Something that Sounds Like It Should Be on the Sports Ticker...

But actually happened!

Everyone's favorite mindless ESPN talking head (sorry, Skip Bayless) Woody Paige has been accused of sexual harassment by a former makeup artist of the always useless "Cold Pizza." Details? So glad you asked:
A woman who worked on the set of the ESPN talk show "Cold Pizza" is suing the sports network, claiming she was fired after complaining about sexual harassment by the show's host and one of its regular panelists. In the lawsuit, which also names ESPN host Jay Crawford and sports commentator Woody Paige, Rita Ragone claims that Paige pinched and fondled her and she was subjected to crude sexual comments from Crawford.

Ragone, a makeup artist and hair stylist from the Bronx, claimed Paige once grabbed her backside so forcefully, she was "propelled forward and into the air."
We over here at...(need a clever nickname) are fairly amused by the fact that Paige still has a job while Harold Reynolds was fired immediately upon accusal of sexual harassment.
