That's not Perry Fewell!

Did anyone else think that DeMontie Cross (Assistant Linebackers Coach/Special Teams) was Perry Fewell?

Nope, I have known who Perry Fewell was...

Is this some type of attempt at humor stereotyping african americans that is going over my head?

 

Hopefully he is referring to some local news clips from earlier in the season where thye spoke about Perry Fewell but showed video footage of Demontie Cross. I do remember thinking that they were not showing Fewell in their footage.

No. For the last 3 and a half seasons whenever the broadcast teams talked about Fewell they would always show DeMontie Cross so when I watch tonites presser I was thinking "Who the hell is this guy?"

Two things:

 

1) I don't select the photos. That work is done in Bristol, and when I'm done with a story, it can be hours before I look at it again.

 

2) The wire service is the entity that identified the person in that photo as Perry Fewell. Our editors enter search terms into a photo library, and computer searches the captions attached by the wire services. The editor trusted the caption.
