WOW Greise Really?

[devolg]

Anybody else watching the Ohio State Minnesota game just catch the Greise comment about Juan Pablo Montoya?

They where doing a promo for Nascar & had a graphic at the bottom showing the top 5 in points when sombody asked "Where's Juan Pablo Montoya?" Greises response.... "Probably out getting a Taco"

Seriously?

[WabashFalcon]

Racist.....

Racist.....

I seriously was wondering if they even eat tacos in Colombia! A quick wikipedia check shows not really. I guess Griese is just a moron.

Update:

Griese did apologize, on air, at the end of the game, for his comment.

Translation: He was told to apologize in feeble attempt to safe face for ESPN.

This likely wont go away. A quick google of the phrase "greise taco" turns up quite a few blogs/twitters/forum topics & whats even funnier is somebody already took the time to add it to his Wikipedia, Bob Griese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On October 24, 2009, while providing color commentary for the University of Minnesota at Ohio State University football game, Griese caused a stir while making an off topic comment about NASCAR standings implying that Colombian driver Juan Pablo Montoya was not in the top 5 because he was "out having a taco." At this time, any reprimands for Griese's racially charged statement are unknown. Griese did manage to get in an apology in the seconds before the game went off the air.

I'm tired of politically correct everything, but at least be smart enough to know who you are making fun of. That's the only part that bothered me. If it had been someone from Mexico, I'd probably chuckle. (kinda did anyway)

thats funny! So he made a joke... what is the big deal? Lol..

 

[IrishChris209]

it is a JOKE if you do not find it funny then TURN THE CHANNEL !!

If Montoya was black & he said he was out getting a bucket of chicken I bet the response would be a lot different.

Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson would be on the case.

Shit I bet Barack himself would be in on it.

Forget the central and south american spanish, its the jews you should be worried about. THEY RUN EVERYTHING.

Don't know if anyone heard the halftime show on FOX today...Terry Bradshaw was doing his usual horrendous, slurred rundown of scores. He gets to the Raiders game and a Jamarcus Russell highlight, and says something about him chasing down a hamburger.

More of a fat joke, but hilarious.

ROFL I love Bradshaw & at this point Russell deserves every bit of it.
