    I think this guy will be out of the league. If he tries to continue to play he better have a great insurance policy. There are more African American db's in the league than was at the Chesney concert when he chose to pop off with a racial slur. Its dangerous crossing the middle!!

    In a related story it is a proven fact that anyone using the term "bro" in a conversation is a tool(unless it's on an internet forum). Just sayin...

    Convenient how the media forgot all those racial tweets and comments the black NFL players made after the Zimmerman verdict.

    Nah, the media and feel gooders do what they can, but everyone knows most have that bug in them. He just picked the wrong time to say it. Vick has already ran to his defense (Michael, not Marcus), as well as a few others. He will be fined, and back at practice today. NFL players are given the longest of leashes since their livelihood is made playing with rage.

    It's a terrible thing to say but all news outlets have and will turn it into something more than it is. Did you hear about the tweets Marcus Vick sent out? Putting a $1000 bounty on Cooper for any black DB that takes him out?

    I agree with all but he may get a couple of games suspension. This will be a good test of the "long leash" policy of the NFL shield. I just think, it will be hard on him when and if he returns with at least one bounty on him. Also, what should be done to Marcus for the offer, I remember what happened to the Saints staff.

    Marcus isn't in the league. He had more skills than Michael when he was at VA Tech, but chose to be a thug instead. So, nothing will happen to him.

    Just sayin, he also responded on Zimmerman. He is only fueling the fire.

    Oh yeah, I wasn't saying he is innocent...just that nothing will happen to him.

    Only a team imposed fine. League and team cannot both penalize for same offense, according to Roger G.

    I dont even get why its such a big deal for the team to impose a fine, people get caught up in a "word" so much its retarded. The guy should of apologized and that should of been the end of it, or not apologized because he was afraid of the medias reaction to what he said.
