Tony Kornheiser of PTI has been suspended from his nightly TV show for 2 weeks after hilarious remarks about Hannah Storm (Above left) and her outfit on Sportscenter this morning.  Storm often dresses in skirts and casual attire rather than trying to dress like a new anchor.

Kornheiser’s Remarks:

“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.”

All I can do is laugh.  He didn’t say anything all that offensive about Storm.  But the words definitely merit a suspension.  ESPN personalities too often talk trash on other ESPN personalities, this is ESPN’s step to curve that.

On another note, at 47, Hannah Storm looks fantastic and should feel empowered to wear whatever she wants as long as ESPN approves it.  And while PTI is usually garbage unless it’s Wilbon and Kornheiser, it seems like at least 50% of the time one of them is unavailable or on vacation.  So a replacement for Kornheiser for 2 weeks is nothing new.  He will not be suspended from his radio show.
