some kind of manic depressive.

That said, I care infinitely more about them being 0-6 then the admittedly poorly timed and in questionable taste manner Fisher chose to introduce Dungy at a charity event. Infinitely. And based on the poll results I’m clearly not alone…

that he might have done it to get everyone off of 59-0. Not a bad theory.

The jersey, while in bad taste, isn’t my biggest problem.

Fine, if you want to kowtow to Manning fans and wear his jersey to honor Dungy (not Manning) more power to you. Who said he had to wear ANY jersey?

But my biggest problem is the comment: I wanted to feel like a winner. That’s what makes you an asshole, Jeff Fisher.

If you can’t understand the difference, then your basic comprehension skills are pretty low.

I’m not a loser.

That may not compare to Harvard, but it ain’t exactly nothing, either.

that’s my whole point. this doesn’t rank anywhere near some of the blunders from this season. it’s just something convenient for people to funnel their rage into because DAMN, how many times can you rant about not having a punt returner on the roster.

thank you, beans.

We don’t all have to react like you. August wrote this attacking Jeff Fisher, somebody who is very popular despite the way this season has gone. August had his reasons, I’m not criticizing him for writing what he wrote, even though I disagree with him. But you can’t be surprised when people get pissed at what he wrote. It was inflammatory. I would bet, and he can correct me if I am wrong, August is well aware that what he wrote is inflammatory. The inverse reaction to his post is to defend Fisher. We don’t HAVE to see it as a slap in the face.

And, as Hal said, I found 59-0 much more of a slap in the face than this jersey. I guess that is the unpopular view.

I’d like to win out as much as the next guy, but I’d also like to be a billionaire with my own private island in the bahamas.

I mean, a Manning jersey? He could have come out there with a Unitas jersey and the WHOLE situation would be COMPLETELY different. But a MANNING JERSEY!

Have none of the players come out saying anything? I’m wondering how they are feeling.

Why does everything have to have a gate after it?

for the record.

If Fisher turns the team around and they finish well, I’d say keep him.

If we finish 2-14 though, I think he has to go. I think one season can be a fireable offense if it is bad enough after a 13-3 campaign. They rebuilt the team and if it falls apart that quickly that badly, then something is definitely wrong.

I think 59-0 is a symptom of a bigger problem, and if Fisher can’t find a way to reach these players, then why would he reach them next year?

I ask this: Why would Kenny Britt listen to a word coming out of this coaching staff’s mouth at this point?

…I think Fisher deserves the chance to right things. When I look at this debacle, last years Jags team comes to mind. Last year they were coming off a spectacular season, and were early favorites for the super bowl, but then things came apart on them. They had injuries, players accused of lack of effort, one player in particular calling out the coach, and the coach’s job was being called for. But, they rode it out, stuck with the coach, and their record this season looks like it will be improved from last. Which is what seems to have happened to us, spectacular season last year, some early super bowl picks, then we all know the rest too well, lol. So far though, none of the players have called out Jeff. At least not that I know of, and if that doesn’t happen, I’m taking it as a good sign.

Our team sucked well before they all got hurt.

his cache is running low…

It was a Tony Dungy event. It’s only funny that he wore another team’s jersey because it’s a Colts jersey at an event held by the guy that coached the Colts to success. On the football field, Dungy is a proven winner. The leader of his team, Manning, is a proven winner. Especially this year, Fisher is not.

Now as a Titans fan, I don’t think it’s particularly funny at all. However, wearing some irrelevant team’s jersey just doesn’t make sense. That doesn’t make for an interesting joke in the context in which the joke was delivered. The jersey stunt was just not a good idea period.

I think Fisher’s point was to acknowledge Dungy’s success at the expense of his own current failures. I suspect that if there were such a thing as a Tony Dungy Colts jersey, he would have worn that instead of the #18. Fisher’s mistake is that he did not calculate how it looks in regard to making fun of the entire franchise, not simply himself. He should have come up with a line that more directly reflected back on his own failure as a coach without risking lumping the rest of the team in with himself.

One thing I don’t like is Fisher’s excuse that it was for charity. I just don’t buy it. It’s not like people donated $5 each to charity for the chance to see Fisher in a Manning jersey. It’s not like it was a friendly bet to have to wear the opponent’s jersey in public at the end of the season if your record was worse. His stunt did not raise a dime for Rocketown. His name being on the flier as a special guest and his plea for support for the organization (if there was one) was the extent of the charity work.
