As good as yesterday's college football games were, there were a few issues that bear mentioning. Brother Jon spoke about one at the end of the Alabama/Tennessee game after Terrance Cody blocked a potential Game-winning field goal attempt.
The other of significance, the comment made by ABC College Football announcer Bob Griese during the Ohio State/Minnesota game. Without spoiling the story, it had something to do with NASCAR Driver Juan-Pablo Montoya and a very stereotypical and in this case, completely wrong assumption.
The Story from NBC Miami IS RIGHT HERE
Video from the You Tube/NBC Miami:
Needless to say, Griese had to apologize for what he said, and he has. We hope he was just trying to be funny and missed the mark. Of course there are quite a few people enraged by the quick comment that he made. Griese is a Hall of Fame former Quarterback who played at Purdue and later led the Miami Dolphins during there glory years of the early 70's. He's been an analyst with ABC for a long time working everything from the National Game to the oh-by the way games such as this one.
