Dan Le Batard Apologizes To ESPN Broadcaster For 'Wildly Embarrassing' Comment

Radio host Dan Le Batard issued a public apology to one of his former ESPN colleagues earlier this week.

During this past Monday's episode of "The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz," a producer mentioned that Pablo Torre was upset with his Meadowlark Media teammates for not watching a podcast episode on Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game.

Le Batard's response for Torre caused quite the stir on social media. It was supposed to be a playful jab, but it didn't come off that way to some.

"Pablo needs to just do his job and not complain about what we’re doing around here," Le Batard said, via Barrett Media.

Le Batard revealed that his comments about Torre took on a life of their own to the point where Mina Kimes reached out to see if there was a feud behind the scenes.

On Wednesday, Le Batard apologized to Torre for his snarky comment. He called it one of the most embarrassing moments of his career.

"A lot of people thought this because of something that happened on air this week. And it’s just totally my bad that that’s how that came out," Le Batard said, via Awful Announcing. "Because I’m not kidding you when I say professionally and personally, wildly embarrassing to me that any of that would land on Pablo because the work that he’s doing is singular and it’s extraordinary."

Just so everyone's clear, there's no beef between Le Batard and Torre.

Torre, a longtime contributor to ESPN's "Around the Horn" and "High Noon," remains awfully close with Le Batard and his crew.
