TORONTO — Former Sportsnet broadcaster Gregg Zaun is apologizing for “any harm or distress” his comments may have caused his female colleagues. The “absolute apology” — issued today by his Toronto-based lawyer, Stuart Ducoffe — comes four days after he was fired for what Sportsnet called “inappropriate behaviour and comments.”Sportsnet says it received complaints about Zaun’s behaviour from female employees. The former Toronto Blue Jays catcher began a part-time broadcasting career with Sportsnet following the 2006 season. He initially signed a two-year deal as a MLB studio analyst with Sportsnet in 2011 and continued working with the network until his termination. “I have been blindsided and emotionally gutted by the allegations and will continue to be regretful.
