Not really Phin related, but ESPN just suspended Tony Kornheiser

From: Sporting News

Tony Kornheiser has been suspended as host of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" for comments he made on his radio show last week about Hannah Storm's wardrobe, according to several media reports.

Kornheiser apologized to Storm after making the remarks.

An ESPN spokesman says he will be suspended "for some time," which is expected to translate into a few days.

Kornheiser said Storm was wearing "a horrifying, horrifying outfit" and a "very, very tight shirt.

"She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body," he added. "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."

This was what he was referring to.

I kinda like TK

I think he is funny. If he was telling the truth, why is ESPN hating?

I'd like to see her and Linda Cohn take it to the octagon

With the winner taking on Dana Jacobson who would proceed to beat down either of them.

In fact lets team up Cohn and Storm in a handicap match versus Jacobson.

yea I only lived there for about a year

But even I think that city is a dump. Traffic is terrible they have been doing construction on the same part of the highway for ever. I lived in Cali and Miami too and there highways are nicer then Jacksonville. J-ville is a black-hole, if you don’t leave when you first get a chance your gonna get stuck there,
