Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

What if Reid Pulled a Fisher?

Jeff Fisher recently 'apologized' for wearing a Peyton Manning jersey to a charity event with former Colts' Head Coach Tony Dungy.  At first, I thought it was funny (especially since he said I just wanted to feel like a winner) but I started to think 'what if Andy Reid did this?'

 

What if Big Red wore a Eli Manning or Romo jersey to a charity event?  I would be pissed to say the least.  I doubt he would ever do such a thing, but thinking about the Fisher joke applied to your home team and its division should bring some much needed perspective.

 

Tell me what you think.

I would love to see Andy try. He won’t make it back alive.

hmm

if he can find a XXXXXL aikman i wouldnt mind .. but romo sucks .. theres a diff between wearing an alltime great and wearing an average qbs jersey .. didnt warren sapp do this before too? but i dont care .. like i said .. fans care more than the players .. u think asante cares about winning? maybe .. maybe a litle .. he plays for himself and for a pay check .. he was all smiles when we lost to arizona .. and my friends were flipping out stop smiling asante .. most players are friends .. if mcnabb wore an ocho cinco jersey i dont mind .. aslong as thats not who their playing than who cares

He JIBTA, is this your twin brother?
I do know this!!!!

d mac is dreadful…. he’s the greg norman of the nfl…. he has a glass psyche…all swagger and no substance…. andy reid is the /worst field marshall in the league… he can’t manage three timeouts….let alone get his team ready to play….on top of that his draft record (mcdougle…. simon… andrews… pinkston… mitchell…. mcnabb…. etc. is horrible… head cases and losers… the fact that he had picked some good players is more dumb luck than anything else)…. vick is a thug and contributes nothing… luire is a complete idiot…. any fool would have gotten rid of reid and mcnabb long ago… he either likes losing or just doesn’t care because the money just keeps rolling in… at least we have the fightn’s….

seriously

u cant tell me that players dont care about winning. yeah they care about their paychecks and stats but show me a member of the lions last year that didnt care about not winning a game.

even better, remember the celebration 2 years ago when the winless miami dolphins beat the ravens?

the vast majority of players care about winning, hands down

If he wore a manning (the mediocre one) or Romo jersey, he would be taking his life into his own hands trying to coach at the Linc again.

I don’t think the fans would take this very well, but then again, I don’t think Reid would be dumb enough to try this.

by doubleh on Oct 21, 2009 7:03 PM EDT reply actions  

any other team i would be pissed unless

it was green bay or something and at farves retirement even though that wont be for like 34 years

i wonder what size he would take…

by WillyC on Oct 21, 2009 7:38 PM EDT reply actions  

Exactly. Do they make a jersey that would fit Big Red?

I’m amused by the Fisher thing…but I can see why Titans fans would be pissed. I was pretty mad at TO when he wore the Irvin jersey after the Cowboys killed us in ’05.

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

if he did that

i would keep sending him philly cheese steaks and pulled pork and so on until he was so obese he couldnt get onto the football field

If this were to happen..

I’d lose respect for Reid, and I have a lot for him.

by xEdgeCamx on Oct 21, 2009 9:18 PM EDT reply actions  

not significant…… probably wont happen

eff you we winning anyway

by eagleswin on Oct 21, 2009 9:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Areed

It’s irrelevant. Sure Andy appreciates the fan base, but you have to acknowledge he isn’t part of the fan base. I figure people would be pissed seeing him in another teams jersey, but he doesn’t care about rivalries the way we do. For him it just involves a higher coaching standard come game day. If that kind of thing pisses you off, you misunderstand the mentailty of people in the NFL.

yea but Peyton is a division rival of the Jags … so Romo, Campbell, Elisha would be our equivalent.

I swear we had a huge argument over the summer when you said Farve is the best QB of all time.

it's a tie in his mind

b/c they both have 3 mvps or something. I’m not really sure, but I think that was why

You are right...
yes

i love peyton manning .. i have said when hes done he will be the best ever hands down numerous times ..util then its brett .. and i dont think unitas has 3 .. im going to check this now

He did say Brett was the best but Peyton will eventually be the best. He said that in my post, hence why i got that quote.

you wouldn't care?

if we were 0-6, and the cowboys were 5-0 and reid sported a Romo jersey while saying he wanted to feel like a winner?

maybe its just me..

if the eagles were 0-6

then with or without the jersey people would be saying fire reid

Who are you guy's kidding

Like it would take Andy Reid to wear a different jersey to call for his head! lol

But seriously, do you blame Jeff? I’m sure Collins and Youngs jersey could be had off the clearance rack, but Mannings, it’s what everybody is wearing!

If Reid pulled a Fisher the whole city would riot and try to burn his house down…

Russell has a quarterback rating on the season that looks like Albert Pujols batting average

Not a good comparison. Pujols = 327, Russel = 51

Reid pulls "Fishers" all the time

If “Fishers” are games that you should win, but somehow lose.
