Add ESPN's Dana Jacobson's name to the list of media members who recently found themselves in trouble because of inappropriate comments or actions.

Sources have confirmed that Jacobson, a co-host of "First Take" on ESPN2, currently is serving a one-week suspension because of her behavior at a Jan. 11 roast for ESPN Radio personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic at Atlantic City, N.J.

While declining to confirm Jacobson had been suspended, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said, "Her actions and comments were inappropriate and we've dealt with it."

From FanHouse's Michael David Smith

Jacobson reportedly said "F*** Notre Dame," "F*** Touchdown Jesus," and "F*** Jesus" in an attempt to talk trash to Mike and Mike co-host Mike Golic, a former Notre Dame football player.


An ESPN spokesman e-mailed me the following statements:


From ESPN: "Her actions and comments were inapprorpriate and we have dealt with it."


From Dana: "I am very 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 have caused ESPN and Mike and Mike. My actions at the roast were inappropriate and in no way represent who I really am. I have personally apologized to many of the people involved. I won't make excuses for my behavior but do hope that I can be forgiven for such a poor lack of judgment."

According to the Catholic League, it remains unclear whether Jacobson actually said "F*** Jesus" or if she just said "F*** Notre Dame." In the event that she did say "F*** Jesus," the Catholic League will argue for a harsher penalty than one week's suspension.

Just because her Catholic bigotry came out when she was drunk doesn"t mean she doesn"t still feel that way deep down. There"s only one way for Dana to make it right with Notre Dame. See:

This is a ROAST, for crying out loud. By definition, it is not a public event, and also by definition, you are EXPECTED to say offensive things to the persons being roasted. I'm a Christian, and I was not offended by her comments. In fact, I'll go the other way; it's easier to have an honest conversation with the person who will shout "F Jesus!" from the rooftops than the person who will whisper it under their breath. I respect the former a lot more than the latter. Her remarks were intended to insult ND, Golic's alma mater, thereby insulting him. I wasn't aware we were putting boundaries around acceptable forms of discourse at a roast. Only a complete moron would make hay/play offended by this.

...and now long is HuffPo going to milk this story. Reminds me at the theater with a native crowd that giggles everytime an actor "drops the F-bomb".

Grow up!

Fuck ESPN, Dana. They can't roast for shit. You're welcome at the NY Friar's Club anytime.

Funny thing is, she was just named one of Hartford's "most eligible singles". She's on the cover of Hartford magazine for anyone who cares to google it.

Dans should be fired, just like Don Imus was. As a Christian, I find her remarks highly insulting. Suppose she said "F### Zionism" ? Her Jewish bosses would have fired her. This reeks of a double standard--one standard for white males, another for minorities and Jews.

Well, "F*ck the Catholic League"! Where were they when my former parish priest was buggering alter boys and then being transferred from parish to parish, all over Massachusetts? He's now ensconced in Walpole state prison, but no thanks to them. Catholics need to get their own life and stop depending on the self serving hypocrites in organizations from the Vatican on down. They are no holier than you, they just have more money, more lawyers and better PR. I believe in God, it's some of his self appointed employee's that worry me.

WOW! It's great to see all of my fellow Libs are so open and understanding.

A SOW got up and made inappropriate remarks, her bosses took action against here and we have to re-live the Reformation in the HuffPo comments.

Have you ever end seen her on ESPN? She adds NOTHING to the show.

If they ever add Conclusion Jumping to the Olympics, start looking for U.S. representatives right here at "Kinder, gentler" HuffPo.

The bottle looks like a prop; perhaps she was taking a shot at all the drunken Irish students & fans, I live in South Bend and they are thick on the ground! I am a drunken Irish fan and fail to see how being drunk or obnoxious at a roast (or a college football game) is deserving of a suspension from work.

It doesn't look like the bottle is even touching her lips.

Martin Luthur visited The Vatican and saw first hand
where all the money was going.
He started his own anti-Catholic LEAGUE called THE REFORMATION.
