Default Greasy Griese


ESPN broadcaster Bob Griese has been suspended one week for a remark
he made about NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz says Griese will not be working a game
this week.

Krulewitz says ESPN has spoken to Griese and "he understands the
comment was inappropriate."

During ESPN's broadcast of the Minnesota-Ohio State game Saturday, a
graphic was shown listing the top five drivers in NASCAR's points
race. Fellow analyst Chris Spielman asked where was Montoya, who is
Colombian.

Griese replied he was "out having a taco."

He has twice apologized on air for the remark.

Montoya is declining to comment on Griese's suspension. He brushed off
the remark Sunday, and said he'd never heard of Griese.
