dana-jacobson-vodka.jpgSeems that ESPN did not take Dana Jacobson’s comments too kindly and has suspended ESPN First Take host for a week.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said, “Her actions and comments were inappropriate and we’ve dealt with it.”

One eyewitness labeled it an “embarrassing display,” and a newspaper account said the crowd booed Jacobson. Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis also was in attendance.

Jacobson reportedly made a number of personal apologies the following day, including to Greenberg and Golic.

In a statement, Jacobson said, “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.”

Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown said, “While we in no way condone Ms. Jacobson’s comments, we’re aware of the circumstances in which they occurred, and in the interest of forgiveness, trust that she and ESPN will address the matter in an appropriate way.”
