"Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason extended an apology to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Twitter. Well, at least a partial one.

"Someone I love and respect so much said I should apologize to the commissioner not for what I said but for the shirt," Mason tweeted Thursday night. "So commissioner goodell I apologize for the shirt bit I still feel that there's a bigger issue to tackle right now and that's the cba!!"

During a radio interview last week, Mason called Goodell "a joke" for the commissioner's stance on human growth hormone testing. A few days ago, Mason went on ESPN2 wearing a t-shirt that read: "A JOKE."

So, to clarify, Mason is apologizing to Goodell for wearing a shirt that says "a joke" but not for calling him one."
