An ESPN “SportsCenter” anchor is not happy with right-wing talk show host Laura Ingraham.
Ingraham took issue with Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning publicly apologizing to ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe. Arch Manning referenced an AI video of Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian slapping the ESPN sideline reporter. Manning said that he found it “hilarious.”
Arch Manning issued an apology on Tuesday.
“In my press conference yesterday, I made an insensitive comment about an AI video,” Manning said in his post. “There is nothing funny about it. It’s easy to say I didn’t mean it, but I know my words and actions were hurtful to a lot of people. I do not take that lightly and am deeply sorry for that.
“I specifically want to apologize to Holly Rowe for what she has personally had to deal with because of my comments. I have a ton of respect for her and appreciate her showing me grace in this moment. I need to do better and will be more thoughtful going forward.”
Rowe announced that she was accepting the apology.
“Thank you Arch,” Rowe posted. “I appreciate our conversation about this — which will remain private. Apology accepted. We move forward with respect and kindness for one another.”

Ingraham, though, took issue with the whole thing.
“Embarrassing. For an veteran sideline reporter to extract an apology from a young player for an innocent offhand comment about an AI video is absurd,” she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
‘SportsCenter’ host calls her out
ESPN “SportsCenter” host Randy Scott took issue with Ingraham’s comment, accusing her of seeking attention.
“Laura’s back in sports, folks!” he wrote.
He added a GIF with the caption: “I just missed the attention I used to get.”
The Arch Manning, Holly Rowe is dominating the sports and political world conversations right now, like them or not.
