The article failed to mentioned that she had a wee too much vodka before the rant. At least that is the version of the story I heard. From the quotes I read it sounded more like a rant against Notre Dame than a religion.

ESPN anchor Dana Jacobson made an absolute fool of herself, swilling vodka from a Belvedere bottle, mumbling along and cursing like a sailor as Mike & Mike rested their heads in their hands in embarrassment. [Comedian Eddie] Griffin came to the podium to defend her after she was booed by the crowd. Ross eventually had to pull her off stage, too.

Sounds more like toasted.

Dana Jacobson could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence with those teeth.

I stand corrected, I missed that part. I think the whole story is she got hammered and did/said something stupid.

This is part of an editorial at Christianity Today. It really made me think about the whole mess:

Groups like the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, the Catholic League, and the Christian Defense Coalition have been quick to point out the offensiveness of the statement, comparing it to bigoted statements about Jews, Muslims, or African Americans. While ESPN suspended Jacobson for a week, the Christian Defense Coalition’s director, the Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, called for more. “Her comments are so outrageous and inflammatory that the only proper response for ESPN is to immediately release her,” said Mahoney. “Suspension is simply not enough and sends a message that ESPN tolerates this kind of behavior and speech.”

Personally, I can’t see that firing Jacobson accomplishes much, besides showing that Christians can flex their muscles and get people fired just as well as any other group. “Bless those who persecute you,” Paul writes in Romans 12:14, “bless and do not curse.” As followers of Christ, we’d be better served by an ESPN-arranged meeting between Jacobson and a group of local pastors. She could apologize in person—something she’s already done in a prepared statement—and they could explain, with grace and understanding, why they accept her apology in the name of the one she denigrated.
