Daily Sport News:Tony Kornheiser Suspended Over Crass Remark

Article Summary:

Article Content:
I have to admit, I was relieved that Tony Kornheiser was not on Monday Night Football this year. His insight was mostly personal opinion, and much of it centered around being constantly amazed at the accomplishments Brett Favre. As a Packer fan who wanted to simply move on from “the Favre era,” hearing Aaron Rodgers constantly compared to Favre every play was a bit much.



It’s no secret, he’s not my favorite sportscaster. Still, I feel a bit bad for him since he was suspended from his radio show, Pardon the Interruption. Kornheiser did something people at home tend to do, which is get a little catty with what a fellow sportscaster had on. In this case, his remarks were directed to Hannah Storm, and there were way beyond catty to downright rude.

According to the Huffington Post, he said:

“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 …”

Did you cringe like I did? There’s more, if you can believe it, so be sure to read the rest over at the HuffPost. I happen to like Hannah Storm. I think she is sincerely one of the best sportscasters out there. I’ve enjoyed her take on things for years. I also think that if Hannah was a guy, her choice of outfits wouldn’t even come into question. (For example, I can think of one male sportscaster right now who always wears a tie, shirt, and coat that doesn’t match. Not at all. Is anyone going on about it? No way. They don’t even pay attention.)
