Network spokesman Josh Krulewitz said Griese would not be working a college football game this week. Krulewitz said ESPN has spoken to Griese and "he understands the comment was inappropriate."

During ESPN's coverage of the Minnesota-Ohio State game on Saturday, a graphic was shown listing the top five drivers in NASCAR's points race. Fellow analyst Chris Spielman asked: Where was Montoya?

Griese replied, "Out having a taco."

The former Miami Dolphins quarterback has twice apologized on telecasts for the remark.

Montoya, a Colombian, declined to comment on Griese's suspension. He brushed off the remark on Sunday, saying he'd never heard of Griese.
