Delaney: Jeff Fisher got it right

I loved what Jeff Fisher said about Steve McNair. The Tennesee Titans football coach spoke about his former quarterback at a press conference the other day, and offered a side of McNair that has been lost in the strange circumstances surrounding his death. Fisher's comments below were from The Tennessean newspaper. I heard the same words from Fisher on television.

"The Steve McNair that I knew would want me to say I am sorry. I am not perfect. We all make decisions sometimes that are not in the best interest. Please forgive me. The Steve McNair that I knew would want me to say, "Celebrate my life.’’ For what I did on the field and what I did in the community, the kind of teammate that I was, that’s what Steve that I knew would want me to say."

Fisher's words were right on. The circumstances of McNair's death were strange and sad, but there was more to the guy than how he died. The same for Michael Jackson. Jackson made some "interesting" choices as his career went on but he did a lot of good.

We need to remember the entire person.
