This is not a racial comment, guys.
Hate Olbermann all you want (as I do) but he just came up with the name because the return man’s name was ROSCOE PARRISH.
Now, I guess he could have made a joke about a gun (roscoe is a nickname for that in hip hop or was...) but this one was really harmless.
Wrong is wrong. Don’t bash Olbermann over this.
In a later commentary he had to apologize for those comments, saying that was former Giants Coach Jim Fossel.
That's a typically sloppy and mean spirited attach NOT based on fact, perfectly in tune with his daily cable show. I hope he catches hell for it....from NBC, from Coughlin, and from everyone else.
