You know that you have to be dressing bad if Tony Kornheiser is calling you out.

Why does it look like he has that "oh, you have been a bad girl now haven't you" look? :laugh2:
I dont care for her. But, its a shock look. Shock is in.
I am pretty sure if all the guys in here were right next to her they would all be smiling.

Funny, .. if I had seen her on that show, I would not have even noticed what she had on, or if it was "acceptable" or not.
I don't know why some people choose to criticize others appearance, ... nor why anyone cares if they do.
I wouldn't say anything about what someone looks like or what someone is wearing, ... nor would I care if anyone said something to me, or about me.
I guess I'm doubly confused.

Aside from it being a very ugly outfit, I don't think she should be insulted.
With that said, some people get dressed to cover their bodies, others do it for attention. It's not too hard to discern who's doing what. Sometimes the attention isn't complimentary and thats the risk a person takes when they dress for attention.

I think it's funny that ESPN would drop the hammer on Kornheiser for this. They have accepted Berman's behavior, which is far worse with respects to women then this, for decades. Now, they decide to take the hard line.
Beyond rediculous IMO.

A quick comment on the Kornheiser suspension
Posted by Mike Florio on February 24, 2010 12:49 PM ET
Several of you have asked for our views on the suspension, as reported by The Big Lead, of former Monday Night Football talking head and PTI co-host Tony Kornheiser. We're not using that as our opening line in order to justify wading into this morass; we've written only because we're sick of getting e-mails asking us why we haven't said anything about it. We really don't think it's relevant to the NFL, given that Kornheiser no longer is part of the network's pro football coverage and that the target of the criticism supposedly prompting the suspension, ESPN SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm, isn't specifically assigned to pro football.
But Kornheiser's past role on MNF compels us to make a quick comment, mindful of the fact that Storm's husband, Dan Hicks, works for NBC. (Was it just me, or was he wearing red go-go boots during last night's speed skating coverage?)
Regardless of whether Kornheiser's underlying point was accurate (and many could reasonably conclude that it was), he should not have engaged in what came off as a mean-spirited personal attack on the wardrobe choices of an on-air colleague. We realize that conflict and candor generate interest, and we've used those tools many times over the years. But, as we've learned since July 1 of 2009, being part of a team requires a slightly different approach when it comes to the other members of that team.
Storm, and every ESPN employee, is entitled to a certain level of respect from everyone who works at ESPN. And management owes it to Storm and every other ESPN employee to ensure that such respect is provided. If Storm were to guest host one of the various ESPN radio shows and riff on one or more of Kornheiser's many superficial imperfections with content and tone suggesting it's less of an all-in-good-fun tweaking and more of a gratuitous slam, Storm would be subject to that same rule. (We have a feeling Kornheiser would not have handled the situation as graciously as she did.)
It's just not good for business to have co-workers sniping at each other, unless the name of the business is the WWE. That said, good-natured jabs are fine, like making fun of Rosenthal's youthful appearance -- or Rosenthal making fun of the increasing flecks of gray in my newest toupee.
Genuine disagreements are fair game as well. But there's a way to disagree without being disagreeable. We're not sure that, when facing an actual conflict with a colleague, Kornheiser has mastered that skill.
So we think ESPN got this one right, and we wonder whether Kornheiser will soon choose to walk out the door -- and whether his suspension should be regarded as a not-so-subtle nudge in that general direction.
