Riley Cooper 'still embarrassed about the situation' - NFL.com video interview in link, they cut before the two hugged which you could see on NFL network last night...like every hour or so

Riley Cooper was embroiled in controversy last year, but he was able to put the situation behind him and produce a career season for the Eagles.
Cooper posted a line of 47/835/8 in Jeremy Maclin's absence and will take on an even bigger role in Chip Kelly's offense with DeSean Jackson in D.C. The media whirlwind that followed his racist remark caused a big distraction, but Cooper says the support of his teammates allowed him to focus on football

Obviously, I was very embarrassed. I'm still embarrassed about the situation," Cooper told NFL Media's Michael Irvin on Thursday. "Words hurt, and I'm crushed by it. But it felt good to know my teammates were supporting me. Just a simple, 'Hey Coop, I'm here for you man' or 'Hey, praying for you man.' 'Hey, I got your back.'
"It meant a lot to me," Cooper continued. "That was a huge deal, nationwide. That is a big deal. And to have the support from the guys that know ya, it meant a lot."
Cooper was a big part of the Eagles' surprise ascent to the NFC East crown, and he was rewarded with a five-year, $25 million deal. The University of Florida product says he played the season like he owed his teammates something.
