    If she wants to dress like that, fine. Just put her behind a desk so no one else can see how absolutely hideous it is.
     
  2. In a former life, I got to know Tony a bit. And it's true, he is a legitimate grouch and can be bitter, mean and hold a grudge forever. I was on the receiving end of some of the mean part once or twice. And yes, he gets away with a lot of it because he's also brilliant and funny.

    But the man also has a wide range of loyal friends in this business, people well-known for being good people, from Wilbon to Mike Littwin to Michelle Tafoya, and scores of others. And, when he thinks it's deserving, he's kind and helpful. I was also on the receiving end of that.

    He's a complex guy. And ultimately the schtick - I'm a jerk, and I know it - works for a lot of people. He's kind of a poor man's David Letterman.

    Except on Monday Night Football where he was banal, tedious and, yes, excruciatingly unfunny.

    TK was sooooo unhappy in that gig.

    So sad.

    . . . though not unhappy enough to forego cashing the checks.

    Two weeks is absurd for ripping Storm's clothing. The two weeks are an appeasement to Berman and his negotiations.

    This was my reaction. Just because her outfit is inappropriate doesn't mean you have to be a jerk about it. Unless, of course, being a jerk is now part of your job description.

    Can somebody give me on good reason to watch PTI, ATH or any other ESPN bullshit other than actual game coverage?

    How about Hannah in a habit and beads. That will make your heart race.

    No. That will make me think of getting smacked across the knuckles with a ruler.
     
  12. Tony said on Fridays radio show that he called Hannah and apologized. And if. I remember correctly, espn even banned her from wearing those boots again, so Tony asked her to send him the boots so they could display them in the background of PTI. So I'm pretty sure Hannah wasn't too upset about the comments.
