The day after his team lost to New England 59-0 two weeks ago, Jeff Fisher surprised a Tennessee audience by wearing a Colts jersey to a Tony Dungy charity event in Nashville. Fisher punctuated the appearance by saying, “I just wanted to feel like a winner.”
(If I was Dungy, I would’ve covered for Fisher. Bad form.)
Yea, it was probably a stupid move by Fisher, but at least he was raising money for charity. Right Tony?
Wrong.
“I wouldn’t have done it if we were 10-0,” Dungy said on NBC’s Football Night in America, “but that’s me.”
Dungy, while acknowledging that it was a joke, said it probably occurred too soon after the blowout loss. “From a players’ perspective in the locker room, you just got your butt kicked 59-0,” he said. “It’s just bad timing.”
That’s some serious truth-telling there. I have to hand it to Dungy for his audience, especially considering that Fisher was there for his charity.
But maybe Dungy was disconcerted about the undue attention Fisher’s selection of activewear received. Upset that perhaps Fisher took away some of his spotlight?
Just a theory. More likely Dungy, like most of it, thought it was just plain bad form. A severe misjudgement by Fisher. And based on his team’s performance this season, that surprises no one.

Some people take sports way to seriously.

Exactly ugh.

Tony Dungy seems to have an opinion on just about everything.
5:19 pm on October 26th, 2009
boy Tony, your loyalty is admirable
6:15 pm on October 26th, 2009
Tony has a God complex. He’s smarter and better than all of us.

Fisher is a white guy without any felony convictions. So you know Dungy isn’t going to help him.

Tony Dungy is the most annoying person in the NFL. Why is it that whenever anyone talks about how he’s the greatest human in the universe they always conveniently ignore that he hates gays?
10:34 pm on October 26th, 2009
I don’t recall Dungy saying he hates gays, but if Booby Jones says it, it must be true.

Ok he doesnt hate gays, he just campaigned for them to not be allowed to marry and he also campaigned to stop a stem cell research bill.
So he “dislikes” gays and the handicapped.

I’ll bet Dungy MADE him wear that jersey. Otherwise, none of us would have heard about his charity or this charity event.
Of course, being on NBC, Dungy knew he was going to be asked about it the following week. Of course Tony also wouldn’t have done it at 10-0, because they would have lost and they would call it a jinx.

Im a huge Colts fan, 6-0 ,QB rocket lazer arm, anyway I’m so sick of Dungy already you retired to spend more time with family so shut the F up and go visit them.

Tony Dungy is first class and it was the worst decision the BUCS ever made to get rid of him. and he has an opinion of everything because people ASK HIM what his opinion is…
