ESPN Suspends Dana Jacobson For Derogatory Remarks

Atlanta, GA 1/23/2008 04:09 PM GMT (FINDITT)

ESPN suspended sports announcer Dana Jacobson for a week due to her behavior at a Jan. 11 roast for ESPN Radio personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic at Atlantic City, N.J.

At the roast, Jacobson made a drunken, rambling speech that included vulgar references about Notre Dame. Jacobson said "F*** Notre Dame," "F*** Touchdown Jesus," and finally "F*** Jesus."

Jacobson is a Michigan graduate, and she and Golic, a former Irish defensive lineman, often have exchanged rants about the rivalry between the schools.

A newspaper account said the crowd booed Jacobson. Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis also was in attendance.

Golic and Greenberg are the hosts of ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" radio show.
