Michael Vick may have offered up forgiveness to Riley Cooper in light of the racist comments he made in a video that leaked yesterday. But one of Cooper's other teammates LeSean McCoy isn't ready to forgive Cooper and forget about what he said. In fact, he's pretty sure that things between him and his Eagles teammate will never be the same again.

During an interview with the NFL Network today, the Eagles star running back revealed that he lost a friend yesterday when he heard Cooper's remarks. He also said that he doesn't look at Cooper the same way he did before the video came out.

"I can't respect a guy like that," he said.

Yikes. That's all well and good, and McCoy definitely deserves to be upset with Cooper right now. But if McCoy and other guys on the Eagles have lost respect for Cooper, shouldn't the team cut Cooper loose and avoid having his presence be a distraction all season long? It'll be interesting to see what they decide to do with Cooper in the coming weeks.
