Who’s Sorry Now? (Martellus Bennett Rap Fail Edition)

The Cowboys' Martellus Bennett is sorry for that earlier rap, when he rhymed "Romo" with "homo." Precisely $22,000 worth of sorry. So he'd like to make it up to you with ... another rap.

Good thing this followup came along when it did; I had no idea that the whole thing was the media's fault. The original was, apparently, "just a song." That clears that up.

The Cowboys fined Bennett 22 grand for his first little ditty, making it the first YouTube rap song to lose money, I believe.

It's also important to note that the best results in hip-hop are achieved when you whisper the lyrics.
