ESPN sportscaster Tony Kornheiser is catching flack for what some say are racist comments made about the Spanish-language broadcast of last week's "Monday Night Football" game. During the broadcast, following a Spanish-language promo for the show, Kornheiser said, "I took high-school Spanish--either he said he's not going to be caught, or please pick up my dry cleaning tomorrow."
