John:

We all know that its hard to eat crow and admit that, in a moment of passion, we may have done something rash or stupid that we later regret. We also know that you are under a lot of pressure, with people second guessing your opinions and decisions regarding how you have handled this situation. I just want you to know that some of us are here to help. To that end, I’ve prepared the apology letter that you are obviously having trouble writing for yourself:

"I apologize to Coach Kelly both for my conduct during his interview on my show and for all he has had to go through since the arrest of LaMichael James. I accept responsibility for my actions of badgering him without knowing all of the facts. I am also sorry that he has been treated by some people as though he deserved blame for not bowing to my irrational demands. He does not. I ask people to treat Coach Kelly with respect. I now know that he has not done anything wrong.

"Coach Kelly and I have been in a relationship that has meant a lot to me. Regardless of how things are now, I care for and respect him and ask others to do the same. During the long year that he has been coach and I have been commentator, I have always thought I knew his job better than him. Once this has passed, I’m sure I’ll feel that way again.

"I hope to put this matter behind me and to learn from it, at least until people have forgotten what an ass I have been. I have made my mistake and accept the benefits of the fame it has brought me. I look forward to demonstrating to Beaver Nation and my editors that I am the same great man that I have always believed myself to be.

"Sincerely, Johnny C."
