On his radio show Last week, ESPN personality Tony Kornheiser offered an unsolicited, frank assessment of SportsCenter cohost Hannah Storm's fashion choices.

"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 47.] "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."

A few days later ESPN higher-up Norby Williamson issued the following statement (via SBB):

"Hannah is a consummate professional and one of ESPN's most respected voices. The comments were totally inappropriate, which Tony recognized. He apologized to Hannah and addressed it on his radio show. We are in the process of reviewing the entire situation. "

And Mr. Tony also talked to Storm on the phone to make with the mea culpa.

"I apologize unequivocally. ... I was wrong. This is sort of what I do, and I'm sorry for it. ... Not the first time and won't be the last time but I apology for it this time."


To recap: Storm has questionable fashion sense but her stunning beauty more than makes up for it. Kornheiser sports a combover.
