Woodrow Wilson Paige Jr. (born June 27, 1946)[1] is a sports columnist for The Gazette,[2] author, and a panelist on the ESPN talk show Around the Horn.
After graduating from UT he went on to write for the Knoxville Journal, The Commercial Appeal of Memphis, and the Rocky Mountain News of Denver.
The CEO of the company threatened Paige and the Post with legal action over the allegations but had to retract the lawsuit when it was discovered that the story was true.
He had a friendly rivalry with fellow panelist Jay Mariotti prior to the latter's dismissal from the show; the two currently host a sports podcast titled "Unmuted", which references the mute button employed on ATH.
In July 2004, Paige announced that he was taking a one-year leave from the Post to join ESPN2's then-debuting Cold Pizza (a daytime-TV "morning show"-style program that was only loosely grounded in sports, aimed also at female viewers).
