Fisher unfazed but Cowher irked by Terrible Towel stomp
Long after
Tennessee dismantled
Pittsburgh to clinch the top seed in the AFC, Titans coach Jeff Fisher finally saw the tape of players
LenDale White and
Keith Bulluck stomping on the Steelers' signature symbol, the Terrible Towel.

"I don't care, I don't care. ... That's just our stand," Bulluck said. "Anybody that's going to come through here in the playoffs, we plan to stomp them out."
Amazing: if you do it, there is no problem:
"Why would it be a big deal? That if we play [the Steelers] again, they'll play harder? I don't think so," Fisher told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. "They always play hard."
If they do it, there is total disrespect: "That looks like a pregame talk the night before to me," Cowher said, his eyes lighting up and his voice rising. "If [we'd] meet in the postseason, I know what I'm pulling out the night before the game."
Cowher admonished White by saying, "You've got to learn. ... I wouldn't do this, I wouldn't go there," and said Bulluck should know better because "you are a veteran, Bulluck."
Cowher's implied message to the Titans: There's a way to win in the NFL and that wasn't it, and you might regret the sideshow should the Steelers return to Nashville for the AFC Championship Game in four weeks.
