Tony Kornheiser suspended for remarks

(February 23, 2010) ESPN has suspended Tony Kornheiser, current co-host of its daytime Pardon the Interruption talk show and a former Monday Night Football game analyst, network spokesman Mike Soltys said Tuesday. Kornheiser is on suspension for comments he made Friday about ESPN anchor Hannah Storm.

On his weekday local radio show on ESPN Radio's Washington, D.C. affiliate, Kornheiser Friday talked about what Storm was wearing on-air at the time.

He called her outfit "horrifying" and said her "very, very tight shirt" looked like "sausage casing" and that her "Catholic school plaid skirt" was "way too short for somebody" her age.

Kornheiser subsequently apologized to Storm and apologized on-air. Kornheiser missed PTI Monday as part of his suspension, the length of which has not yet been announced by ESPN.
