Associated Press reports that Detroit Lions football president and general manager Matt Millen apologized for an inflammatory comment he made to Kansas City's Johnnie Morton after the Chiefs' 45-17 win. Millen said he was talking with some Kansas City players and coaches outside their locker room when he had the exchange with Morton, who Millen had cut after the 2001 season. 'I tried to wish him the best and congratulate him as well,' Millen said in a statement released by the Lions. 'When I called out to him, he just kept walking and then he made a derogatory remark toward me, which really upset me. Unfortunately, I retaliated with a derogatory term directed toward Johnnie. I apologize if I offended anyone. 'What he said is demeaning and bigoted,' Morton told The Kansas City Star. 'Jeremy Shockey got in trouble for saying it about a coach ( Bill Parcells ) , and now we have a president of a team making statements like that. It's totally unacceptable. I have gay friends, and I don't even joke around with them like that.' Last summer, Shockey was quoted during an interview as calling Parcells a 'homo.'
