While Denver Post columnist and ESPN talking head Woody Paige attemps to weather the roughest week of his professional career, a nation wonders: are we going to see Woodrow and that silly chalkboard on Around the Horn ever again? We’ve been pestering our sources over at ESPN for information on the developing situation, and most believe the four-letter is going to take the ‘wait and see’ approach with this case, as opposed to calling him into an office and firing him instantly, like they did to Harold Reynolds. As others pointed out on our previous thread, this woman does have a book coming out, so perhaps the timing is a bit curious.

At any rate, here’s what we were able to gather from a source close to the Cold Pizza/First Take set:

“Paige was ALWAYS bringing women to the set. They were always “new girlfriends.” And he had them sit on the set so they can watch him in person. The camera men used to call it the “Bimbo Brigade.” Finally the executive producer went [to] Paige and told him it was a distraction and that any guests were allowed to watch the show from the “green room” but not on the set. He had a hissy fit, called a bunch of the Bristol brass — who by the way are no strangers to sexual harassment cases — but they backed the EP and his babe parade was relegated to the green room.”

The source adds that one of the other ESPN names in the suit, production director Lori Berlin, was “one of Paige’s best friends when he was in New York and spent several holidays with him.” Perhaps this is one reason Paige’s and Crawford’s alleged misdeeds went on for so long.

We’re curious – has Paige been on Around the Horn the last two days? We haven’t been watching. And as always, if anyone out there is hearing anything, drop us a line.

And it’s not like we needed to remind you, but it has been a rough week for the Denver Post.
