PHILADELPHIA -- Saying he was "ashamed and disgusted" with himself, Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper apologized repeatedly for making a racial slur at a Kenny Chesney concert that was caught on video and led to him getting fined. The video of Cooper using the N-word surfaced Wednesday on the Internet. Cooper issued a statement of apology then met with reporters outside the teams practice facility. "This is the lowest of lows," Cooper said. "This is not the type of person I want to be portrayed as. This isnt the type of person I am. Im extremely sorry." Cooper said he was drinking when he directed the slur at an African-American security guard at the concert in June. "Thats no excuse for what I said. I dont use that term," he said. "I was raised better than that. I have a great mom and dad and theyre disgusted with my actions." Cooper said he was fined a significant amount of money by the Eagles. "We are shocked and appalled by Riley Coopers words," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. "This sort of behaviour or attitude from anyone has no role in a civil society. He has accepted responsibility for his words and his actions. He has been fined for this incident." The league released the following statement: "The NFL stands for diversity and inclusion. Comments like this are wrong, offensive, and unacceptable." A fifth-round pick out of Florida, Cooper is entering his fourth season in the NFL. He has 46 catches and five touchdowns in three years with the Eagles. Cooper had tentatively moved into a starting role after Jeremy Maclin tore his right ACL in practice last Saturday. Still, hes not guaranteed a roster spot in Chip Kellys new offence. "Im willing to accept all consequences," Cooper said. "I know no one in Philadelphia is happy with me right now. I accept that. I hope they see the true me and accept my apology. I know it will take a while." Cooper apologized to teammates after talking to the media. "As a team we understood because we all make mistakes in life and we all do and say things that maybe we do mean and maybe we dont mean," Eagles quarterback Michael Vick said. "But as a teammate I forgave him. We understand the magnitude of the situation. We understand a lot of people may be hurt and offended, but I know Riley Cooper. I know him as a man. Ive been with him for the last three years and I know what type of person he is. Thats what makes it easy, and at the same time, hard to understand. But easy to forgive him." Vick also rebuked his brother, Marcus Vick, for profanity-laced tweets, including one offering a $1,000 bounty for any player who lays Cooper out in a game. Marcus Vick later deleted all the tweets. "To address my brothers situation and what hes saying, I dont think its really relevant," Vick said. "You cant allow yourself to be encumbered in whats going on. I dont agree with what my brother is saying. Riley is still my teammate and he just stood in front of us and apologized for what he said. Somewhere deep down youve got to find some level of respect for that. To people in the outside world who dont know how were dealing with it, theyre going to forge their own opinions, but my brother has to not show a certain level of ignorance himself."

Coach O earned this job.I worked closely with (LSU) President Alexander and board leadership throughout a very deliberate process. By the end of that process, our decision was clear. Coach Orgeron took us step by step through every aspect of his plans for this program and there was no question that he is the man to lead LSU football.Since taking over as interim coach of the Tigers on Sept. 25, Orgeron guided LSU to a 5-2 mark, beating four Southeastern Conference opponents - Missouri, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Texas A&M - all by double-digits. LSUs two losses during that span came by a total of 16 points as the Tigers held top-ranked Alabama scoreless for three quarters and came up a yard short in falling to Florida, 16-10.In seven games under Orgeron, LSU set offensive records for most yards in a SEC game (634 vs. Missouri), longest scoring play from scrimmage (Derrius Guice 96-yard TD run vs. Arkansas), and twice set the school single-game rushing record (Leonard Fournette 284 yards vs. Ole Miss, Derrius Guice 285 yards vs. Texas A&M).Defensively, LSU held opponents scoreless for 14 of 28 quarters under Orgeron and limited the opposition to an average of 10.3 points per game over the seven contests. With 39 points, Texas A&M became the only team to score more than 21 points against LSU this year.

Six times in 2015 LSUs defense help opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing in a game, including limiting Mississippi State to 43 yards in the season-opener and Texas Tech to 29 in the Texas Bowl.Prior to joining the LSU staff, Orgerons last coaching stop came at Southern Cal where he served as recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach for the Trojans for four years (2010-13). Orgeron was elevated to interim head coach at USC for the final eight games of the 2013 season, leading the Trojans to a 6-2 mark over that span.As a player, Orgeron was a four-year starter on the defensive line for Northwestern State, captaining the Demons as a senior.
