Charlie Weis Finally Chimes in on Dana Jacobson
College Football, ESPN, REligion February 11th. 2008, 12:29pm
Happened while we were gone, but we’re going to leap at any opportunity to post this photo. Buried in a Chicago Sun-Times notebook Saturday: ”I was personally and professionally offended by her comments,” Weis said. ”If the situation were reversed, I would have been the lead story on ‘SportsCenter,’ and I would have been fired. Other than that, the university has issued an official response, and I’ll leave it at that.”
Assuming she only said ‘F Notre Dame’ and ‘F Touchdown Jesus’ … Weis does realize he was attending a roast, right? And situation reversed? We can’t recall a time that a professional or college coach cracked jokes at a roast, so there’d be no reason for Baby Tuna to be blitzed and cursing with the cameras rolling. Anyone know when the next ESPN roast is? We will certainly pay for a ticket or contribute to the necessary foundation/charitable cause for a seat - so we can live-blog it!

If the situation were reversed, he’d be eating, just like he was.
Also, it’s good to know that Weis has never sworn at a kid before. Or called the kid a son of a bitch.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Weis is far, far off on this. Everyone knows the only way a Notre Dame coach could ever get fired is if he was black!
February 11th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
That joke is about as old as the no one gives a crap about hockey joke.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Did Golic go to Notre Dame or something?
February 11th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
This is funny.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
That is an outstanding picture. I thank God everyday I’m not a celebrity and have pictures of similar imbibing posted for the world to see.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
does weiss if the situation was reversed and he was working at espn and jacobson was the coach of ND he’d be fired?
with his effervescence is really surprising more people are fans of notre dame football. everything about that place is so likable.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Golic went to Notre Dame, yes.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Instead of Dana getting her Goose on, it would be a pic of Weis guzzling from the gravy boat.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I was pretty deeply f***ing offended myself.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
weiss probably would rip his jacket if he tried to throw the bottle up like that.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
The minute Golic’s daughter verbals to Notre Dame, Lemming will make her a four-star recruit.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Charlie your weight is offensive. Get on a treadmill.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I never thought it was possible, but I actually hate ND even more now.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
This is what I love about the media. You make assinine comments about Notre Dame. And now all of the sudden the Notre Dame coach has to respond to your comments, and it’s newsworthy. This is what people mean when they say that “ESPN creates news” in a nutshell.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
TBL — I have a request — can you please create a post of a faux Charlie Weis roast? You can start off with a few, and let the peanut gallery come in with the rest. I can get it started: Hey Charlie, how many times per season do you alone eat the entire pre-game team meal?
Rule No. 1 — nothing is off limits at a roast, and all persons should be granted full immunity (imagine what a roast of Irishmafia would be like - lol).
P.S. — how long has it taken for us to be a humorless society?
February 11th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Charlie is also offended by salad bars, Healthy Choice steamers, fruit, vegetables, one size fits all tshirts and snack bars with no nachos.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
@Benji: Fat guyyyyyyy in a little coat!
February 11th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Charlie finds 330-calorie Lean Cuisine pizzas as offensive as non-blocking offensive line.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Hey Charlie — why don’t you quit food like Bobby Knight quits on seasons?
February 11th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
IUgrad…i think youre being a little harsh. snack bars without nachos are fucking bullshit.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Charlie, Notre Dame will get over Dana’s drunk rants at a roast.
What they won’t get over is you coaching them into Duke/Temple/Washington Generals territory.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
JGP, I don’t quite understand your point, but you seem to always find a way to work ESPN bashing in somewhere.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Gluttony is a sin, Charlie. It’s equally as bad as using the Lord’s name in vain.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Charlie should have been in those Burger King commercials when customers ordered the Whopper. That tirade would have nothing on Jacobsen.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Two things you will never hear Charlis Weis say
1.Rebuilding
2.Hi I’m Charlie Weis, and I lost 200 pounds on Weight Watchers!
February 11th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Charlie forgot to apply the opposite logic, that if Dana Jacobson were actually a comedienne, no one would say anything because IT WAS A ROAST, where people make inappropriate jokes.
I hope they roast Weis and Lisa Lampanelli agrees to do the roast. That would be worth going to
February 11th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
I’m confused about Weis relinquisting playcalling duties. While I’m impressed he owned up to their failures, what ever happened to his “decided schematic advantage” he professed to give the Irish?
February 11th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Top Current Roasters: Jeff Ross, Lisa Lampanelli, Nick Dipaulo, Jimmy Kimmel, Greg Giraldo. Now that I think about it, I think they’re the only roasters.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
@cursedcleveland - Don Rickles is offended you forgot him. The man is a legend after all. Who the fhuck is Nick Dipaulo?
February 11th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Yes, he is a legend. I was focusing on the current roasters. Do a youtube search for Nick. And check this out in the process, Pauley Shore dealing with a heckler - terrific ending: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gWeV8ZR3wUg&feature=related
February 11th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
lisa lampenelli is hilarious
February 11th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
because she banged a Chicago Bear, or because she’s just funny?
February 11th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
@TBL:
Yes
February 11th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Was on of the Berman videso CorM posted over the weekend the one about him talking about smuggling codeine in from Canada, eh?
February 11th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
You know, I don’t see what he said as being a bad thing or a good thing. I mean, he didn’t go crazy and call for his job, he just stated a simple opinion when asked a question. Whats so wrong with that? He wasn’t protesting or marching on washington, it was a question in an article that deal with play calling duties of all things.
And judging from the comments you guys have made, hardly any of which actually dealing with what he said, you just wanted a reason to make fun of him and notre dame; which I’m cool with but still… Charlie Weiss may be an ass for several things (having a ’strategical advantage being one of them) but not for his thoughts on Dana Jacobson.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
*call her her job… typo, but she kinda looks like a he
February 11th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
@cursedcleveland - The only Nick Dipaolo clips on Youtube are short an no longer than 15 seconds. I’d find this however. Mildly amusing, but not funny. To be perfectly honest, I think Artie Lang should be ticked that Mr. Di Paolo is stealing his act.
By the way, video is NSFW.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I’m sure if Weis pulls off another stinker of a season he will be fired for sucking it up. Maybe he should concentrate on fielding a team that doens’t offend ND fans…
February 11th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Yucko the Clown and Lisa Lampenelli are two of the funniest people i have heard. If people have never heard Yucko, just go to youtube and search for Yucko. Priceless comedy
February 11th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
@ CBH:
Yeah I liked that Berman Video about the codeine. He was trying to be cool saying deux deux deux. When no one asked him to explain what that meant, he had to explain the punchline, therefore ruining the joke.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
@justin: The reason we’re dismissing Dana’s rant is because…wait, let me get ready…
…it was a ROAST. An event where you put down, insult, denigrate, smear and fillet the guest(s) of honor. Everything is on the table: mothers, schools, appearance, public past. Everything.
Being offended at a roaster’s comments is like being offended at swearing during a hip-hop concert.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Artie and Nick are actually really good friends. So I doubt they mind the occasional act thievery!
February 11th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
I did learn to put illegal contraband in the corners of my suitcase.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
As opposed to legal contraband, which can go wherever.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
You’re funny Ben.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Awww shucks cbh, you’re making me blush.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
i would like to cast a spell on charlie weiss so that from no on he could only answer reporters questions with belches.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
If Dana was the ND coach, she’d have been fired for that horrendous season.
