That sounds like a pretty lame excuse though.

"we have to be extra nice to the women because they get no respect". That is the exact opposite of equality.

I gather you don't watch PTI because it wasn't like Bob Costas doing something like this on NBC. PTI is like Off the Record sort of. It is a place for personalities to speak their minds and make lots of jokes.

On one episode Kornheiser called coach Ryan of the Jets a fat jerk like 20 times in 1 segment.

If it was said on Sportscenter it would be offensive and unnecessary. This isn't about equality for women it is about ESPN censoring their 2 best personalities.

If you regularly watched PTI you'd know that Kornheiser and Wilbon say worse stuff about people on EVERY single show. I'll assume you don't watch the show because I remember you locked a thread a while ago and implied you had never watched PTI. Remember?
