Dana Jacobson, host of ESPN2's morning show "First Take", was suspended because she got hammered at the celebrity roast for Mike and Mike on Jan. 11. Apparently she went to the podium drinking directly from a bottle of vodka and decided to go after Mike Golic's alma mater, Notre Dame.This is what happens when people that aren't paid to be comedians are asked to "roast" a peer, they get nervous, get drunk, and say something that isn't that funny. In Jacobson's case, it was the following witty gem. "F*#% Notre Dame, F*#% Touchdown Jesus." She was suspended a week and is under fire from the Catholic league (there is some controversy as to whether or not she said "f#%* Jesus"). While I do not agree with how she phrased it, I have to admit, I agree 100% with her sentiments toward ND.
Here is a quote from the reporter in attendance that first wrote about her outburst:
"She was out of control," Cronick said. "When she started slugging vodka straight from the bottle, the whole crowd just groaned. Most people in the audience, including me, felt bad for (Notre Dame head coach) Charlie Weis, because he was sitting right next to the podium and she was just going off on him and Notre Dame. They got her off the stage once, but she somehow found her way back to the stage and just dug her hole deeper."

That is sweet. That is my only comment. Other than, "Is it just me or is a woman guzzling vodka out of the bottle sexy?" --Maybe I need to go to AlAnon, I seem to be attracted drunken whores.
