That's what I'm saying, guy…

Phillips and his road beef

A few years ago, Harold Reynolds was canned from ESPN’s Baseball Tonight staff for an alleged “pattern of sexual harassment”, which Reynolds described as a misunderstanding and a simple case of happy hands. Now its starting to look like that sort of thing runs in the Baseball Tonight family — well, at least something like that. Reports out of ESPN today say 46-year-old analyst Steve Phillips has been suspended for an affair with a 22-year-old co-worker, shown at left. Is that worth risking your job and ruining your marriage for (his wife has filed for divorce)? Well, we’ll let Phillips decide that on his own.

But wait, the story gets even more interesting: Apparently the woman Phillips allegedly had the affair with, Brooke Huntley, is borderline insane, or Marbury-esque, so they say. According to the New York Post, she showed up at Phillips’ house recently to leave a letter for his wife, detailing their affair and pleading with her to divorce him so they could live happily ever after. As proof she’s legit, Hundley described a pair of birthmarks in Phillips’ crotchal region. Nice touch. You can read the letter here.

On thing is for sure — Phillips, who served as general manager of the New York Mets from 1997-2003, has proven himself to be even a worse judge of talent than J.P. Ricciardi. Good luck with everything, Steve!
