You know when your professional sports franchise is as disfunctional as humanly possible? When the most unhirable person on the staff gets canned and their instantaneous reaction is "whewww, bout fucking time". There's no doubt that Jeff Fisher had to be fired considering he was starting to sound more and more like he needed to be taken out to pasture with each passing day, but don't think for one second he's upset about it. Not when he was discussing Patriots gadget players from 2011 with the media before he got the extension. I don't know that Jeff Fisher self-sabotaged his own career intentionally but I'm not going to pretend it's not a possibility.

And that's where we currently are with the Los Angeles Rams. Jeff Fisher lost his high profile job - which is one of thirty two in the entire world - in sunny Southern California and he almost certainly walked out of the building wearing a smile. Now granted, it's largely his fault that the team looks as hopeless as every relationship ever featured on 'The Real Housewives of Orange County'. That said, it's not his fault that the organization - for all intents and purposes - decided to give him a completely unnecessary severance package that included two years paid vacation. Check the mailbox later this week Jeff, because I would imagine there's going to be a 'Congratulations for literally nothing!' Hallmark card from Charlie Weis waiting for you. In the sense that you couldn't possibly deserve it less, you absolutely deserve it!
