Shortly after Bob Griese made his “infamous” remark about Juan Pablo Montoya “out eating a taco” during a game this past weekend, the NASCAR driver dismissed the remark and brushed it off as no big deal.
(Unfortunately for Griese, ESPN didn’t do the same as he was suspended for this week’s game.)
In an attempt to further show that Griese’s taco blast was an innocuous, albeit unfunny, attempt at humor, Montoya took to the new bastion of social chatter today.
According to Doug Demmons of the Birmingham News, Montoya sent out a tweet giving his followers a little insight into his life. And his dietary habits.
“Guess what I’m having for lunch…..TACOS!!!!!….and I’m serious about it!!!!“
And there you have it. Officially, officially the end of TacoGate…
I think he will still get a Taco Bell Sponsorship out of this
I love Montoya! The guy is awesome.
To be fair to Griese, once he found out Montoya was Colombian and not Mexican, he quipped, “if I had known that I would have said he was out back snorting yayo”.
I wish all high profile media personalities like Montoya would act this way when a comment slips like this.
Thank goodness there is no Latin Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.
Well at least not yet ………..
