Jeff Fisher Apologizes for Insensitive Charity Work

Jeff Fisher has been made to apologize. The most tenured head coach in the NFL told an insensitive joke. What was the joke, you ask? Did he tell a 15-minute version of “The Aristocrats” in a room full of kids in wheelchairs? Close. Fisher wore a Peyton Manning jersey to a charity event where he quipped, “I just wanted to feel like a winner,” a reference to his teams 0-6 start this season. The crowd politely howled in approval, but in reality we all know that there is nothing funny about football. Right Frank Caliendo?

If there were why would Jeff Fisher have to apologize for what might be the most self-deprecating joke not in a Woody Allen movie:

“This is a very worthwhile and needy benefit and I was honored to be there. …I’m sorry if I offended anybody, but if I had to do it again, I would do it again.”

And that’s about as good of an apology as you’re going to get from someone who shouldn’t have to apologize.
