Crow-Armstrong responded with a profane response; he apologized for his choice of words before Monday’s game here.</p><p>“I’m just bummed out about the word choice and that a bunch of little kids probably find their way to social media and see that as well,’’ he said.</p><p></p><p></p><bsp-listcarousel class=\"PageListE\" data-module data-column-count=3 data-hide-authors=\"true\"
