ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Commentator John Feinstein will be back on the air for Saturday's Navy-Air Force game despite uttering an obscenity during the radio broadcast of last week's Navy game.
"No one feels worse about this than John. He made a mistake," Navy spokesman Scott Strasemeier said Tuesday.
Feinstein is a noted author of books about sports, including basketball, golf and the football rivalry between Army and Navy, titled A Civil War: Army vs. Navy.
During the broadcast, Feinstein directed a profanity at the referees after a play. Feinstein pulled himself from the rest of the broadcast, offered an on-air apology at the end of the game and immediately offered his resignation, which was rejected.
