Mike Tannenbaum raises eyebrows with Brian Windhorst weight dig


ESPN NFL analyst Mike Tannenbaum raised some eyebrows when he cracked a crude joke about NBA senior writer Brian Windhorst on “Get Up” Friday morning.

The moment occurred during a segment, “Are You Convinced?” when Dan Graziano, filling in for host Mike Greenberg, asked Tannenbaum if he thought Aaron Rodgers would lead the Steelers to their first playoff win since the 2016 season.

“No,” Tannenbaum said as laughter was heard in the background. “I’m more convinced that Windy is in the cafeteria right now.”

Windhorst, who recently made headlines after LeBron James publicly trolled him, was in the studio and appeared on Friday’s show — however, he was not involved in that particular segment.

“No idea where Windy is,” Graziano added.

Some viewers were curious about Tannenbaum’s joke.

“Did Mike Tannenbaum just make fun of Brian Windhorst’s weight on national TV?” one person wrote on X, including a clip of the moment.

“Is this inside joke that Windhorst hates the ESPN cafeteria?” another said.

Earlier in the show, everyone was busting Windhorst for walking into a live camera shot.

Graziano called out Windhorst after he unknowingly walked behind him while on the air.

“Windy is a little lost in the new studio,” ESPN wrote, including a clip of the moment on social media.

ESPN’s morning shows, including “Get Up” and “First Take,” moved from its Seaport Studios home to 7 Hudson Square in Lower Manhattan this month.

Tannenbaum, a former GM for the Jets, didn’t clarify if his joke was related related to Windhorst’s camera mishap.

During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” in March, James publicly criticized Windhorst, calling him “weird” and questioning his portrayal of their relationship.

“This guy who says he’s like my f–king best friend, these guys are just weird,” James said.

Windhorst has extensively covered James’ career since his high school days.
