Fisher and the Fish

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher still thinks the Titans have a good shot at the NFL Super Bowl.

What does that have to do with a fish?

We’ll get to that in a minute. First let’s talk football. The Titans were dominating last year and then ran into the defensive minded Ravens in the playoffs and just like that the favored Titans were bounced from the playoffs.

Fisher doesn’t care, he feels that Titans have plenty of years to get it done and 2009 is going to be a great year.

Coach Fisher has that look!

What about the fish?

Fifty miles offshore in resplendent Pacific Ocean waters, the Tennessee Titans coach and his sons, Brandon and Trent, were on the prowl for blue marlin when Brandon felt a sudden jolt on his reel. More than a half-hour later, the senior linebacker at the University of Montana was still trying to subdue his prey when the marlin, an estimated 650-pound monster, emerged atop the ocean’s surface and made a furious lunge for the watercraft.

Imagine a pair of Albert Haynesworths in one being, desperately fighting for its life, and think how horrifying that would be to confront.

“I was videotaping the whole thing,” Fisher recalled Thursday afternoon, “and all of a sudden this sucker is up out of the water, tail-walking and coming right at us. It jumped and hit the side of the boat, and then it made two more jumps toward us before diving straight down. Two more feet and that thing would’ve jumped into the boat and killed everybody. We all looked at each other like, ‘Wow, did that just happen?’ ”

The struggle continued for another 45 minutes before the marlin finally succumbed, a victory Fisher will always relish.
