Dana Jacobson, Jesus Comments

You may have heard that fellow ’93 Michigan grad Dana Jacobson had a rough night in Atlantic City last month. It was at the roast for ESPN’s Mike Greenberg & Mike Golic, and according to various accounts Dana was seen taking pulls of vodka and stammering around. She then started to dump on Notre Dame (Golic’s alma mater) and decided to go all in:

“f*** Notre dame”
“f*** touchdown Jesus”
and – the step-aside-because-lightning-is-about-to-strike… “f*** Jesus.”

And there you have it. Apparently, she realized the gravity of the comment because she took the time to warn everybody. She was promptly booed off the stage.

Take: We all hate Notre Dame, but typically that doesn’t extend beyond the football team. Heck, Bo even said ‘To Hell with Notre Dame’. As far as Jesus? None of my business but I think it’s ok for people to love the real Jesus and hate Touchdown Jesus at the same time.

All in all, this is a case of people getting their pants in a bunch over nothing. Forget about whether she was drunk or not, she knew she needed to come strong to hang with the comedians in the room and of course flamed out. I mean, does anyone really think that Jacobson (or anyone else) hates Jesus? I thought Jews and Muslims still hold Jesus in high regard. She probably ran the joke by her knucklehead First Take co-host Jay Crawford. While we probably won’t get a quote from JC forgiving DJ for her comments, I think it’s safe to say we should relax and move on.
