Griese suspended 1 game for Montoya remark

Actually, ESPN should be penalized for exploiting this issue! They only did because of fear of their own ignorance! Granted, maybe Bob could have used a more appropriate statement about Montoya, but their was nothing racist, or negative enough for ESPN to run scared like they did. If if would have been Charles Barkley everyone would have laughed and praised him! I'm serious!

Well at least ESPN got it right by not having Montoya in the top 5 drivers. Soft or hard taco???

awe come on this is bull@#$% for sure..you know he likes tacos

Well only in America I do not see what was wrong with Mr Griese comment on JPM. Actually Montoya is not concern about Mr Griese comment , he does'n even know who Griese is .I am Colombian and I do not feel offended by Mr Griese remarks actually sometimes I like to eat Mexican food, but I prefer my arepas,enpanadas and chicharron. By the way who is this Griese?

Thank goodness. Now we won't have to listen to him cry for at least one week. One of the poorest analysts on college football.

We have become such a fragile nation where you have to worry and analize every little thing that comes out of our mouths, what happened to having thick skin, the media makes things much worse then they really are.

lol, JP said he never heard of Bob Griese haha.....awesome, JP rules!

I'm surprised not to see the black taco by taco bell not being pulled, but give it time and it will be gone..........Griese tries to be funny and bam he is booted for a week , i kinda like Griese , at least he has been between the lines and doesn't butcher the English language.

Oh my god; I have grown up in AZ and have always called my friends TACOHEADS and BURRITO BELLIES and I have been WHITEYWANNABEE who cares????

Maybe Grise should have slept with the top @#$% at ESPN and he wouldn't have been suspended

But it is not a bad judgment call. It's a joke. Should I be mad that he thinks only Mexicans eat of make Taco's? I'm white and I make and eat taco's. He should of said he was hiding from the border patrol.

Gangsta Nip: Yes it certainly is a freedom of speech issue. Mr. Griese did not call anyone a name. It was a reply to a question about the whereabouts of Juan Pablo Montoya. His response probably was not intended to be derogatory toward JPM at all. You people never will get it. The only people that got high and mighty about it were then people at ESPN. This is the same type of crap CBS pulled on a few people years ago. It's political correctness, plain and simple. The idea is to intimidate people so that even the most innocent remark is considered offensive and has to be punished. So instead of you telling people to go get a life, why don't you go pound sand.

Screw political correctness.

Only in this country can liberal idiots have such a voice. So ridiculous.

I'm sick of the crap this country has come to. Big freaking deal. We should be able to say what we feel and think as we like. I'm sick of making nice to anyone that has ever been offended or taken advantage of. It has gone on since the beginning of man on this earth. Why are we constantly having to go back and say we are sorry for things we have nothing to do with. As I said, throughout the history of the world one group has always taken from other. The strongest survive. Suddenly we are trying to change what has been the pattern since the beginning. If someone wants to take what I have or say what they think about me then more power to them. Let's just all be honest and let the world turn as it will. Let the bull@#$% stop and lets begin to be individuals again. Majority rules and the strongest survive.

I bet if George Lopez would have made that comment, it would have gotten a laugh and nothing more than that.....

1 game suspension, so it looks like they took action when nobody really cares! Juan Pablo Montoya blew it off! Anybody remember the Fuzzy Zoeller (not sure I spelled that right?) comment about Tiger Woods? Fuzzy was gone in a heartbeat! The times they are a changing for all these older white good ol' boys! And Bob! JPM is Columbian, not Mexican..strike 2! And still NOBODY CARES!

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz says Griese will not be working a game this week.

Does that mean he will call the race instead?

ESPN another HUGE Nascar mistake. Selling the sport and fans down the river just for the sake of the almighty dollar.

If he had said he is out having a cheeseburger would anyone give a damn? Tacos are Mexican so what is the connection? I am moving to Bratslavia, I am so tired of all the B.S.

Get a life people. This is not a Freedom Of Speech issue, Mr. Griese is an employee of ESPN, the same way I am an employee of the company I work for. So I and Mr. Griese have to abide rules set forth by our respected companies, so if I called my boss an @#$% or whatever, I would be fired. And if Mr. Griese says something stupid on air, ESPN are entitled to do whatever they please.

Well ladies and gentlemen all across Internet land, I threw the gauntlet down to one of these political correctness geeks yesterday regarding Bob Griese's remark. The geek didn't respond, which is typical of gutless liberals who only have talking points given to them by someone elseand are unable to think for themselves. Bob Griese made an inappropriate remark that Juan Pablo Montoya wasn't even offended by and said he didn't know who Griese was. The only people to get upset over this were the cretins running ESPN and the political correctness fanatics all across this land. I don't know Bob Griese but I am willing to bet he has never deliberately made an offensive remark against anyone. It is unfortunate that we have people in this country constantly looking for a reason to be offended by the slightest remark, even if that remark was not directed toward them. If you believe in Freedom of Speech in this country, it is time to fire back at these fools that want to control what you say, when you say it , and where you say it. Now that I have put my opinion on the line, take your best shot.

Bob Griese should have got a raise in pay for that comment.

Well, at least Bob didn't ask where Dale Jr was- out having sex with his sister. Thank goodness for the Californians, can't make no redneck jokes about them boys.

i think we have gotten way to politacaly correct all so people can work the system as they see fit i mean no one says he there is that anglo saxon guy the say look at the white guy. i think griese's comment although on the racial side was very funny and my mexican friends laughed when the heard it. sorry do not have and colmbian friends they are all drug dealers.lol. sure it is in bad taste but if anything he just looks the idiot so who cares the more we desensitize the race issue the more people will forget about it and it will stop being an issue we have gone way to far the other way so that now we are too p.c.
