SS: I don't think it's regret. Obviously, we didn't want to create any type of harm toward anyone who had a difficult situation down there with the weather. The reality of it, to me, is that my linebacker coach slept on the highway when there were two inches of snow on the ground. I was just being playful with it. I felt bad that people took it the wrong way. That's part of social media. Lesson learned. I'm going to use that with my team. Coach made a bad mistake right here. We have to be smart about what we put out there. Whether you think it's fun and games or not. We have to be smarter than that.
