Haha, no. I'm not going to share contracts.
As a fan, I totally get the frustration of commercials. Professionally though, well they are necessary and working with production teams, leagues, and advertisers to fulfill commercial obligations...that's no easy task, let me tell you.
Still, I really don't know what Jeff Fisher is talking about (though he never actually said ESPN) because there are league officials down there with him and the networks don't tell teams to call time-outs.
He never really called anyone out. He just said, "they."
"Jack used his timeouts,” Fisher said. “My understanding is they needed network timeouts, and that's why Jack used his timeouts. They came over and asked me to do it, but I said, 'I was hoping to get a first down and kneel on it.'
“At the end of the game like that, you don't kick a long field goal, you don't, you hand it off.”
Fisher said he had no issues with Del Rio's handling of the matter, and said Del Rio should not have any issues with the Titans continuing to call plays.
“You can check with Jack. It didn't bother me at all. I believe that they asked them to use them. It's the first time I've heard of it,” Fisher said. “I just said I would have a hard time using them, because I'm ahead. Honestly, I have no issues with Jack or how he managed the end of that game. It's just what it was, and I don't think he would have an issue with me handing the ball off.”
