Doesn't know that "You" is used in both the singular and plural
Seems like a marketing stint to get people like me to know who Hannah Storm is. Going by the pictures, this looks like a woman I'd sleep with, I don't know what that old fart is smoking, much less who he is.

Again, marketing ploy.

Gotta love Tony. PTI has been carrying ESPN early evening for about a decade now. Love that show.

ESPN is dope. I would also fuck Rachel Nichols.

Yes, she has a "please fuck me now" face. Would bone hannah and sage also.

Knowledge is power, guard it well
Rachel just needs to get her freaking hair done. She'd be banging with some curls, or even just straightened.

Not the first time he's said something outlandish.
During a Monday Night Football telecast on September 15, 2008, Kornheiser made a comment about a clip of the ESPN Deportes crew's call of a Felix Jones touchdown, saying, “I took high-school Spanish, and that either means ‘nobody is going to touch him’ or ‘could you pick up my dry cleaning in the morning.’” Later in the broadcast, Kornheiser apologized on-air for the remark.
Personally, he and Skip Bayless are two of the only anchors/TV personalities that I just can't stand. PTI is okay because of Wilbon, but I feel like on the show both of them just scream their arguments across: it's irritating.

Eh I like them. They have balls to say what other people think, but are too wuss to say. I respect both of them for that. Now I'm not particularly a huge Bayless fan, but he gets his points across and shouts what other people would dare not shout. I'm so sick of personalities saying the same goddamn thing and then agreeing with each other. Same with Jim Rome. I don't really like him, but I respect what he says and the audacity to say it.

I like those 3 for that, although Tony isnt that critical. Skip can annoy me from time to time but I usually get what he is saying. They are the only ones usually out there that are generally critical of people. ESPN is full of athletic lovers sans a person or 2 I forgot.

Hah, I'm completely different. I think Bayless is moronic for the things he does say, and I think Jim Rome is possibly the most conceited TV personality to ever grace the air. But like you say, I guess I can respect the fact that they're not afraid to say what they say.

Wilbon is smarter than TK when it comes to anything sports related.

Wilbon knows more nba but they both made their bones as newspaper writers. They arent around to break things down they are around to be entertaining talking heads which they are


and to person who said this is a marketing ploy i dont think so. Kornheiser has made fun of her before (among other pp,l pretty much what ever the tv is on during his show) but for whatever reason various sports blogs ran with the story this time


and fans of TK should podcast or listen live to his radio show

Speaking of Berman, one of the best stories about him.

http://deadspin.com/sports/chris-berman/he-could-go-all-the-way-166410.php

A friend of mine just told me he's getting married. When he gave me the news I immediately thought of the time we were in Scottsdale at spring training, because it's the best pickup story I've ever been a party to. It was about nine years ago, and I actually forget the bar.

But my friend was seriously putting the moves on this somewhat attractive young woman, who was wearing leather pants and had a leather jacket draped over her lap. They had been chatting at the bar for about an hour, and my friend thought he was in the house. I had never seen someone work so hard for a score.

But just as he was putting on the finishing touches, Chris Berman walks by. And without even breaking stride, Berman looks at the girl, points and says "You're with me, leather." And the girl looks up, instantly recognizes Berman, snatches up her jacket and walks out with him, leaving my friend in mid-sentence.
