    Hardly a slur but a reference that went over the heads of most viewers

    'Guinea' isn't a slur? It certainly had that connotation when my father was using it.

    And what is the reference? Jersey Shore?

    Considering that it's the Boston sports market and recent developments with the Celtics, I went in expecting much worse.

    Guess she should just go back to the more encompassing: "Wife beater"

    If you're going to apologize, that's the best way. Don't explain, don't rationalize, don't minimize.

    Just say, "I fucked up," and drop it right there.

    If you don't do it again, you'll be all right. If you do, well, you're fucked.

    Ahh the good old days of Philadelphia media booty. You had Kacie dating any jock who stumbled into town and Sheena Parveen hooking up with Scott Hartnell.

    I love how people call for a firing.
