And it's come to this in Tackland...

Motivation or no motivation, they still suck.

I just cant believe this dude had the nerve to wear the jersey of a division rival to exemplify "winning". What was Jeff thinking? Dont understand the move at all. If anything it would piss me off more then motivate me as a player.

Congrats, did you find that out by yourself? I've been saying this since the Jets loss.

So, apparently it's all a total misunderstanding and he did it as a joke to introduce Tony Dungy:

Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher's decision to don an Indianapolis Colts Peyton Manning jersey at a charity function has some Titans fans up in arms.

Fisher wore the jersey Tuesday while appearing at a charity event for Rocketown at Lipscomb University in Nashville with former Colts coach Tony Dungy, among others.

When he introduced Dungy, Fisher took off his jacket and shirt, revealing a Manning Colts jersey underneath, saying, "I just wanted to feel like a winner."

Rocketown is a 40,000-square-foot entertainment complex in Nashville created for teens to gather in a drug- and alcohol-free environment.

The Titans, who were expected to be an AFC playoff contender this season, are a disappointing 0-6. The Colts are 5-0.

The Titans' latest defeat was a 59-0 shellacking at the hands of the New England Patriots.

During his weekly radio show on 103.3-FM in Nashville, Fisher apologized, but made it clear he didn't believe he did anything wrong.

"It was for a very, very worthwhile cause, charity," Fisher said on his show, according to the Tennessean. "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."

Yeah I heard about it being for Dungy. Still doesn't change my opinion, unfortunately. I like Dungy and all, but when you're 0-6, you still don't put on rival team jerseys even as a joke.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Fisher has always wanted to try and feel like a winner...why do you think half the titans are ex-colts

 

[jaxjaggywires]

lol...so, he pretty much says if you felt upset by that, you're wrong and shut up...nice.

It starting to seem that he wants to get out of Tennessee.

Agreed, I don't know too much about the inner workings of the Titans but between this, the VY situation, and rumors about his job...just seems like something isn't right between him and Bud Adams.

I kinda agree with Fisher because it's a joke and all, it's just incredibly poor timing.

Using the same "want to be a winner" line I wonder what the reaction would have been had he wore a VY jersey?

In other news anyone getting upset over this is taking themselves and their fandom entirely too serious.

Agreed. Fisher did it as a joke for a charity event. Fans of the Titans shouldn't be mad at Fisher, but at their team. I really doubt that its Fisher's fault the Titans are 0-6.

 

[Buzzman]

so was Jim Schwartz that importnant for that Titans D?

 

[Esjay]

All I have to say is be careful what you wish for Titans fans. Fisher has been a really good coach for a long, long time. It's not his fault the team is 0-6. I would hesitate to jump the gun and fire a guy with such a good reputation and history, chances are you will not be thrilled with his replacement, either.

 

[jaxjaggywires]

I would love to see Fisher get the hook from Tennessee...specifically because he pisses me off by finding ways to motivate teams that really aren't that good to be successful...

 

[Woy]

so was Jim Schwartz that importnant for that Titans D?

Correct.

 

[Hasselbeck]

If the Titans don't want Fisher I would gladly take Mullet Man in Seattle.

You Tack fans need to lighten up. He appeared at a Charity dinner for a good friend of his. Not like he rocked this jersey mid-game.

News: Washington had one reception Sunday against the Patriots for an incredible, minus 22 yards.
Spin: Washington caught one of the two pass completions by the Titans against the Patriots in a horrendous loss. This was likely to be his worst game of the year

I sure hope so.

 

[Hasselbeck]

I sure hope so.

I feel bad for the 5 people who started the Kerry Collins - Nate Washington cuff in Fantasy last week.
