The incident began when the veteran personality was asked to spell the word "Jewish" during his show on the Chicago radio station.
"Money, M-O-N-E-Y," was Coppock's on-air response to the question.
The radio stations General Manager Jim Pastor said the sportscaster's comment was not acceptable and suspended Coppock until Feb. 23.
"We're extremely sorry," Pastor said. "The comment was offensive and uncalled for. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior from any of our hosts."
Coppock, who mainly works weekend shifts at the Chicago radio station, also issued a statement in which he apologized.
"I made an offensive comment I truly regret," that statement read. "I sincerely apologize." [upi]
He said his “out loud” and he is suffering the punishment by being suspeneded for 2 weeks without pay.

Ok. But there are insdie words and outside words. This inside word slipped out of his mouth and now he deserves what he is getting.
And where is Fat AL on this issue.
Fat Al always goes nuts when an inside word becomes an outside word!
i think it was funny.
these guys get 2 sec not even to think of comments.
i take it as a compliment
I have no problem with the suspension the same way I would not have had a problem had Imus also only been suspended. I thought CBS was a bunch of wusses for caving into Al Slim Shady Loudmouth Sharpton and his dirty bag of tricks.
Face it, we live in a country where people have opinions and they are generally allowed to say them. He said his “out loud” and he is suffering the punishment by being suspeneded for 2 weeks without pay.
The best way to keep this loudmouth bum off the air is to call the advertisers of the show en masse and threaten boycott. What do you think Jesse Jerkson does? Let’s learn from him and Sharpie Sharpton..

you took the words out of my mouth!!!!!!! where is AL CORRUPTON i guess he only cares for his fellow blacks but when it comes to us jews no one cares or gives a darn… why is he being suspended until feb.23 he should be fired and never let back on to any job that allows him on public radio he should be baneed for good and then i would like to see if he will still SINCERELY APOLOGIZE. i am sure inside he still feels what he said is nothing wrong let him get what imus got and let us spell it for him Y-O-U-R-E F-I-R-E-D
Until Feb 23?? So he’ll be back on the air in plenty of time to reprise his Haman impressions.
Do a Don Imus…FIRE HIM!! Send a message that anti-semitism is no less offensive than anti-black rhetoric.
It’ll never happen, Jews don’t matter.
They will blame their hate on anything but for hate, its not about money its hate there are rich and poor everywhere but they dont seem to care anti semites will always hate jews even if we have no money at all.
he’ll be back.
…we’re in Galus….what’s the surprise? Eisav Soneh L’Yaakov is a reality – not just a saying.
Isn’t it interesting, how they only apologize sincerely when caught!!
Where’s fat Al now?
