Poor guy...I think what he said was wrong and he apologized, but I do not think ESPN had to take it as far as they did in suspending him. Guess when you make a remark about another ESPN person, that's where it's tough not to do otherwise...


ESPN has suspended "Pardon The Interruption" co-host Tony Kornheiser for two weeks following comments he made on his Washington-based radio show last week.

On his radio show, Kornheiser made critical comments about the wardrobe of morning "SportsCenter" co-anchor Hannah Storm.

Just to recap for the uninitiated:

"Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She's got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt ... way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now...She's got on her typically very, very tight shirt. She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body ... I know she's very good, and I'm not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won't ... but Hannah Storm ... come on now! Stop! What are you doing? ... She's what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point."

****, that sucks. I love the guy. I've always questioned what Hannah wore from time to time as well. Some of her outfits are ridiculous. This story just makes me laugh


(btw, has there always been a language filter? I don't remember the word d a m n being censored before.)

Just keep him off of prime time football broadcasts. I enjoy his insight on day time television, but his play by play (or is it color?) commentary leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

He did suck on MNF, but is great on PTI

Eh, I don't think you should be able to insult a coworker on national radio and not expect some sort of punishment.

]Kornheiser may well have been railroaded by whichever members of ESPN's high court also serve on Chris Berman's bowling team, but I think we can all agree on one thing: T.K. is a man who has richly earned his railroading.

Hysterical. I love it. Very true....However, there is a time and place to make such a comment, and national tv or radio is not the place. He definitely needs his hands slapped, but it's worth it. The truth does hurt. One of the 'things' that gets me is women who still dress and try to look 20 years younger. They come off looking like hookers and need to be called out...obviously their mothers didn't see them going out the door that way..:D

Not without some hesitation. xwhistlex

Anyone see what she was wearing this morning?! F'ing camouflage! It was crazy, I could hear her talking but it took me a minute to be able to find her on the screen. F'in camo!
We need to turn this into the "WTH is Hannah Storm wearing today" thread.
