    What did Matt Millen say?

    Does anybody have a clue what Matt Millen said about Ron Jaworski that he had to apologize on national TV during Day 3 of the live draft broadcast? I wasn't watching when it happened but sat down to eat lunch and he was apologizing. It was sandwiched in between a set of commercials.

      Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

          He means the slur for polish people.

          Its equates to calling a black person the N word.

            I grew up and live in Buffalo...I am more than aware...and was trying to make a joke since it's spelled 'polack'.

              I would not put it anywhere near the catagory of using the n word. I'm 1/4 polish and the word does not bother me at all. Political correctness run amuck.

                I knew I spelled it wrong. I also knew you knew what I meant.

                  I know...it just sounded like a good joke in my head.

                  And you are correct. I know plenty of Polish people (at least in Buffalo) who have never had a problem with the word.

                    Whether it bothers you personally or not is not the point.

                    The word is a slur, when we begin to weigh what slur is worse than others is when we begin to run into the PC issue that you mention above.

                        I'm not going to turn this into a spinzone thread. I'll just agree to disagree

                          I hate being called "white" yet many people get away with using that word.

                            Agreed, you are free to your opinion just as I am to mine.

                            This is a weekend to celebrate anyways, its the dawning of a new era in Buffalo Bills football.
