Here's a piece of "why didn't this happen sooner" news. Sports network ESPN and the hosts for talk show Cold Pizza have been named as co-defendants in a sexual harrassment suit being brought by former ESPN make-up artist Rita Ragone. Ragone is alleging that Pizza hosts Jay Crawford and Woody Paige subjected her to "verbal come-ons, dirty jokes and lewd gestures (such as the grabbing of her backside)." Come on, honey...it's a sports show! Jokes aside, ESPN is dismissing the charges as being completely merit-less. Will this go to trial? Who knows, but I think it would make for some pretty juicy proceedings.
