    Carl Pickens made a mistake but he manned up and apologized. That's all a man could do.

      Obviously it was a heat of the moment and being frustrated with how he was performing resulted in that gaffe. You live and you learn is all you can do in that situation.

      This. There's a really good lesson for all of us to learn from how Carl handled his actions by being honest and accountable about it. Well done.

    People forget rod's 1992 season was Amazing for a cornerback. He had 100 tackles, and 6 sacks, plus 4 interceptions and 4 forced fumbles, for a cornerback

    I completely understand his views.
    I dated a black Woman, as I am a white man.
    Back in the Early 90's. And we faced pressure from our families. We are still friends who
    talk to one another. And I still wonder if
    we could have made a go of it ?
    Yet as we both are in our Fifties, we both have lived with our wisdom in realizing that youth can be hard in these tempting situations.
    So kudos for they're strength in being love.

      @@Fireyninjadog I think it was more out of emotion and frustration because of the way Carl was performing and was on a bad Bengals team during that era. Obviously he regretted that moment and he owned up to it and not much else he can do afterwards.

    People couldn't and still won't understand that intimacy is uncontrollable, love cannot be bounded. It's like an exotic animal, it's free and natural. Not even you can control your own love for whoever you end up loving to the fullest.
