He actually persuaded them to reverse a crucial call (I do not remember the call, so don't ask) without going to instant replay. How many times have we seen a football/baseball/basketball coach/manager chewot an ump/ref, and either get ejected or just walk off in a huff without getting any satisfaction except for the satisfaction of speaking his mind?
n top of that, I was sure that whatever the call was, Fischer himself was wrong. Anyway, I disliked what happened that day, but I figured wither the refs hate the Rams, Fischer is one persuasive cookie, or both.
I wuldn't mind having hm on the sidelines.

It was a spot on a failed fourth down play. The officials ran the chains out a second time, and low-and-behold, it's then a first down.
And don't forget the roughing the kicker on the last play of the game that would have given us the ability to tie or win the game. Had that flag not been picked up, someone else would have had to retry, or we'd have had to go for a TD.
