Weis Allegedly Refuses Dana Jacobson’s Apology

You might have forgotten that Notre Dame was the target of Dana Jacobson’s vodka-fueled rant during the Mike & Mike Morning Show Roast back in January. To refresh your memory, Charlie Weis was in attendance that night, and got to hear a sloppy drunk Jacobson yell “F— Notre Dame” and “F— Touchdown Jesus“, before closing with, “F— Jesus!

Jacobson later apologized publicly to Weis, Notre Dame, Catholics, Jesus and pretty much anyone else. But THE BIG LEAD is reporting that wasn’t enough for one person. According to one of their sources who is “close to Notre Dame,” Weis allegedly refused to accept a hand-written letter of apology from Jacobson and responded by writing her a scalding letter of his own ripping her professionalism.

While this might seem odd, Weis also seems like the type of person who writes a lot of angry letters, kind of like my Grandfather, who would write to any company he thought had remotely shafted him in any way (not enough orange flavor in his Metamucil, Hometown Buffet was out of roast beef, etc).

Jacobson allegedly wasn’t the only person who felt the need to apologize to Weis. THE BIG LEAD is claiming that Trey Wingo also sent Weis a hand-written note of apology, after he used a derogatory phrase which offended Weis (possibly “retard” - Weis has a special-needs daughter). According to THE BIG LEAD’s source, Weis accepted that apology, sending Wingo back a hand-written note signed by his family.

If this story is true, it’s presents an interesting dichotomy: Allegedly, Weis is willing to forgive and forget when it comes to something offensive that involves his family, but not when it comes to something involving Notre Dame. However, it doesn’t teach us anything new about Weis being a grumpy, humorless man - that we knew already.
