apparently at the Mike and Mike Celebrity Roast she made some religiously insensitive comments while drunk. anyone know what she said? > ESPN anchor Dana Jacobson made an absolute fool of herself, swilling vodka from a Belvedere bottle, mumbling along and cursing like a sailor as Mike & Mike rested their heads in their hands in embarrassment. Griffin came to the podium to defend her after she was booed by the crowd. Ross eventually had to pull her off stage, too. ---

Wikipedia to the rescue. Of course, since it’s Wikipedia, it might be completely made up. > **[Dana Jacobson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Jacobson)** > > Dana Jacobson (born November 5, 1971) is a host and correspondent for CBS News currently serving as a co host for CBS Saturday Morning. She is also an anchor & reporter for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network. She joined CBS News in 2015, 2 years after she began working for CBS Sports Network. Prior to that Jacobson spent a decade at ESPN, from 2002 until 2012. In March 2005, she was named co-host of Cold Pizza and transitioned with the show as it became First Take.

She reportedly said, “F- Notre Dame.” “F- Touchdown Jesus.” “F- Jesus.” [1] ESPN deemed the comments “inappropriate” and issued the following statement from Jacobson: > > "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.”[1] Pretty sure “Fuck Jesus!” will get you in trouble at most employers. :lol: ---
