Yesterday Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher introduced Tony Dungy at an event in Nashville, and pulled a chuckle out of the audience by removing his shirt and tie to reveal that he was wearing a Peyton Manning jersey (2:24 mark of the video for the impatient). He then delivered the zinger by saying he just “wanted to feel like a winner.”
Ha ha ha ha. Aha ha ha ha.
Enough with the loser talk okay? This would be funny if both Fisher and Dungy were retired, but given that Fisher is at the helm of a soon to be 0-7 team, I don’t think this did anything to sooth things over with the Titans front office.
Now what I haven’t addressed yet was the ass whoopin’ that the Pats laid on the Titans this weekend. I mean it was so bad, that people weren’t even concerned with making accusations that the Pats were running it up. The consensus was that the Titans just mailed it in, just the way that Arizona did last year when traveling to Gillette.
Then there are those like Keyshawn Johnson who want to claim that it’s the snow and the cold, because Tennessee players aren’t used to playing in it.
Hogwash!
If I was being paid to do the research, I’d bet you that over 70% of NFL players hail from warm weather states. While some of those players might “work” for cold weather teams such as Green Bay and New England, in the off-season they return to the warm weather states that they hail from.
On top of that, these “cold weather” teams practice inside domes during the shitty weather, and the entire NFL travels 50% of the season. So they all have plenty of chances to pick up “cold weather” playing time.
So what’s my point? The Titans suck, plain and simple. If snow was enough to get teams to quit, Bob Kraft would have snow machines running 24/7 inside the stadium from September 1st through the playoffs.
