Mike, I appoint you the expert on all things alcohol. You obviously are plenty experienced.  I plead the fifth on anything I may or may not have done or said over the years but I willingly accept your appointment with regards to Riley Cooper.  |

Very familiar with the area....been going to Clearwater area for number of years during spring break. Riley went to Clearwater Central Catholic HS, a small private school. If it is the school I am thinking of it is a very nice campus, just a couple of blocks from the Bay itself off US 19. Never realized he was from around the Bay Area. |

Never realized he was from around the Bay Area. Nice campus as I remember. We went there several years ago, when my boys were still in high school, for either a soccer game or a football game. Honestly cannot remember, but do remember the facilities and they were pretty nice. |

fwiw the eagle players have not accepted his apology. michael vick has. big difference there. one of the wr's (can't remember his name) said he was personally affected by the comments and that it was 'going to take time'. the philly roster is 80% african american... and I wouldn't discount the possibility of some lingering resentment. if you've seen the video, this is not paula dean saying the n word 30 years ago. mark scott tosu 81 the raiders could do that , back in the day. fwiw I think that's tougher to pull off today, again because w/24 hr sports networks and all the social media, there's so much more in terms of rumors and pissing contests that can affect team chemistry. mark scott tosu 81 |

Riley, the situation will never go away or be righted in your lifetime. The media and other people of bias will never truly forgive you or let this go:
Riley Cooper excused from team activities to attend counseling:
The Associated Press
Published: Friday, August 2, 2013 at 12:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 2, 2013 at 12:41 p.m.
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles excused Riley Cooper from all team activities on Friday after the wide receiver was caught on video making a racial slur.
Cooper said the last few days have been incredibly difficult and he will step away to seek counseling.
“My actions were inexcusable,” he said. “The more I think about what I did, the more disgusted I get. I keep trying to figure out how I could have said something so repulsive, and what I can do to make things better.”
Cooper apologized profusely Wednesday after a video of him using the N-word at a Kenny Chesney concert last month surfaced on the Internet. The Eagles immediately fined him.
“Right now, I think it’s important for me to take some time to reflect on this situation,” Cooper said. “The organization and my teammates have been extremely supportive, but I also realize that there are people who will have a tough time forgiving me for what I’ve done. The best thing for me, and for the team, is to step away for a period of time.”
The Eagles did not set a timetable for Cooper’s return.
“He will meet with professionals provided by the Eagles during this period of time to better help him understand how his words have hurt so many, including his teammates,” the team said in a statement.
Cooper spoke to the media again after practice Thursday, telling them his meeting with teammates a night earlier was “extremely emotional.” Teammates Michael Vick, Jason Avant and others expressed forgiveness for Cooper. LeSean McCoy also said he forgives Cooper, but “I can’t really respect somebody like that.”
Cooper, who grew up in Clearwater, Fla., was selected in the fifth round of the 2010 draft by the Eagles out of the University of Florida. He has just 46 catches and five touchdowns in three years with the Eagles, but has been practicing with the starters since Jeremy Maclin’s season-ending injury last week.
“As long as it takes, and whatever I have to do, I’m going to try to make this right,” Cooper said.

Yep, they do get a lot of Yankees there that time of the year. Actually I am shocked it took that long to get a response. I figured something like that would travel through the ether and set up an alarm in your head. |

The players will sort it out one way or the other...no doubt some will have lingering resentment but at the end of the day you don't have to like your teammates, you just have to work with them on the field. I'm not making light of the situation, just saying it's an internal matter and that is where it should stay. the raiders could do that , back in the day. fwiw I think that's tougher to pull off today, again because w/24 hr sports networks and all the social media, there's so much more in terms of rumors and pissing contests that can affect team chemistry. mark scott tosu 81 |
