ESPN suspends Kornheiser for 'inappropriate' comments

ESPN has suspended Tony Kornheiser from "Pardon the Interruption" for two weeks after comments he made on his radio show poking fun at the wardrobe of SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm.

Kornheiser revealed the network's action on his radio show Tuesday, referencing his "intemperate and stupid remarks" about Storm. He had apologized directly to Storm and on the air but still was "sent to the sidelines" for two weeks.

Last week Kornheiser called Storm's outfit "horrifying" and said she wore a "typically very, very tight shirt so she looks like she's got a sausage casing wrapped around her upper body."

He said her "Catholic school plaid skirt" was "way too short for somebody" her age. Storm is 47.

During his comments about Storm, Kornheiser also made a thinly veiled reference to ESPN host Chris Berman's weight.

"Tony Kornheiser's comments about Hannah Storm were entirely inappropriate," said John Skipper, ESPN's executive vice president for content.

"Hurtful and personal comments such as these are not acceptable and have significant consequences. Tony has been suspended from PTI for two weeks. Hannah is a respected colleague who has been an integral part of the success of our morning SportsCenter."
