Well, it didn’t take long for ESPN to act on Desmond Howard’s vulgar comment uttered during College GameDay on Saturday morning.
During a segment on the Week 0 production of College GameDay, the former Heisman Trophy winner-turned college football analyst made an oddly vulgar comment. The phrase “Is Desmond Howard gonna have to choke a (expletive),” came from Howard, causing an awkward scene on the GameDay set.
Shortly after that, Howard apologized for his comments, saying he is a big fan of Wayne Brady and it was meant as a joke.
“Earlier today in the show, I’m a big Wayne Brady fan and I made a comment that was supposed to be taken as a joke,” Howard said. “If I offended anybody, I apologize. We can move on with the show.”
