Philadelphia Eagles player Riley Cooper is back at practice after a brief leave of absence from the team, following a racial slur he made in a video that went viral. The embattled wide receiver said that he’s spoken with each of his teammates individually, asking them not to forgive him, but to judge him by his future. “I talked to everyone individually,” he said. “I told them, ‘ I don’t want you to forgive me , because that puts the burden on you. I want it all on me.'” “I told them that and I told them I apologize. They could tell it was from the heart, they know I’m not that kind of person. It feels good to have support.” He added that he felt that “100 percent” of his teammates supported him, something he sensed on the field in his return to Eagles training camp. “It felt good to be out there with the guys, catching and running and making plays and them coming up to you, supporting you,” Riley Cooper added. “High-fiving you, chest-bumping you like Jason Avant did in the end zone when I had that TD … It just felt good to be back out here with the guys.” The Eagles excused him Friday and sent him for sensitivity training after video of his remark, made at a June Kenny Chesney concert, surfaced last week. His goal now is to earn the respect back from his teammates. Riley Cooper Racial Slur “Absolutely, just by my actions,” Cooper said of his goal. “Don’t judge me for the past, more so the future and just watch my daily moves and what I’m doing.” Fellow wide receiver Avant, among the team leaders spotlighted by coach Chip Kelly, said that the Eagles are more or less over the situation as a team. “I think you guys [the media] need the healing process more than the team,” Avant said. “You guys got to cover it, so you keeping going, making the story go.” “As far as our team, I think guys are definitely over it and we talked, we’ve had dialogue, we’ve accepted his apology. The only thing he can do is apologize.” “What else can he do? When a situation happens like that, there’s not too many things you can do but apologize and be sincere. Now you guys have to get over it.” Asked whether or not a situation could arise where the team would part ways with Cooper due to the fallout from the situation, Kelly squashed the notion. “I don’t see that happening,” he said. “After talking to our players, I think our players really understand the situation … I don’t envision that happening.” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement Tuesday that Cooper’s slur was “totally unacceptable” but that the receiver was working to regain trust. “Riley has apologized to the team and community and has made a personal commitment to work hard to try and gain their trust and earn his position on the team,” Lurie said.

Upholding his reputation as the Justin Bieber of the college football world, Johnny Manziel is at the center of yet another scandal. And this one may take away his eligibility for the upcoming season. An autograph broker on eBay spoke to ESPN’s Joe Schad on the condition of anonymity and said Maziel’s personal assistant approached him last season to let him know the quarterback now required compensation in exchange for his signature. Johnny Manziel Autograph Signing Controversy This broker’s account follows a report by Outside the Lines yesterday which states the NCAA is looking into whether Manziel was paid for signing numerous items in January, with sources claiming he received a five-figure flat fee during his trip to Miami for the BCS title game. According to NCAA Bylaw 12.5.2.1, accepting money for promoting or advertising the commercial sale of a product or service makes one ineligible to play college football. Texas A&M Head Coach Kevin Sumlin told reporters that that “our university is doing its due diligence to find out the facts” regarding the latest Manziel scandal. Over the last couple months, Manziel was kicked out of a Texas fraternity party and possibly posed with a blunt-holding Heisman Trophy .
Major League Baseball came down hard today on players it found to be involved with Biogenesis, the Florida clinic linked to performance enhancing drugs. The most prominent among them, New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, was suspended for 211 games – through the end of the 2014 season. Alex Rodriguez Suspended 211 Games By MLB A-Rod, of course, is expected to appeal the suspension and remain eligible this evening – which happens to mark his 2013 debut – pending a hearing. MLB commissioner Bud Selig issued statements on Alex Rodriguez and on the state of baseball’s anti-drug program, which he expressed pride in. Selig said Rodriguez’s punishment will begin this week and cover the 2013 and 2014 postseasons, and was covered under the drug program’s protocols. The reason? A-Rod’s “use and possession of numerous performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone” over multiple years. Moreover, he was sanctioned for a bid to “cover-up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the [investigation].” “Under the terms of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, the suspension will be stayed until the completion of his appeal if Rodriguez [challenges] his discipline.” Rodriguez is expected to appeal the suspension immediately and will be allowed to play until his appeal goes before an arbitrator at an undetermined date. The 12 other players agreed to 50-game suspensions and waived their right to appeal: Nelson Cruz, Rangers outfielder Everth Cabrera, Padres shortstop Jhonny Peralta, Tigers shortstop Antonio Bastardo, Phillies reliever Francisco Cervelli, Yankees catcher (on DL) Jordany Valdespin, Mets outfielder (minors) Jesus Montero, Mariners catcher (minors) Cesar Puello, Mets outfielder (minors) Sergio Escalona, Astros pitcher (minors) Fernando Martinez, Yankees outfielder (minors) Fautino De Los Santos, free-agent pitcher Jordan Norberto, free-agent pitcher Facing a possible lifetime ban , Alex Rodriguez did not waive his right to appeal. The Yankees still expect Rodriguez to be eligible to play Monday night.
