Alright. That’s your take.

I take no moral high ground when it comes to professional sports. I don’t see people who dope as violating any moral code. Their achievements are just as inspirational to me.

And I stand by what I said about taking your job seriously. If you’re in the NFL and you aren’t on something, good luck. You must not take it seriously, cause you’re not gonna have a job very long and you’re gonna get steamrolled by every other MF who is.

>To understand the racist incident involving CBS Sports analyst Billy Packer on Saturday night, don't stop at Packer's reference to Georgetown guard Allen Iverson, who is black, as "a tough monkey." That was bad enough, but virtually everything that happened after the nationally televised slur revealed the chronic nature of the disease.

>Listen to Packer -- who at first seemingly apologized for the remark -- as he subsequently explains why he shouldn't have to apologize:

>"I don't know why people are sensitive about something that to me, in my way of thinking, has absolutely nothing to do with race," Packer said
