Chicago -
Former Chicago Bears player Dan Hampton, who's now the co-host of "Pro Football Weekly," is going to apologize for comments that were insensitive to gays.
Last week, Hampton had this to say about the Cowboys football team: "I think they are Clint Eastwood; they're more of the Brokeback variety if you know what I'm talking about."
Hampton also said that the Minnesota Vikings need to "hit that town like Katrina" when they play the New Orleans Saints on Thursday.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation was all over him, and he's going to apologize.
GLAAD's blog says: "Hampton publicly apologized for the Katrina gaffe, but has not yet addressed the Brokeback comment. Pro Football Weekly publisher Hub Arkush told GLAAD that Hampton will be leading this weekend's show with an on-air apology for both statements. Arkush said "it shouldn't have happened" and assured GLAAD that similar incidents will not happen again."
