Writer: Dana Jacobson Didn’t Say It
ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings, REligion January 24th. 2008, 12:35pm
Decided to get all journalisty and get in touch with Atlantic City Press writer Scott Cronick, since he attended the notorious Mike & Mike roast that may end up getting anchor Dana Jacobson fired. We asked him if he heard Dana Jacobson say, ‘F Jesus,’ which is what Bill Donohue and the Catholic League are all worked up about.
“I never heard Dana Jacobson say F— Jesus,” Cronick told us. “That’s why I never printed it. I also talked to people who were there who also said that they did not hear her say it either.”
Cronick says his paper will be addressing all of this and more in Friday’s editions. One wonders if the Associated Press is going to pick up this story at some point. As for Jacobson …
We’re hearing that on Friday, after the video was making the internet rounds, she was called into John Skipper’s office, and they watched the footage that ESPN has. At that point, it was determined she’d be suspended for this week. However, she was never slated to host First and Ten this week, but rather she was supposed to be on X-Games duty. It remains to be seen whether she’ll appear in any of that coverage at all. Also in jeopardy - her participation in ESPN the Weekend in Orlando at the end of this month.
If you’re wondering about the photo, Jacobson is featured this month on the cover of Hartford Monthly as one of the city’s most eligible singles.

I’m thinking there may be a love connection with the former editor of Golfweek.

This is all so stupid. It was a roast. As long as she didn’t drive home, who gives a flying eff…

and if she did why does Bill Donohue give a shit. She didnt say fuck catholics, man this type of shit pisses me off. This is the same religious institution that simply transferred priests when they had been accused of molesting children. Now that’s saying “F Jesus”

Here we go again . . .

“I never heard Dana Jacobson say F— Jesus,†Cronick told us … is just a bit different from “Writer: Dana Jacobson Didn’t Say It”
Nice sleight of hand, TBL

Can we please move on past this horse? Really…does anyone give a shit? NO.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Cronick, great last name

I’m one of the least PC people to walk the earth but, sorry, “Fuck Jesus” is absolutely offensive. And, I don’t buy the whole “she was drunk” defense. No…she still said it. I realize we live in an atmosphere in which denigrating Christians–and particularly the Catholic Church–is accepted, but really…
Having said that, I don’t think anyone needs to be fired. It was a mistake. A big mistake. But, I’m inclined to let that go. Now the question is, will the advertisers and viewers let it go as well.

Hartford’s most eligible? That’s not saying a whole lot for the city of Hartford.
Also, isn’t calling her “one of the most eligible singles” like saying she hasn’t seen a wang in months/years?
Hell yea she’s eligible, because nobody is interested.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
well i guess its clear then that catholics are all big losers who need to calm the fuck down before they drag this country into the stone age.
any more pictures of tebow’s big titted girlfriend?

I need to move to Hartford, not so I can try and bang old horse face jacobson, but if she can be one of the most eligible singles, I may have a chance at something.

Isn’t it great that the internet provides a forum for those who have absolutely nothing (sorry–nothing of value) to add?
January 24th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
the internet is a great medium. perhaps the best ever.

As CoRM stated, it’s a roast.
But let’s look at it further: It was a company-sponsored event. So she likely didn’t get a choice in the matter and had to attend. Add the fact that Greenberg and Golic have a limited number of things you can make fun of them for (one’s fat! one’s metrosexual!). On top of which, the people getting up on stage aren’t comedians and their sense of humor cannot be that exciting. (Who honestly thinks Jay Crawford is getting up there and turning into Dave Chappelle?) And that was just 1 guy. Throw in athletes and coaches (people whose sense of humor makes Dane Cook seem like George Carlin) and what you got is a boring, annoying event featuring two boring people and full of self-important pains-in-the-asses — and you can’t get out of it cause your bosses demand you be a part.
So what do most people do at such events? They drink. And drink. And drink.
And eventually that drink’s got to come out of somewhere.

I’d burn the Koran on live TV to get suspended from doing X-Games duty
January 24th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Butters, that has to be a top 5 comment today. Well done, sir.
January 24th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Maybe she is one of the most eligible singles for the lesbian community
January 24th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
“fuck Jesus” is offensive, but then again, if you’re offended, you have your own issues
January 24th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
I don’t think the guys at ESPN are wringing their hands over how to replace Dana Jacobson. My God, is that Erin Andrews’ music????
January 24th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Well, I wanted to stay out of this, but…never mind. A lot worse has been done to Me, so if that’s what Dana Jacobsen thinks, that’s on her. I will simply turn the other cheek and move on.
For the record - I do appreciate people sticking up for me, but honestly, they need to keep the Big Picture in mind. Someone doggin’ Me out is not the worst thing in the world (or afterworld).

+1 Jesus
January 24th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
I doubt anyone cares if someone says “F (that Scientology alien)”
Who cares if its Jesus?
January 24th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
As long as you’re commenting, Jesus, why do you and your Dad hate gay people? With all the “love your fellow man” stuff, I totally figured you were gay. And if you hate gays so much, why couldn’t you have taken Golic instead of Heath Ledger…Wait, Golic’s the fat one?

@Jesus: Eat a dick.
January 24th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Fuck L. Ron Hubbard.
January 24th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Jesus wears jorts.
Let’s see where that gets me.
January 24th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Jesus loves Erin Andrew’s ass.
January 24th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Erin Andrews’ ass is proof that Jesus loves me.
January 24th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
And, I’m going to remove myself from this thread before I get struck by lightning.
January 24th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Jacobson was probably so drunk she doesn’t know what she said. Interesting that no one who was at the roast is coming to her defense and denying she said it. ESPN put the Kibosh on this one.
January 24th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Nice Avatar 412. Quality work on your part for once.

Fuck Charlie Weis for letting her say that 15 feet from her. Man up. Take her on in a wing eating contest for the right to tell who and what needs to be fucked off.
January 24th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
More dick jokes please
January 24th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
If Dana Jacobsen never made that comment, why was she apologizing left and right yesterday? Why didn’t she come out and say “I never said F Jesus”?
January 24th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Fuck Dana Jacobsen
