Over the weekend, JJ Redick of the 76ers dropped a racial slur towards Asians when he was asked to wish the Chinese NBA fans a happy new year.
So what was Redick’s explanation? He was apparently ‘tongue tied’…
Just saw a video that is being circulated of me wishing a happy new year to NBA fans in China.Clearly I was tongue tied, as the word I purportedly said is not in my vocabulary. I’m disappointed that anyone would think I would use that word. I love & respect our friends in China.

Fergie’s rendition of the National Anthem will go down as one of the worst in history. However in all fairness it seems like she had her doubts about it during rehearsals. [Deadspin]
