The Facts: Kamara had some things he wanted to get off his chest. The star New Orleans Saints running back, who last February marred his otherwise clean public image when he was involved in a brawl outside a Las Vegas nightclub, took the opportunity to issue a public apology Friday in his first lengthy comments about the incident. "It's been 18, 19 months I've been dealing with this ordeal," Kamara said. "I never want to be involved in something where someone gets hurt or severely injured or anything."

Diehards Line: Kamara continued: "Poor judgment on my end, definitely a bad decision, but I'm a man. Anything I've ever done in my life, I've stood on and I can take accountability for. I can say when I'm wrong, and I was completely wrong. I embarrassed the Saints, I embarrassed my family and my mother, I embarrassed myself, I embarrassed this city and. ... I embarrassed the NFL." Kamara reached a plea agreement for a misdemeanor charge on the Las Vegas incident last month. He is expected to receive some sort of suspension from the NFL. Earlier this week, he flew out to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to give his side of events. "I'd be lying if I said it wasn't tough," Kamara said. "I lost a lot throughout this ordeal. I'm not looking for any pity, not looking for somebody to give me a pat on the back and say it's okay. I know what I did, I know what I was involved in. I take responsibility. That's part of being a man and growing. From here, I've got to make the right decisions and make the right choices." For what it's worth, Kamara said if he’s suspended he expects the team will not miss a beat. He has the utmost confidence in new RB Jamaal Williams and rookie RB Kendre Miller. ... Stay tuned.
