Not sure what this means?

I the text he says "I'm going to call him (today) and make sure he's OK because the last thing I want to do is to end a guy's career on some cheap shot". He did not say I am going to call he today to make sure he is OK because I don't want to end a guy's career on a clean shot!!
He is clearly refering to His shot as a cheap shot. And then says that he is not a cheap player. which I take to mean that it happen and he is sorry and does not want to be defined by this one bad play.
If you continue reading he said "I am not a cheap player. I've never played this game to be dirty or to hurt anybody."He said "never", which would include the play in question.Yitbos69 said:
"The last thing I want to do..." is synonymous with "I would never intentionally..."

Sorry. It means I think your interpretation of the quote is incorrect. McCree is saying he didn't do a cheap shot. If someone asks me if I ate a dead mouse yesterday and I say that's the last thing I'd want to do, it means no, not yes.Yitbos69 said:
Great analogy

Maybe it means that he did not realize it was a dead mouse until it was too late........from the sounds of it you are a Charger homer
You guys can keep beating this dead horse I am done

Chargers' McCree escapes fine, others don't

San Diego safety Marlon McCree, the subject of considerable criticism from some media quarters after a vicious hit last Sunday that knocked Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh from the game and left him with a concussion, will not be fined.
In reviewing video of the controversial and much-publicized play, which occurred in the fourth quarter, NFL officials determined that contact was shoulder-to-shoulder. There was, the NFL ruled, no helmet-to-helmet contact. Nor did McCree, who seemed to launch himself into Houshmandzadeh, hit the wide receiver with his forearm.
After being on the ground for several minutes, Houshmandzadeh left the game, and did not return. At no time was Houshmandzadeh unconscious. In fact, as he lay on the turf, stunned but apparently coherent, he signaled to game referees to call a penalty.
McCree was flagged for an 18-yard pass interference penalty, moving the ball from the San Diego 45-yard line to the 27-yard line. The possession culminated in a field goal by Bengals kicker Shayne Graham.
McCree and Houshmandzadeh reportedly discussed the incident this week. The Bengals' standout wide receiver has been cleared to play in Sunday's game at New Orleans.
CBS color commentator Dan Dierdorf termed the play "a horrendous cheap shot" during the broadcast, and McCree was the subject of several articles during the week labeling him a dirty player.
While McCree escaped league sanctions, other players weren't so fortunate, with at least a half-dozen fines doled out.
Philadelphia middle linebacker Jeremiah Trotter was fined $7,500 for a "horse collar" tackle on Washington tailback Ladell Betts in the second quarter of the Eagles' victory over the Redskins. The fine further reflects the league's emphasis on enforcing the "horse collar" rule and on punishing those who violate it. Trotter was penalized 15 yards for a personal foul.
Eagles defensive tackle Darwin Walker was fined $5,000 for a personal foul against Redskins tailback Clinton Portis is the first quarter of last Sunday's game.
New York Jets linebacker Victor Hobson and San Francisco cornerback Shantae Spencer were each fined $7,500 for what was deemed excessive contact against quarterbacks in their respective games. A pair of St. Louis players, wide receiver Isaac Bruce and center Richie Incognito, were fined $5,000 each for unnecessary roughness.
