Peyton Manning has a new biggest fan

[TrueOrange]

Considering Dungy was there, Fisher should've wore a Tom Brady jersey or maybe even an authentic Bill Belichick hoodie with the sleeves cutoff. That way he could make his winner joke and make it a slight job at Dungy as well as himself.

....that would make jeff a bit of a douchebag though too wouldnt it?

I wonder what Jerry would do if Wade Phillips showed up at a charity function wearing an Eagles jersey.

Pretty sure Jerry and the fans have pretty much hated Fat Wade for the last few years is a pretty big difference

Yeah... but it'd be funny.

I guess ESPN should grow up also. They have mentioned this incident several times today.

Funny. Considering Mike and Mike had Mort on this morning and they all agreed it was a non-issue and anyone offended need to....wait for it...wait...

Grow up.

Manning plays in the same division, on a team that beats Fisher's Titans out for the division championship every year. Would Andy Reid wear an Eli Manning jersey onstage in Philadelphia to make a guest feel welcome?

It's harmless pandering, but it's pandering. I'd be annoyed if I were a Titans player.

pretty much feel the same way. my heart still says this should be a non-issue though.

When your team is winless, you should know that every little thing will be put under a microscope. If the Titans were 6-0 this season, this event wouldn't have even been mentioned.

disagree, this would have still raised a few eyebrows regardless of the record

Can I get a quick refresher on what he said about UT?

i'm curious about this also.

I guess Keith Bulluck needs to grow up too.

Not really. The point is that a coach showed up at a charity event wearing a rival team's jersey. If that happened in Dallas, I don't care if the coach is Wade Phillips, Jimmy Johnson, Tom Landry, or Jesus Christ, I'd be willing to bet Jerry would fire his :shaking2: that same day.

- PM went to UT and that's why Fisher used his jersey
- Fisher and the Titans said some pretty crappy things about UT football when they came to TN

If I had been PM I would have told him to take it off and show respect for the best team in the state before donning my jersey again. Fisher is just looking for anything to keep him in place after the masterful job he's doing this season

Bump, because this never got answered and I was hoping it would. Anybody know?

going off memory but it was something about not competing with UT for fans because they are in the NFL and play real football. Then EG stating proudly he voted for Woodson

I asked the same question this is what utvolpj said.
