Go ahead and jump in the time machine, not only for Givens' denial of those rumors, but also for his feelings on how accepting (some, if not all of) the Oilers' locker room really was.

I don't like the notion that I shouldn't call someone on saying idiotic things just because they won't be thrown in jail for saying them. Or that I don't have the right to make the decision not to contribute to someone who says idiotic things by buying what they're selling.
