It was on ESPNU. Gay people don't even *get* ESPNU. They would've had Brent Musberger make a bigoted remark, but instead they decided to put it on their fledgling low-distribution platform in an effort to force television carriers to pick up the channel.

I don't understand the argument. If you are tenderley carressing your own balls, how can that be gay? I mean, if you are all up on another man's balls, do you really need to be told you are gay? This whole conversation is homosexual.

Kinchen?s ?gay? comments cost him

Published: November 1st, 2006 01:00 AM
Former NFL receiver Brian Kinchen will not work as an ESPNU commentator this week because of a comment he made during last Saturday?s broadcast of the Northern Illinois-Iowa game. Kinchen was explaining the need for receivers to make catches with their hands because they are ?tender? and can ?caress? the ball. He then paused and said, ?That?s kind of gay, but hey ...?
?The comments were inappropriate, and we apologize for them,? said ESPN?s vice president of public relations, Josh Krulewitz.
Kinchen?s future with ESPNU is under review, Krulewitz said.
ESPN?s decision first was reported in The Des Moines Register.
Kinchen, a former tight end who played at Louisiana State and in the NFL from 1988 to 2000 with Miami, Cleveland and Baltimore, also apologized for his remarks.
?They were completely inappropriate and not at all a reflection of who I am or the way I perform my work,? Kinchen said in a statement issued by ESPN. ?I have learned from my mistake and look forward to continuing my broadcasting career.?
