Woody Paige lives up to his name
June 29, 2007
The New York Post has an absolutely hilarious account of a suit filed by a former ESPN make up person/lady/whatever for sexual harassment. Even if you’ve never heard of Jay Crawford or Woody Paige, the details are a bit startling. They’re also oddly funny once you actually imagine Woody Paige pulling some of these stunts:
“Paige grabbed her butt so forcefully, Ragone, quite startled, was propelled forward and into the air,” says the suit [...]
Ragone claims she endured a daily barrage of vulgarity from the pair, who asked, “Wanna see what’s in my pants?” “Wanna f- - -?” and “Can you give me a h- - -job today?”
In October 2005, Paige loudly said, “Rita looks like she’s really good at giving b- - -jobs. Imagine that face between your legs,” according to the suit.
Paige routinely told Ragone “sit right here” while “tapping his hand on his lap near his genital area,” court papers state - and asked, “Do you think I have a big one because I’m a big guy?”
Clothing was not required at “Cold Pizza,” where Ragone once saw Paige without his pants standing in front of the open door to his office.
All that coming from a guy who choked on confetti.
“Sure sports writers are going to have fun. That’s what we do.” Oh dear.
