ESPN needs some damage control. Just one day after the sports network fired baseball expert Steve Phillips for having an affair with a young production assistant, announcer Bob Griese has now been suspended after making an inappropriate remark on air about NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya. While announcing for Saturday's Minnesota-Ohio State football game, Griese made a joke that Montoya, who is Colombian, was "out having a taco." ESPN is punishing Griese by pulling him off the air for one week, noting that the announcer acknowledged the inappropriateness of his sense of humor.
