Eurotrash? Where do they get these guys?
First it was Kornheiser and his dissing of Hannah Storm, now Mike Milbury puts his foot in his mouth. Are these the best the networks can come up with for the Olympics?

2. He made a big issue out of her Storm's attire.
It was pretty derogatory and over the line. To his credit he did offer a full apology.


"On his Feb. 16 radio show, the caustic sports columnist said the slim, 47-year-old Storm - who wore a red V-neck sweater, a short tartan skirt and red stiletto boots - was in "a horrifying, horrifying outfit."

"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?" Kornheiser said.

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," he added.



Below is what she was wearing. While it's a bit busy for my taste, she has the figure for it and I certainly don't see anything wrong with her wearing it.

4. I don't like the outfit either, but not because of her age or anything.
It's a combination of too much red with a loud, short skirt. It's just bad style, even if a teenager wore it.

She could wear the skirt with black boots and a black top. Just, turn down the volume a little.

5. I don't know why they dress her like a teen, but that's her business
personally I think many woman on tv are frighteningly thin and I hate those stiletto heels. But it's her life and arches! not mine. :D


But all in all, she's a sportscaster, and a good one, so it shouldn't really matter what she wears.
