Woody Paige Accused in Sexual Harassment Suit

Story here on CNNSI.


I could not be more ecstatic. I've been a Woody Paige hater since he wrote an article for the Denver fishwrap calling Baltimore a cesspool in advance of the Ravens 21-0 first round playoff shellacking of the Donks in 2001 (link unavailable). Don't get me wrong. I'm well aware of Baltimore's shortcomings, but I'll be damned if I'm going to take crap like that from DENVER, the most redneck "city" in the country.

blahblahblahblahblahblThe best, and most sober, Woody has ever looked

Then we got to see Woody be a buffoon on Around the Horn. That at least confirmed my hatred. Then he moved into the most ill-conceived role in television history - sparring partner for Skip Bayless, a teetotaler, on Cold Pizza. Woody ranged from hungover to residually drunk to stinking drunk every morning I ever saw him. It's comical that the makeup artist for Cold Pizza is the one accusing Woody. I have a feeling they spent MANY mornings together trying to sew those saddlebags back into Woody's eyesockets.

I wonder what the chalkboard behind him on Around the Horn will say tonight. Normally he has something clever like "World's Smartest Man" with an arrow pointing at him. I can think of a long list of more appropo things for it to say today.

I have a feeling he won't be in attendance today. ESPN would have a hard time explaining how Harold Reynolds (Black and talented) got unceremoniously shitcanned while Woody Paige (White and worthless) is allowed to keep appearing.

Mike Tirico (arguably black and definitely talented...also an Ann Arbor resident) survived his sexual harrasment issues at ESPN. But that was a long time ago, when he had hair.

Also, he won't be on tonight because the Tony Reali hour of programing was cancelled Thursday and Friday this week for women's golf.

Insert your women's golf/sexual harrasment joke here:

"Women can't hit as far because their boobs get in the way." That's the line that got someone fired in the mid-nineties.

And wait a second, Mike Tirico graduated from Suckacuse and moved to Ann Arbor? What the hell is wrong with him? Sometimes I think he and John Saunders just have great tans.

I'm not sure why Tirico lives in Ann Arbor...maybe Michigan is his home state.

As for Saunders, he's Canadian, so it's a whole different thing going on up there, eh?

I thought we ceded Michigan to Canada? With the troubles facing GM and Ford and the impending collapse of Michigan into a welfare state, what are we waiting for?

You trying to bring the MSU people back here or something?

I don't think you get how this blog thing works. Hits are good. It doesn't matter if they're coming here to research ways to kill us.
