An 0-6 start has turned Jeff Fisher to the dark side.

The Titans coach had a surprise for former Colts coach Tony Dungy when he introduced Dungy as the keynote speaker at a charity rally Tuesday: Fisher was wearing a Peyton Manning jersey. And the Nashville Tennessean has the slideshow to prove it.

"I just wanted to feel like a winner," Fisher joked to the crowd, which greeted him with a standing ovation.

The rally was to raise money for a faith-based non-profit youth organization called Rocketown.

UPDATE: For the record, we think it's great Fisher can laugh at himself. It's sports. And a charity event. That attitude might even help turn things around when they aren't going well.

Some comments in MCM blog. Fans are not happy with this i guess, sad...

I think its funny.

Besides, does anyone here remember all of the smack the Titans’ fans were talking this time last year?

And now they go and lose to the Pats 59-0. Its so sad, I would feel badly trashing their team right now. And it pisses me off. I wanted to to talk some trash, dammit.

I wonder if he cleared this with Bud Adams first? Interesting.

Trash talk

Fisher is probably vying for a spot on the Colts coaching staff

that would be pretty sweet

Mixed feelings

I like that he doesn’t take himself too seriously, and one writer made the point that football is a game and this was for charity. But I lost a bit of respect for Fisher for pulling this and not sticking with his team – why not a McNair jersey?

How can you not love a team that does this?

I kinda feel that

every coach in the league probably secretly wears a Colt’s jersey when they’re home working in the yard, etc.

I'm sure he

probably wants to feel like a winner too (without cheating). So, my best is, he has one.

I think...

We should all get together and make sure every coach in the NFL has their Peyton Manning #18 Jersey. We’ll send them out in a plain brown wrapper with a card that say “So you can feel like a winner too!!”

Good thinking,

I’d pay to see Jack Del Rio wearing one!

Idk about that

I think that would be an insult to Peyton…

The way our defense is set up, it puts me in situations where I'm one-on-one in making tackles on running backs. When I go into it, I think I am going to win. It really doesn't matter the size, height, weight, whatever. I'm not afraid of putting my body in there." - Bob Sanders

No insult-he's secretly in love with big P.

There's not a coach in this league...

that wouldn’t trade places with Coach Cadwell or have Peyton Manning trade places with their present QB (except for The Hoodie, of course)! At least they could have a jersey to help them with their wet dreams!

This is so over blown. You can tell this has been a slow news week. Let’s get back to football and let’s get back to the Colts. Who cares about Jeff Fisher? Who cares about the Titans?
