There are two kinds of "I'm sorry." The kind where you feel bad for the other person, and the kind where you take personal responsibility for what went wrong. The first kind of "I'm sorry" is easy. You say it at funerals, "I'm so sorry you lost your mom." You might even say it during an argument, "I'm sorry you feel that way.
Sure, their sluggish offense still is ranked 29th in the league, but at least the Jets can claim this much. They are leading the NFL in apologies this week. After an incident Friday afternoon in which cornerback Darrelle Revis' contentious phone interview with WFAN host Mike Francesa abruptly was terminated by Revis and the Jets, the team released a statement from director of media relations Jared Winley, the one who advised Revis to hang up. This came two days after coach Rex Ryan said he would have a "couple of rings" had he been hired by San Diego instead of current Chargers coach Norv Turner. Ryan subsequently apologized to Turner.

Growing up Latino in a world where the cultural, political and economic structures are dominated by Anglos is very difficult. Those Latinos who have "crossed-over" and have seemingly "made it" or "are making it" in the "Anglo world have thought that they needed to "play the game" or, at least "some games" in order to achieve acceptance from employers, supervisors, and Anglo "friends. This unique situation has resulted in many "professional" Latinos (that sounds funny doesn't it?) sometimes feeling like they need to explain the behavior of "those other Latinos who don't exhibit correct manners" to the Anglos around them. ¡Por favor! I ask you, why all the apologies? Was it because their editors and publishers "shamed them" in the newsrooms by saying things like, "Your people really have...
Stop apologizing Recently, at a conference in New York City, Mayor Bloomberg, in support of building a mosque near ground zero, rose to speak in reminding the audience that American Muslims also died on 9/11.
IOWA CITY - Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said he has no regrets about slamming a chair during an outburst during Tuesday's blowout loss at Michigan State. McCaffery told reporters Thursday he had no apologies for the tirade, which started after he was whistled for a technical foul while Iowa was losing, 69-41. Berating his players during the break, McCaffery picked up an empty folding chair and slammed it on the court.
He committed two serious offenses in casually and recklessly using the word. Though he didn't call Obama the word, by knocking him ("cut off his n...ts") and tossing in the word to describe Blacks who Obama allegedly offended, Obama by inference became an N... too. [Jesse Jackson]'s bigger offense was his tar of Blacks with the word. If a white celebrity, personality or politician slandered and disrespected Blacks with the word, guess who would be the first person to charge the barricades demanding their head and then that they banned in Boston for perpetuity. The chances are pretty good that Jackson would have gotten their head and the ban. But in this case, the famed personality that offended with the word is not a white notable but Jackson. So what should we do about him? He's alread...
