Titans coach Jeff Fisher's attempt at humor by donning Peyton Manning's No. 18 jersey at a charity fundraiser isn't being received well by fans upset over Tennessee's 0-6 start to the season.

But the coach isn't backing down after his Tuesday appearance at the Rally for Rocketown in Nashville, where Fisher jokingly said, "I just wanted to feel like a winner," after revealing the Indianapolis Colts quarterback's jersey underneath his button-down shirt and jacket.
Fisher said Wednesday that he wanted to bring some levity to his introduction of former Colts coach Tony Dungy at a fundraiser for a Christian teen center. And he'd do it again.
"If anybody was offended by it, I can't help that," Fisher said. "I'm not going to walk around here 0-6 with my tail between my legs. That's just not my nature. It's OK to have a sense of humor and have fun. That's what I did."
The Titans, who are AFC South rivals with the Colts, are coming off a 59-0 rout by the New England Patriots, matching the biggest NFL loss since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 (the then-Los Angeles Rams defeated the Atlanta Falcons 59-0 on Dec. 4, 1976).
Manning said it would be ridiculous for Fisher to catch any heat for trying to have fun with a speech.
