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.
