Jeff Fisher said he was "very disappointed" by Vince Young, that Young threw his uniform into the stands after being pulled, and that "we have some issues there." If Childress threw Favre under the bus, then Fisher threw Young under the bus too. Frankly, I think coaches are entitled to throw players under the bus. (Players are certainly paid enough to be responsible for their performance in the postgame coverage. If a QB throws a killer interception, are we really supposed to accept that his feelings are too fragile for the coach to be able to say, Yeah, that late interception really killed us?) So I'm not exactly blaming Fisher. I'm saying that the standards for Fisher vis-a-vis Young are different from the standards for Childress vis-a-vis Favre, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that Young is black and Favre is white. If a black QB acted like the spoiled brat that Favre has taken to impersonating, we'd be howling him off the field. As for the Jets...just lol. They're not as good as I thought they'd be (especially on defense), but they're 8-2, and I stand by my Game 1 prediction: they'll be right there at the end. Oh, and yes, Santonio Holmes was a pretty good pick-up. quote:
ORIGINAL: DomImus Whoever said Fisher threw Vince under the bus must have seen different comments than I read and heard. The comments I saw were fairly benign and totally appropriate.
