Today Jones-Drew says he's not backing down from anything he said about Cutler. Jones-Drew took to Twitter when he learned that Cutler was sitting out the second half with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. I'll say this about Jones-Drew, at least he hasn't went back and said his account was hacked or he reflected upon it after x amount of time and felt he should make amends about the situation. In an interview with the NFL Network, Jones-Drew said he has no regrets.
“I don’t regret anything I do,” Jones-Drew said. “You think about everything you put out there. I’m not going to be one of those guys to say, ‘I shouldn’t have done it.’ Because I did it. I knew what I was doing when I tweeted it. I just didn’t know that many people were following me at the time.”
Asked if he had apologized to Cutler, Jones-Drew said he hasn’t seen Cutler but sees no reason that he would need to reach out.
“I haven’t gotten a chance to, but I wouldn’t apologize because I didn’t do anything wrong, I don’t think,” Jones-Drew said. “I didn’t commit a crime. I didn’t kill anyone or rape anyone or anything like that. I mean, I stated my opinion, and it seems like you get more backlash for that than committing a real crime in some sense. I feel like I didn’t do anything wrong, I just said what everybody else was thinking.”
Jones-Drew didn't do anything wrong. If he hadn't said it maybe someone else would've. I'm just glad he didn't go back on what he said and claimed it was a mistake made by someone else. Clubber Lang would be proud for being a real man in this case. The only thing I might would be disappointed with is when he said that he didn't know that many people were following him.
You're a celebrity/entertainer/athlete, you have more followers than the average person.

OMG, who's your editor? ". . . hasn't went back. . ." What an insult to your readership that your writer doesn't know when to use "gone" instead of "went". Sigh . . . tough being an ex-English teacher and having to read such poor grammar and usage.
Regardless of one's sentiments about Jones-Drew and his comments about Jay Cutler, it's difficult to accept the fact that your writer obviously doesn't know when to use "gone" and "went".
". . . at least he hasn't went back and said . . ."
Grammar and usage are still important to some of us, at least as much as the content of a piece. If you need an editor, contact me. I work cheaply :)
