Griese apologizes for joke about Montoya

ESPN analysts apparently can't stay out of the news this week. During Saturday's broadcast of the Minnesota-Ohio State college football game, former NFL star turned ESPN commentator Bob Griese made a culturally insensitive comment about NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya during a promo for the race.

"Earlier today on our game I made an offensive comment regarding Juan Pablo Montoya as part of a NASCAR promo. It was regrettable and I should not have said it. I really enjoy NASCAR and I follow it closely and would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Juan, NASCAR and everyone else who heard my comment," he said.

Your apology makes it sound like you're sorry that people heard you.

Were you a competent professional, rather than a washed-out football dummy, you would have known he was born in Bogotá, Colombia and not mexico.

You dumb d¡çkhead.
