I want to apologize to the fans… The video I posted was distasteful. Our team is a family, and we love each other. I am sorry to the fans
And over at the Star-Ledger, Osi Umenyiora gave his opinion on the tub-thumper hazing. Excerpt:
Asked if he said anything to Pierre-Paul about the incident, Umenyiora replied with a laugh, “I was right there. They didn’t catch me on camera, but I was there egging the whole thing on.”
And in the Big Apple, the New York Daily News conjectures that Prince’s dunking was a way of some team members questioning whether he has enough toughness to succeed in the National Football League.
