At the Risk of Piling On...

...It is nonetheless worth a look at how the press elsewhere covered Sunday's titanic collapse up in New England. The Boston Globe leads off with this arresting sports home page.*

Boston's other paper, the Herald, tagged it the "Bash of the Titans." NBC's ProFootballTalk.com framed it this way:
"The Tennessee Titans had been called the best 0-2 team in league history. And the best 0-3 team in league history. And the best 0-4 team in league history. And the best 0-5 team in league history. They're now simply a crappy 0-6 team."
Blogger Jeff Sack at NFL Gridiron Gab sums it up in a sentence: "This was not a football game, it was a mugging as the New England Patriots stole the pride, dignity and most likely lunch money of the hapless Tennessee Titans."

How thin is the ice upon which Jeff Fisher skates? Discuss.

Update: Fisher at his news conference this afternoon: "I'm gonna get this football team better this week."

(*What the Globe online sports page looked like this morning; has since changed.)
