It had to be another internet hoax, more of that “fake news” that’s been going around. Someone spread a nasty rumor about Jeff Fisher not knowing the players on the next team he plays. Those quotes about “Danny” and “Brandon” were made up. Satire. Parody. The Onion bamboozling a nation of partisan suckers full of confirmation bias.
Right?
Wrong. That actually happened on Fisher’s conference call to New England reporters leading up to Sunday’s Rams-Patriots game. And it happened days after Fisher got into the most pointless feud a coach of a 4-7 team could possible engage in, the Eric Dickerson flap.
