Dana Jacobson ESPN Host Suspended For Remarks (Video)
Dana Jacobson, is a co-host of First Take on ESPN2. Like so many before her, she is in trouble with the network over remarks she made at an Atlantic City, N.J. roast for ESPN Radio personalities Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg.
The dust up involved some inappropriate remarks Jacobson made about Notre Dame. Her comments, with bottle in hand, were said to be rambling and vulgar. Jacobson, a Michigan graduate, had often sparred with Golic, a former defensive lineman for the Fighting Irish. Their rivalry banter was apparently a normal part of their relationship.
She has apologized to Notre Dame and to Golic and Greenberg. In a written statement she said the following:
“I am sorry. My remarks about Notre Dame were foolish and insensitive. I respect all religions and did not mean anything derogatory by my poorly chosen words. I also deeply regret the embarrassment I’ve caused ESPN and Mike and Mike.
“My actions at the roast were inappropriate and in no way represent who I am. I won’t make excuses for my behavior, but I do hope I can be forgiven for such a poor lack of judgment.”
An ESPN spokeman, Josh Krulewitz said, “Her actions and comments were inappropriate, and we’ve dealt with it.” He would not confirm the rumors that Dana Jacobson has received a one week suspension.
The Golf Channel had a recent stir with one of their on air anchors, Kelly Tilghman. She made derogatory comments about Tiger Woods. CLICK HERE to read more on that story.
We’ve also got a YouTube video commentary from Sean Casey’s Outrage of the Day.

it’s a roast.. what else are you supposed to be, nice?
If the comment were about Muslims,or African Americans, someone would lose their job… Everyone can bash Jesus (and His followers) but no other religion without a bog hoo-haa?! She should be held accountable and know that there ARE people who care and find her offensive.
