 Fishman gained notoriety and is most known for his actions in the 1964 game against the Naval Academy, an intense in-state rival.Rough play marked the game, and Fishman responded on two occasions with an extended middle-finger to taunts from the stands, some of which Maryland receiver Darryl Hill described as anti-Semitic.Afterward, with respect to his rough play, Navy head coach Wayne Hardin called Fishman, "a disgrace to the game."
