You have GOT to be kidding me. The coach lets you into the world of the athlete with an unfiltered comment and UP GO THE ARMS of protest.

Lighten up, people. It's a context, not a moral commentary. It's basketball, not the Supreme Court.

I think Phil realizes the true players that the NBA had until your older players retired MAGIC*DRJ*BIRD*ISIAH*JORDAN*RUSSELL*WILT,ROBERTSON just to name a few.When winning was important not shoe sales and contracts.Why do you think that the NFL rules.Teach new school the
fundamentals of the game.

Do you really think any real NBA fans took offense to this comment??????? Ithought it was funny,and so did the reporters who heard it live!!!!!!!! And I am not a Jackson fan!!!!! Most overrated coach in history!!!!!!!!!

His apology was WAY better. Especially when he apologized to the horses that he may have offended.

Classic! Anyone that has a problem with his comment is truly BROKE BACK.

Phil got a free pass on this one

Goodness! They found something to talk about other that Kobe...

I also liked the way he thanked ESPN for making a big issue out of it. ESPN ain't what it used to be Phil. It's 1/2 sports and 1/2 TMZ.

You really got to hear Phil do his poem about the "Man from Nantucket"....

He's boffo!

Yo Phil that was effin funny as hell! LOL

"I deserve to be reprimanded by the NBA. If I've offended any horses, Texans, cowboys or ****, I apologize." Phil Jackson is crazy as hell! Hilarious!

People just need to lighten up. The comment wasn't insulting in any way...ESPN is ridiculous and so are the morons who feel they were offended.

Hmmm... I wonder if John Amaechi was the offended party.

I have a new favorite NBA coach

who cares ... he made a reference to a movie. he didn't say anything that merits a story about it. let it go. geez.

What Phil wanted to say was "I went from coaching the Lakers to coaching a bunch of ****!"
That doesn't offend me.

You can't say f*u*d*g*e packers?

Larry B,
It's the mountain you meet when you hit the Hershey way. C*o*n*d*o*m*s are optional.

I thought this was funny. It's time we stop being so politically correct and taking offense to everything said.

Man this was hilarious, but it makes no sense that he cant say that but comedians can
