Come on people. He's been fined? Really? Michael Wilbon said Roger Goodell NEEDS to suspend him from regular season games for this. Tony Kornheiser agreed. Cooper apologized profusely - much more than I thought was necessary. Michael Vick immediately forgave him.

I don't know. Sure he said a bad thing. But that's all it was. The video of him saying it is just a couple seconds long, and yet so many seem ready to crucify him over it.

Is the problem that it's July and there's nothing else worthy of the news that we're just making up controversy now?
