LeSean McCoy claims he can't play alongside Cooper any more. Mike Vick of all people is making the most sense in that situation...never thought I'd agree with him on anything.

How much do you want to bet that word gets used 100 times every day in that locker room...but of course, only by certain players. If we're going to ruin Cooper and Paula Deen, we need to line the news trucks up at Chris Rock and Al Sharpton's houses too. Punishing the offenders won't help race relations while maintaining the double-standard. If white people are going to be tarred and feathered for the word, lets stop using it completely. All of us.



Anyway, Eagles going 3-13 this year...calling it.

Deion Sanders had some comments about Riley Cooper on the NFL Network this weekend that I agree with 100%. He said black people use the N word all the time when they talk to each other and call each other that word. They also use it in their songs, but the second some other race uses it, its like Watch Out!!! Then he said, "Who is racist?" Yep, that's what I'm asking. We live in a waaaay tooo politically correct world. Yes, we should all be sensitive to the things we say, but people need to grow thicker skins as well. Deion also ask the question "How many of us would want a camera on in our homes all the time for the stuff we say?"
