ESPN offered up an apology for an insensitive Jeremy Lin headline this morning.

Last night, ESPN.com’s mobile web site posted an offensive headline referencing Jeremy Lin at 2:30 am ET. The headline was removed at 3:05 am ET. We are conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to ensure this does not happen again. We regret and apologize for this mistake.

Following a Knick loss last night this was posted on ESPN's mobile site.

For a network that blankets the NBA and a story that is as big as Jeremy Lin's, this can't be good.
