What I find most notable about the latest dumb-ass statement by Lions GM Matt Millen (Millen was talking with KC coaches and players after their pasting of the Lions, and attempted to talk with KC WR Johnnie Morton, who basically ignored him; Millen then called him a "faggot") is Morton's response:
"What he said is demeaning and bigoted," Morton told The Kansas City Star. ... "It's totally unacceptable. I have gay friends, and I don't even joke around with them like that."
An NFL player on a big-time team stating unequivocably to the media that he has gay friends, and won't stand for such "bigoted" language? Now, that's impressive. Thank you, Johnnie.
