Wasn't there a movie about a guy who just unwittingly tells the truth in all circumstances, regardless of consequences?
If Fitz was THAT GUY, he would lead his press conference with these opening remarks:
"Hey look, lets not kid ourselves here, I'm a career journeyman who had a career year last year, everything broke right including the weather, it was just one of those fluke things that happens once in a lifetime, my 15 minutes of fame so to speak, but anyone who expected a repeat performance in 2016, including me, was friggin' delusional. Okay, any questions?"
