this one by linebacker robert henson made national news. so this is something that is going to stick with him for a while. even though they won, redskins viously were booed on sunday. everybody heard it. this was really irritating for rookie linebacker robert henson. he is a sixth-round draft pick out of tcu. he never played in a regular season game. he gained attention because he was one of the rookies tied to the goal post during training camp. he let his emotions get to him after hearing those boos during sunday's win. he unleashed those thoughts through twitter. here is what he wrote. "all you fake skins fans, don't come to fedex to boo dimwits." the question is, "who are you to say you know what's best to the team when you work 9:00 to 5:00 at mcdonald's?" monday he publicly apologized and today attended a scheduled event helping more than 40 burn survivors attending the burn camp. this is something close to robert because he lost his 10-year-old brother in fire in 1997. today this was special for him to take part in. he gave kids the

at the least if i was dan snyder i would say robert henson does not speak for us.t and love our fans. we're going to give him a second chance but in no way does what he said find favor with us. >> you gave him a second chance as dan snyder but as tony kornheiser you cut him. >> as tony kornheiser i would get him out. if you're so dumb as to think that things are off the record or that you can insult the entire fan base like that without repercussions. stop, get out. >> that said, tony, home fans -- i don't see the point of booing the team. what good are you doing? >> they were terrible. a lot of the veterans said they would have booed too. >> going to be hard for the second joe buck show on hbo to have as much buzz as the first, tony, but tonight he'll try. no artie lange, just a bunch of big-name sports celebrities. i root for uncomfortable television. bad or good, just make it memorable. you? >> you push for uncomfortable television. this is hard for me to do with you all the time. i wonder this about joe buck. it's been months since he's been on. i've got to thi

speaking of twitter, thank you robert henson. henson is a washington redskins rookie linebacker who was pretty upset about home fans booing during sunday's win over st. louis. so upset he called the fans dim wits. of course henson has not apologized for his actions, but there is a lesson to be learned. just because you have an open forum does not mean you can say anything you want. i hear more and more about how proathletes are excited to control their own messages over twitter. henson proved how fast you can get burned when you don't know what you are doing. somebody tell me what herschel walker is thinking signing a contract to do a mixed martial arts promoter strikeforce. from what i can tell this is not a joke. walker, who is the same former nfl star who is now 47 years old will be fighting in the ring by next year. if this was 1995 i might be intrigued by this decision. but today all i can do is think walker is either broke or starving for attention. sure, walker has done interesting things in his life. fifth degree black be
