UPDATE I: Greg Anthony suspended indefinitely by CBS.

CBS announced Saturday morning that Anthony has been suspended indefinitely  following his arrest on solicitation charges.

A CBS spokeswoman says “Greg Anthony will not be working again for CBS this season.”

Turner Sports also suspended the TV commentator and says it “will have no further comment.”

UPDATE II: Greg Anthony issued an apology on Saturday to his wife, family and colleagues. 

How could some one just piss away their entire career like this? He has ruined his entire life over sex with a prostitute. UNREAL. Most likely this is the cockroach principle, for ever one you see, there are hundreds you do not.

“With this lapse of judgment, I embarrassed many, including myself,” he said. “I will work to regain the trust that I have lost, and the first step is saying that I am sorry.”
