INDIANAPOLIS -- Longtime announcer Bob Lamey, who has announced his retirement as voice of the Colts, used a racial slur while retelling a story last week to a "friend."
Lamey's attorney released a statement Wednesday morning acknowledging Lamey used "inappropriate" language during an off-the-air conversation last week and immediately apologized to those involved.
A team official later issued a statement that said in part the Colts "deplore and do not tolerate the use of any racial slur -- in any context.
"While it is the Colts' strict and long-standing policy to not make public comment on personnel matters, Bob publicly acknowledged that last week he repeated an inappropriate word when telling a story.
