Perhaps ESPN might want to reconsider its suspension of broadcaster Bob Griese after all. Griese was suspended for one week following a remark he made during ESPN's broadcast of the Minnesota-Ohio State game last Saturday. While promoting the network's upcoming NASCAR coverage, Griese responded to fellow analyst Chris Spielman's inquiry about where Juan Pablo Montoya was by saying, "Out having a taco." But if Montoya's Twitter page is to be believed, the Colombian race car driver has a sense of humor over the incident. The post, made around 1 p.m. ET on Thursday read: "Guess what I'm having for lunch.....TACOS!!!!!....and I'm serious about it!!!!" ESPN was plenty serious about it when the incident happened, docking Griese a week's pay even though the broadcaster apologized on-air twice for the incident. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz says ESPN has spoken to Griese and "he understands the comment was inappropriate." The Associated Press contributed to this report.
