    Women need to get even when horrible things like this happen.

    They need to sexually harass right back.

    The man refers to himself as "Woody".....and we're surprised he's been accused of sexual harrassment?

    Commercial opens...

    Company softball game.

    Stuart Scott announcing with Dan Patrick

    Camera pans to the left, Chris Henry at-bat, but focused on talking to some females in the stands

    "Hey baby, you wanna go to the club? I'll drive home," Henry says.

    Camera pans to the right, Albert Pujols is on the on-deck circle getting ready for his at-bat.

    Mr. Met throws an inside pitch to Henry that he couldn't hit.

    "You know Dan, that hasn't been the first time Henry's been handcuffed," Scott says.

    They are about to pitch the next ball, but dollar bills start to fall from the sky. Umpire waves the pitch off and calls the game.

    Everybody starts to go home, Stuart Scott walks by Pac-Man Jones...

    "You just had to make it rain didn't you?"

    Commerical ends. This is SportsCenter.

    I'm just wondering why this hasn't been a lead story on sportscenter, complete with legal analysis, the repercussions for Woody and Jay as well as their pictures and the smart alec blowhard anchors giving their mostly worthless two cents at the tail end of the story about what an outrage this is if true.

    Still waiting to see some mention of the story on espn.com, or on Sportscenter, but I won't hold my breath.
    Wonder why Jemele Hill hasn't jumped all over this ... oh, wait ... because she works for them.
    I know you read this Jemele, so if you come across this post, here's my question: will you ever write a column about the apparent culture of sexual harassment at espn? Tirico, Reynolds and now this. Tough when you dance with the devil, isn't it?

    With so many "experts" it's hard to keep track, but I thought the WWL cut its ties with The Playmaker.

    Also, that little black board on Woody's right shoulder on his ATH appearances ... would love it if somebody snuck in and wrote "Just A Pinch" as the message of the day.

    I can't imagine her wanting to take this one on. What if she hasn't been harrassed at all in her time there? Is she even in Bristol much? If she writes a column saying she's never seen any of this, even if it is the absolute truth, then she'll get ripped for being a mouthpiece for the company.

    Why is Jemele more obligated than any other ESPN columnist/employee to write about this? Because only a woman can see the evils of sexual harassment? The guys can just look the other way because it's not their problem?
