Kornheiser suspended for "slutty" remarks

So much for the three day suspension....

Looks more like a 2 week suspension. He's an ass wipe.

Kornheiser suspended for remarks
ESPN.com

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.

ESPN executive vice president of content John Skipper released the following statement:

"Tony Kornheiser's comments about Hannah Storm were entirely inappropriate. Hurtful and personal comments such as these are not acceptable and have significant consequences. 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 apologized for the remarks on his radio show Friday.

i have never liked him. His stint on MNF was unbearable for me. Glad he is suspended just so i dont have to watch him on pti. Anyone know if its suspended without pay?

What a moron. Come on Tony. I mean how can he mess up this bad? First the women he made the comments on is obviously very attractive, and not just for her age. Of course even if he was right the comments were at best 100 times more inappropriate then Hannahs outfit. And to top it off he said it on the air. At least Dana Jacobson had her asshat moment off camera.

What a turd Kornheiser is. His PA is a friend of mine. We went to grade school together. I always hold back on my opinions of him when I'm around her. All those faces behind him and Wilbon on PTI, when my friend had her first baby, his little face was on there. Pretty cool. I've been at events with Kornheiser. He's a nice enough guy, but too fond of his own voice. It was just plain stupid to rip Hannah Storm like that. Just god awful judgement.

dude's getting too old for this I think that I'm funny in an edgy way mess

Last week I was listening to him on my way to work, around 9:30-10am and he said something about Gilbert Arenas and his fall from grace with the Wizards. He said something to effect of "Eventually, Gilbert wanted his jersey hung at Verizon Center, but now people want to hang him from the rafters."

He didn't use it in the context that it suggests but I thought he may face some scrutiny for phrasing it like that even though it was an off the cuff remark.

So when I saw "susupended" I thought it was for that remark. It seems to me that Tony tries too hard to maintain his quirky personality and it is no longer candid. I'm a fan of anyone from the DC area though so I can't say that I hate the guy...he just seems irrelevant to me.


i heard that "hang em from the rafters" comment too and was like "daaaammmmnnnn" but i realized the context he said it in and dont think he meant a reference to the slave era.

listening to him this morning he said, "and coming up we'll have our sports segment of the show". really, you have to have a sports segment on your radio show which is broadcasted over espn radio?

im guessing the radio producer put this in just to force him talk alil bit of sports on his show otherwise its all about what movie he saw (5 mins today was about hurt locker until i changed the station).

:rolleyes:

"Wanna lick" :rofl:

Much too politically correct. He's basically does an entertainment show. It's entertainment much like stand up.

I guess it's ESPN's right to do it though.

I don't understand the suspension. Funny or not, who the fuck cares what he says about her? When it comes down to it, you can scan the dial and find any number of DJs saying much worse things about celebrities and co-workers. I'm not sure why this one warrants a two week suspension. Personally, I like Kornheiser in print and on PTI. I don't care for his radio show and I didn't hate him as much on MNF, but I didn't like him that much either.
