Media Approval Ratings: Woody Paige
We used to have a lot more fun with Woody Paige than we do now because, back when we first started this site, we felt compelled to write about "Cold Pizza" every day, because it was so ridiculous and because we were home all day and the only people watching. (We are certain we were the only people on earth to catch the time Woody ate dog food on air.) More »
"No Artest, no Miller, no place to go and no way to get there for Sacramento. Hakuna matata. It means "no worries" for the Nuggets. Worry. Kings beat Jokers Saturday night." I recognize most of those words as English, but strung together as such, what the hell was just said? [Denver Post]

September 11: Perspectives From Bayless, Mariotti And Paige
It's the six-year anniversary of September 11 today, and we're not gonna make a huge thing about it, because everyone should grieve / remember in their own personal way. To commemorate the occasion, though, we thought it might be fun to step in the way back machine and see how three of our great political minds reacted to the situation in print at the time: Woody Paige, Jay Mariotti and Skip Bayless. Come with us. More »

Rita Ragone Has Influential Friends
Be advised, Woody Paige; if you think that you're going to steamroll Rita Ragone in this sexual harrassment lawsuit due to your celebrity status, think again. Ms. Ragone, Stylist to the Stars, has some powerful friends. According to her web site, not only is Stephen A. Smith in her corner, but she also counts The Great Throwdini as a personal friend. So unless Woody is friends with The Amazing Throwgali, he had better watch it. More »

ESPN Would Like You To Know That Only Harold Reynolds Harasses People
Probably time to check in on that whole Woody Paige sexual harassment lawsuit business. Not that many new details have been released since yesterday, except that we've learned a bit more about Jay Crawford, amazingly. (Seriously, we didn't think they guy even knew how to read.) We did enjoy the following denials from both ESPN and Atlantic Video (the production company of "Cold Pizza.")
ESPN: "This suit is without merit and we deny the allegations.
Atlantic Video: "This lawsuit is without merit, and we deny the allegations. This matter will be vigorously defended."
Someone's following their talking points! (Though this is not the first time Paige has been accused of something like this.)
Seriously, though: Explain to us how Paige is defended here while Harold Reynolds was canned for allegations that were far less egregious than these. It's almost as if Norby — Norby! — was playing favorites or something. Wonder if it has anything to do with HR being a Mark Shapiro guy, and Paige being more of a Norby — Norby! — guy. Just a thought. Wild guess, really.

ESPN, Woody Paige Sued For Sexual Harassment
As if ESPN wasn't having enough troubles, word just broke: The network and Woody Paige are being sued by a former "Cold Pizza" makeup artist for sexual harassment. ("Fire him!") The juicy and terrifying details:
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."
Now THAT'S a pinch! (Paige denies the claim.) We're not sure how one grabs someone's buttocks so hard that it propels them into the air, but if anyone could figure it out, man, it would have to be Professor Paige.

Woody Paige Fingers Terry Glenn
If you were watching Around the Horn yesterday (just kidding, I know you weren't), you might have seen Woody Paige reveal the locker-room snitch that Terrell Owens told Michael Irvin all about. Owens said in the ESPN interview that someone inside the Dallas organization made it a point to tell the media about even the slightest of his transgressions, but he wouldn't say name him, and hadn't confronted him. Woody Paige dropped a dime on the snitch yesterday. Maybe. More »

Woody Paige Refutes His Own Refutation
About three weeks ago, "Cold Pizza" dog-food eater Woody Paige denied rumors that he was leaving New York and all its Atlantic Video goodness to go back to The Denver Post and write columns about, uh, wearing funny hats or something. He said the rumors were just rumors. More »

Woody Paige Enters Mode Of Retreat
We've made fun of "Cold Pizza"'s and "Around The Horn"'s Woody Paige around these parts, if just because we're one of the 13 people on Earth who actually watches "Cold Pizza." (Unless they're playing Plinko on "The Price Is Right.") Also, because Paige isn't against the notion of eating dog food on live television. More »

Clipping Coupons At "Cold Pizza"
We know we pick on "Cold Pizza" a little more than we should around here; it's kind of an easy target sometimes, and besides, since we're here by ourselves all day, it's the only thing on. It's not as bad a show as, say, "Quite Frankly" or "Teammates," which is not to say it will ever be confused with anything good. More »

"Cold Pizza" Now Lunchtime Treat
Over the weekend, our man Woody Paige — whom we swear we're not picking on; we're gonna cut down on Woody news soon, promise — wrote his last column from the Denver Post, saying he's now going to "stick it out in New York for a while." We have no problem with this; we live in New York too, we like it here and totally understand wanting to stay here. More »
