According to a report by The Big Lead, former Eagles DE Hugh Douglas threatened to beat up colleague Michael Smith at an event hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists:
Hugh Douglas was inebriated and threatened to beat up his colleague Michael Smith three times Friday night, a source who witnessed the altercation at the House of Blues in Orlando tells The Big Lead. According to the source, Douglas, who appears on Numbers Never Lie on ESPN with Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, was trying to get on stage where the DJ was playing, and threatened to beat up Smith if he couldn't help out. After the third threat, Smith tried to walk away, at which point Douglas grabbed Smith's wrist and hurled two racial epithets at him, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and a "House N--." Smith, the witness says, turned around to protect himself, at which point onlookers rushed in to break it up.
Douglas' remarks come a week after Douglas slamming Riley Cooper for his racial slur:
S/O to Riley Cooper.. For keepin it 100.. At least now we know!

Douglas' reaction is understandable. Who among us hasn't gotten extremely pissed off when a colleague isn't doing enough to help us get on a stage where the DJ is playing? Amirite?
