Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She's got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt ... way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now...She's got on her typically very, very tight shirt. She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body ... I know she's very good, and I'm not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won't ... but Hannah Storm ... come on now! Stop! What are you doing? ... She's what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point.

Granted I did not hear the audio recording of these comments so I can't tell his inflection, but how is this inappropriate behavior in the world of sports? It's not like he said something outright sexist, other than the comments on her age. Still, I think that female broadcasters like Storm have been around long enough to realize that the sports world is and will be a testosterone filled environment. Besides, if we're struggling for equality here, this certainly shows a double standard. After all, nobody ever gets into trouble for making fun of Craig Saiger's array of dazzling yet out of place suits.
