Jeff Fisher: What Does He Have To Do Be Named Coach Of The Year?

Tue, 6 Jan 2009 19:38:42 +1600

Some of you may remember me. After Thanksgiving, I was very angry with Jeff Fisher for throwing an unnecessary challenge flag. Since then, I have calmed down, taken a puff from my asthma inhaler, and was at peace until the NFL went and got me all bothered and wheezing again. The AP only gave Fisher three votes in 2008. The head coach of the surprising Tennessee Titans only received three votes for his miraculous season, and no one is batting an eyelash! What does Jeff Fisher have to do? Benching his team's franchise quarterback in favor of a 30-something backup on his way to a 10-0 record doesn't hold any merit? Finishing 13-3 and winning a division previously owned by the Indianapolis Colts wasn't good enough? Two rookie head coaches dominating the voting for one of the league's most prestigious awards has to leave a bad taste in Fisher's mouth. Rookie players aren't named Most Valuable Player. Why should a rookie coach be considered superior to any ...

It's Over(time)!: Why The NFL May Reconsider Its Overtime Rules

Sun, 4 Jan 2009 19:20:53 +1600

When San Diego's Darren Sproles crossed the goal-line to win the AFC Wild Card Game against the Indianapolis Colts in overtime, it got me thinking: Should the NFL adapt college football's brand of overtime? San Diego took the coin toss (and the ball) and drove straight down the field. Peyton Manning and the Colts never got another chance. Now I know there are people that are completely opposed to the way it's done in the college game and would rather keep the status quo. I've even read articles where people would prefer ties and get rid of overtime period. I've also read pieces advocating that the college rules provide more excitement and keep the game going. College football's overtime system, which begins each possession at the opposing 25-yard line, with the first team to have a lead after a pair of possessions declared the winner, is a crock, a bastardization of real football, a victory for the everybody-gets-a-trophy culture that says fans can't be satisfied with a ...

The Bottom Ten

Thu, 1 Jan 2009 01:55:00 +1600

Steve Harvey's NFL rankings from the bottom up. > At least Detroit cornerback Travis Fisher was saved some shoe leather. Fisher said that if the Paper Lions won at Green Bay in their final game, he'd be so overjoyed he wouldn't be "catching the plane back home . . . I'll walk back to Detroit."

Broncos fire coach Mike Shanahan after collapse

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:19:10 +1600

Mike Shanahan, the second longest-tenured NFL coach, was fired by the Denver Broncos on Tuesday after the team lost a three-game lead with three games to go in the AFC West. Shanahan, 56, coached the Broncos since 1995, behind only Tennessee's Jeff Fisher in tenure with one team. He led the Broncos to consecutive Super Bowl victories in 1998 and 1999 and compiled a record of 146-89 with the team.

Titans not worried about shaky finish (AP)

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 10:54:16 +1600

Count the Tennessee Titans among the teams who don't believe momentum can be lost by taking a game off. Jeff Fisher already had the AFC's No. 1 seed locked up, so he rested some key Titans, pulled Kerry Collins after three plays and played every backup in a 23-0 loss to Indianapolis. Tennessee sure didn't look like it had the NFL's best record at 13-3 in a brisk regular-season finale that lasted 2...

Lions have 1 last chance to avoid 0-16 (AP)

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:55:10 +1600

Cornerback Travis Fisher said he won't fly back to Detroit from Green Bay if the Lions somehow manage to find a way to beat the Packers on Sunday. "If we win, I ain't catching the plane back home," he said with a laugh. "I'll walk back to Detroit." Chances are, Fisher won't have to worry about making the 482-mile trek.
