They just announced it on ESPN. I guess he said something about Hannah Storm's attire on his radio show.

I can only imagine where he went with that. Doesn't she usually wear something on the order of a skimpy dress?

Wonder what he said though, heh

    OK, I just looked it up. I guess he said:

    Last week Kornheiser described: “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” (and more).

    (doesn't seem that bad to me, heck, he's right on the money!)

    ESPN has suspended host Tony Kornheiser from his television talk show ``Pardon the Interruption'' for two weeks 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.

    ``As the result of this, I have been sent to the sidelines of PTI for a while,'' Kornheiser said.

    In a written release Tuesday, ESPN called Kornheiser's comments inappropriate.

    ``Hurtful and personal comments such as these are not acceptable and have significant consequences,'' said John Skipper, ESPN's vice president for content. ``Tony has been suspended from PTI for two weeks. Hannah is a respected colleague who has been an integral part of the success of our morning SportsCenter.''

    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.

    ``If you put a live microphone in front of somebody, eventually that person will say something wrong,'' Kornheiser said on his show Tuesday. ``This was one of the times I said something wrong.''

    Storm declined to comment, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said.

    ESPN has been troubled by a series of workplace issues involving alleged misconduct by its television personalities, though they have involved behavior off the air.

    Kornheiser has always been a moron.
    Hannah Storm, on the other hand, has always been fairly attractive.
    Any pics of the red go-go boots and plaid skirt?

    Agreed..


    I can only wish to have been a fly on the wall when he "Personally called her and apoligized" Yea Hannah I meant no offense when I said your outfit looked like you had sausage casing wrapping around your upper body image

    Tony doesnt exactly look like the guy who has smoking chicks banging down his door - she could land him if she wanted image

    Kornheiser often gets into sexist sophomoric language at the opening of "PTI"
    with Tony trying to portray himself as Gods gift to women etc. The fact he made these stupid remarks
    is no surprise to me.

    Hannah Storm has a certain reputation that Tony K. was alluding to, that is how she climbed the ladder in her various jobs

    My guess is if he would have said this about a Fox network lady, it would have been fine to ESPN. LOL

    Tony isn't a moron, he can be entertaining and thoughtful, he just needs to ditch the Viagra prescription or keep his innuendos to himself. No one appreciates an older guy trying to be funny by sharing his off color thoughts with us. Hopefully he learned a lesson. Its painful sometime to watch Wilbon dodge his remarks or change the subject quickly.

    I like the boots.

    And a tight upper body sausage works for me, too.

    Yet, if he had cracked a similar joke about a male co-worker, he'd still be on the air.

    That brings up an interesting side question. What's everyones porn name? You get it by making your middle name your first name, and the name of your street your last name.

    I have what has to be absolutely the worst porn name of all time: Hershey Forest. I don't think you could buy a worse one than that.

    That's funny cause her name at Notre Dame was Hanna Storen. She became Hannah Storm for radio.

    she should have just dropped the "T" in her surname...as an alum, you'll get that.

    I heard you get it by using as your first name your first family pets' name and the name of your street as your last name.
