I've been called worse, and you don't hear me complaining.

Maybe these folks should spend their time in volunteering at an Indian reservation instead of spending it protesting. Then they might have more credibility.

These news producers at ESPN have turned into a bunch of namby pambys.

Tune in tomorrow and I'll tell how I really feel about it.

I love you, Gene! This old lady is getting really tired of "political correctness..." Have you seen the rather long missile going around about how many teams, etc. would need to change their names if we carry through with this all the way?

My favorite response was a cartoon showing how Washington could keep its Redskin name -- stick a red-skinned potato on the helmet instead of the warrior's profile.

I am now putting on my Redskins helmet to protect me from the arrows that are going to be shot at me for bad-mouthing political correctness.
