Add The New York Post on Google In a week of controversy for Texas quarterback Arch Manning, one ESPN host implores he learn from his mistake and be better going forward.

Manning came under fire when he smiled and laughed during a press conference earlier this week as he talked about watching an AI-generated video that showed Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe.

On Wednesday’s edition of “First Take,” host Shae Cornette wanted to circle back to Manning’s initial attitude toward the AI video in which Rowe was hit.

"I do hope this was a strong learning lesson for him. You don't need to be laughing about a video that promotes violence, especially towards women" – Shae Cornette on Arch Manning pic.twitter.com/twwxVWZy9H
