Winning sense of humour

Titans coach Jeff Fisher’s attempt at levity and a bit of humour by donning Peyton Manning’s No. 18 jersey at a charity fundraiser isn’t being received well by fans upset over Tennessee’s 0-6 start. The coach isn’t backing down. Fisher said Wednesday he wanted to bring some levity to his introduction of former Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy at a fundraiser for a Christian teen centre. Fisher says he thinks it went over well and can’t help if anyone was offended. And he’d do it again.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher’s attempt at levity and a bit of humour by donning Peyton Manning’s No. 18 jersey at a charity fundraiser isn’t being received well by fans upset over Tennessee’s 0-6 start. The coach isn’t backing down. Fisher said Wednesday he wanted to bring some levity to his introduction of former Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy at a fundraiser for a Christian teen centre. Fisher says he thinks it went over well and can’t help if anyone was offended. And he’d do it again. The Titans are coming off a 59-0 rout by New England that matched the biggest NFL loss since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. Manning says it would be ridiculous for Fisher to catch any heat for trying to have fun with a speech.
