Titans [Titans] CBS Announcer Apologizes For Comment About Chris Johnson

CBS announcer Gus Johnson apologized on Tuesday after making a controversial remark describing Titans RB Chris Johnson on Sunday. As Chris Johnson broke through the Jaguars' defense for a 52-yard TD run, Gus Johnson, in his excitable style, said of the Titans tailback, "He's got getting-away-from-the-cops speed!" Gus Johnson gave this statement about the comment to USA TODAY's Michael Hiestand: "If there is a perception of racism in this analogy, it is not coming from me. People of all races have run from the law. However, to those who are offended, I apologize."

Maybe it's the people that are interpreting it the way they are that are racist? Just saying...

I wouldn't mind being told I have "getting-away-from-the-cops speed!"

Jesus Christ! You can't say anything anymore without some fucking group getting their feelings hurt. What the hell is this country coming to?

I remember when people used to be able to take a joke. And I'm not THAT old!

"The black athlete is bred to be the better athlete because, this goes all the way to the Civil War when ... the slave owner would breed his big woman so that he would have a big black kid."

What was going through Jimmy's head while he was saying this???
