Former Warriors coach Mark Jackson still being criticized by ESPN panelist

Ryan made the critical comments on Dan Le Batard's radio show on Jan. 6, and hasn't taken an opportunity to walk them back, adding, "I'm sorry, but it's the truth. And I can't believe they took him back on that broadcast. Oh my God. He's a con man, and he's done very well at it. I'll give him credit for being a great one."

Ryan did not appear on any of ESPN's programs from Jan. 6 until Sunday because he was serving a suspension, TheBigLead.com reported. Ryan told the Web site that his comments about Jackson were an "intemperate, foolish outburst that I regret. I was treated very nicely by the company, and have told them that I will not do anything like this again to be out of their good graces."

Jackson, a co-pastor and licensed minister, was allegedly extorted by a former stripper and in 2012 admitted to his involvement in an extramarital affair.
