As Imus explains himself, Pacman says he’ll pray for radio host

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3458377 NEW YORK -- Don Imus said Tuesday morning on his radio show that he was trying to "make a sarcastic point" with his latest on-air remarks about race, but that they had been misunderstood. Imus resurrected his radio career six months ago with a pledge to mend the wounds caused by a racist and sexist comment he made about a women's basketball team. On Tuesday he said he was following the spirit of that promise by calling attention to the unfair treatment of blacks -- in this case the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. "What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason," Imus said Tuesday. "I mean, there's no reason to arrest this kid six times. Maybe he did something once, but everyone does something once." Jones told The Dallas Morning News in Tuesday's editions that he's upset by Imus' comments and plans to pray for the radio host. espn.com 6/24/08
