    He should have used a more acceptable term like "monkeybutts" or "dorkweasels" or even "boogermouths."

    When the hell did Mike Florio start posting on Deadspin? #larryjohnson

    I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said.

    This is similar to the apology I had to issue at work when I criticized the work of Jacques Derrida. I said Of Grammatology was the work of a hack and he was not fit to walk in Michel Foucault's shadow. #larryjohnson

    All apologies should be written in the same tone as the original statement.

    Riiiiiiight. Because I'm sure the use of offensively homophobic language is also dealt with posthaste in locker rooms and cafeterias and practice fields and anywhere else that's not a public forum. #larryjohnson

    @WolframFantazmic: I felt like mentioning how obvious it was that he was joking and people were taking this way too seriously (you should have read some of the unapproved comments, yeesh) but it wasn't worth the argument. Does anyone here REALLY think he was hooking up with 14 year old girls? My god.

    @thetaxman: -So, that would have been the November 12th, 1984 game, eventually won by the Seahawks, 17-14. Collinsworth would have been 25.
    (Just to help you figure out exactly how much of a scuzzball he was being going after 14 year olds.)

    -I guess Al Michaels grand-daughter won't be visiting The Football Night in America booth anytime soon.

    -Wow interviewed by a BLONDE chick named TERRE?????? Can she spell or is she just stupid????? I would like to see the video of what happened after she left with Collinsworth! Talk is cheap, so put up or shut up!

    Its nothing anyone should have to see.

    @Chris Hanson's Axe: Probably not, but can you imagine anyone even attempting a joke like that today? Much less seeing it aired on primetime TV?

    Joke or no joke, there's no question that if 2009 Cris C. had said that, he would not be calling tonight's game.

    @Chris Hanson's Axe: I love it when people insult other people by making fun of the way their names are spelled. That is not a valid criticism of a person, though it does reflect badly on that person's parents.

    That's the thing about false contrition - we keep getting older, but the hackneyed apologies stay the same age.
