Don Cherry talks 'Coach's Corner' firing, defends comments but would have 'used different words'

Don Cherry spoke Tuesday about his firing from "Coach's Corner" following a controversial rant on Saturday night, defending his comments about new immigrants not wearing poppies, but said he would have "used different words."

During the interview, he said had he been able to appear on-air on Nov. 16, he would've said, "I wish I had said 'everybody' instead of 'you people.'"

Pressed about his comments, Cherry said his comments weren't directed at minorities, and that what he said applies to anyone.
