Tonight on Monday Night Football, we get to witness ESPN’s Mike Tirico broadcast a game in which Brett Favre returns to New York to play his former team. All of this seems only to be the backdrop of a recent Brett Favre scandal.

Favre, as most people know already, is involved in accusations that he left incriminating voice mail messages on the phone of former Jets employee Jenn Sterger. According to these accusations, he then sent photos of his genitals to her phone.

Most likely, not much will be mentioned of this by Mike Tirico, or the rest of the MNF crew during tonight’s game. They are merely accusations that were released by an anonymous source. However, it may bring back memories for ESPN’s Mike Tirico, who was involved in a scandal of his own back in 1992.

According to a book published by New York Times reporter Michael Freeman, Tirico was accused in several instances of sexual harassment himself.

Mike Tirico’s scandal started in 1992 when he was working for ESPN. One of the women that accused him of sexual harassment said that he would not leave her alone at a party. According to Freeman’s book, the woman was approached by Tirico who told her, “You are the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”

When the woman ignored Tirico and even told him to “leave her alone,” Tirico persisted. He allegedly proceeded to try and reach his hand between her thighs.

This is just one of the instances where Tirico was accused of harassment. There are also more. He claims that they were all merely misunderstandings.

Tirico has been married, and was only suspended by the ESPN network for 3 months back in 1992. None of these allegations were ever proven. Shouldn’t these celebrities be granted the benefit of the doubt, at least until something is proven?
