See, whether you like Jeff Fisher or not, he has a very valid point here.

For years, I'd enjoyed success outside the power structure of a fraternity which I'd belonged and loved, well for the most part...

Whenever there was a formal event hosted by the Baton Rouge clique, they almost always misspelled my last name...

When I confronted the head of this clique one day about it as it bothered my Dad, who was a extremely humble, giving man...

This unredeeming, machiavellian jerk confirmed it was his way of keeping me in-check and reminding me of my place...

If there's a sincere effort to reach across, mend fences, then a careful effort would be made to show respect and spell the man's name correctly...

Fisher may in fact be a jerk, but make no mistake, Vince Young is still a punk who failed because of his own personality flaws...
