"Let me begin by saying that (Tony) Kornheiser’s comments were not unlike any other opinion he would express on any given morning," Dave Miller writes, adding, "And it’s also very important to point out that his critiquing is not limited to women. I also subscribe to his show’s podcast, and on the December 17 episode (yes, I listen to archived episodes), Kornheiser said this about ESPN NBA analyst and former Dallas Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson: "Avery Johnson on television today wearing a white suit. This is why he’s not coaching in the league. Because he has no fashion sense. He has no fashion sense whatsoever. It is the middle of December. You cannot wear a white suit in Bristol, Connecticut. You look like a fool. And any [NBA] owner out there…He looks ridiculous…He’s on the screen…He looks ridiculous and he’ll never get a job in the NBA like that." So obviously Kornheiser has no problem dishing out heat, no matter the gender or race. He also has no problem critiquing fellow ESPN employees. Where was Kornheiser’s two-week suspension for that rant against Johnson?"
