During the display of an ESPN graphic during Ohio State and Minnesota telecast on Saturday while five drivers were in the Chase for the Cup race to promote Sunday’s NASCAR race, Chris Spielman the Color commentator asked the whereabouts of Juan Pablo Montoya from his 64-year-old experienced campaigner Robert Allen Griese (also known and recognized as Bob Griese). All Chris could do was to shred his shoulders to hear the reply; Bob said “Montoya’s out eating a taco tortilla.”
The football analyst Bob Griese was forced to apologize twice for the abrupt remarks and comments just popped out of his mouth about the 34-year-old former Formula One and Cart driver Columbian Juan Pablo Montoya Roldán on Saturday. The occasion was the remake of “Fatal Attraction” by Steve Phillips and Bob Griese was accompanied by Chris Spielman when the slip of tongue against the number one and one of the best NASCAR drivers occurred.
An immediate statement from the ESPN followed the incident and Griese was heard saying,”I am extremely sorry for my comments during the ballgame earlier today.” Bob now plans to apologize again during the live telecast of college football programming by ESPN as he’s realized his action was an inappropriate one.
Both the men involved in the incident have a mark of their own. Robert Allen Griese is respected as a Pro Hall of Fame Football player and used to be with Miami Dolphins and as a quarterback; he led the Dolphins to a record three consecutive appearances at the ‘Super Bowl.’ The team managed to win on two occasions. Whereas Juan Pablo Montoya Roldán is the current driver of #42 Target Chevrolet Impala at Earnhardt Ganassi Racing in the Sprint Cup Series.
