BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — ESPN has suspended host Tony Kornheiser from his television talk show Pardon the Interruption for comments he made on the radio last week about SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm's clothing. Kornheiser announced the suspension on his Washington D.C. radio show Tuesday morning, calling his remarks about Storm intemperate and stupid. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz, while confirming the suspension, declined to say how long the suspension would be. He said the network would likely have a statement later Tuesday. Kornheiser described an outfit Storm was wearing at ESPN last week as horrifying, saying her shirt was too tight and looked "like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body." Kornheiser said he had called Storm to personally apologize for the remarks. |

I just saw Hannah on The Sports Reporters on Sunday. Unlike most men my age,I DO find 40-something women quite attractive. I thought she looked good. Isn't she married to Dick Stockton? |

Well, I happen to agree with Mr. Tony. She's 47 years old and she dresses like a teenager. We ladies just have to accept that past a certain age we do NOT dress like that for WORK. It doesn't matter that she's thin enough to pull of the look, she's too damn old to attempt it. I've bitched every Sunday morning about her appearance since she started on Sportscenter. She thinks she's still doing Olympic coverage with Jim Lampley in whatever fuck that year was....92? While I have enjoyed Dan Lebatard's filling in on PTI (BAM! ) I didn't know why he was there until tonight. Here's the NY Post article: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%25 ... 821&ref=nf For them to even compare this to Steve Phillips' "actions" is reprehensible at best. All hail the mothership, indeed! |

I saw the comments and the outfit, but does anyone know where the video of the show is? |

It's a little ridiculous that someone says something on a show or in a video and suddenly that's news. He shouldn't have put in the bit about the sausage casing and Holden Caulfield fantasy. |
