What bull****. What did he "gain" or "learn" in in 3 days. I a sure he will be welcomed back by every black defensive player he goes against.

What would you say is the time period for a proper learning?

I would say the average person learned something the minute their face was splashed across the national news labeled as a racist.


If I were a teammate and were offended, I would have to let a cooler head prevail and tell young Cooper.... "Maclin is out, what you said pisses me off, I don't like you but I need you, 1500 yards and 15 TDs from you this season would go a long way in helping me not remember your stupidity."



BTW Eagles lost another WR yesterday.


What it tells me is that the Eagles feel Cooper being at practice is extremely important to them.

Part of it may be due to the fact he was (allegedly) part of an extortion attempt Riley Cooper received tweets from videographers and everyone's in damage-control mode now, so why not take a few days off to diffuse the situation? I'm pretty sure he's learned a valuable lesson in what it means to be a celebrity/athlete in public and the time off undoubtedly served as a brief period of self-reflection on the way to him correcting in own personal dumbassness, .

Oak was "spot-on" ... you may not like the guy next to you, but at some point you may need him to pull your arse out of a jam, so you tolerate the s.o.b. ... the more he comes through, the more you 'tolerate' him ... .
