I'll be glad when this whole protesting thing is finally over.  I'm tired of politics and pc invading the NFL.

I can see why the players got mad, when he referred to prison. It kind of made the players look like a bunch of thugs that belong behind bars. When you look at it as a whole though, McNair is old and he just misquoted an old figure of speech. I think if he would've actually gotten the adage right and said "asylum" instead of "prison", this entire thing wouldn't be such a big deal. It's amazing how one little word, can set off such rage. It's almost like people are looking for a reason to get upset.
