Butler, who plays for the Chicago Bulls when he’s not winning gold for the U.S., joined “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on Tuesday and was asked about the brothel story.

All this stuff, but when you’re living over there – can we confirm the brothel story? I’m not bothered at all by it.” Butler: “You’re not bothered by it?” Cowherd: “I lived in Nevada. If guys go to a brothel, what do I care?” Butler: “I mean, it was a mistake. Everybody left, and went and got a drink at a real bar, which is completely fine with me. And that’s all it was.” Leahy: “You weren’t there right?” Butler: “Who me!? Pshh, nowhere to be seen. Not me.”

Williams made it because he's "the rare person stupid enough to deserve being scapegoated." Dolan: "Does he have some kind of "stubborn [expletive]" gene that the rest of us lack?
