ESPN analyst Phillips in 'Fatal Attraction' scandal
TV baseball analyst Steve Phillips had a brief affair with an ESPN production assistant who taunted his wife with "Fatal Attraction"-like phone calls and a letter that bragged about her sexual encounters with Phillips after being dumped, The New York Post reported.
The former New York Mets general manager told his wife and police he slept with Brooke Hundley, 22, multiple times this summer before dumping her.
The woman repeatedly phoned Phillips' wife, Marni, saying, "We both can't have him!" the police report says.

That’s the face one makes after seeing Steve Phillips’ Texas-sized crotch birth mark.

I’d just like to point out right here that I never, at any point in my life, said that Steve Phillips wasn’t a player.
Let the record show.

The letter from the mistress to Steve Phillips’ wife is on Huffington Post, and uh, I know a lot more about Steve Phillips now than I really should.
For instance, where his biirthmarks are.
Cat's out of the bag...
In the letter, the newspaper reported, Hundley details her affair with Phillips, and mentions “a big birthmark on his crotch . . . and one on his left inner thigh, so you know I’m not being fake.”
Now that this is public knowledge, how is the next coworker that Phillips boinks going to prove she’s “not being fake”?

I recommend that Phillips get a small, discreet tattoo that only his wife and doctor should ever see. AND A FUCKING CLUE.

Steve Phillips is also a handsome man. You’d have to be handsome to be comfortable on TV.
I can think of a lot of announcers who aren’t exactly gorgeous who are about ten thousand times better than Steve Phillips…

And this isn't the first time he's gotten in trouble for this kind of thing, mind you
For a brief stint in 1998, Phillips took a leave of absence as general manager because of a sexual harassment suit. He admitted to consensual sex with the woman who filed the suit, as well as multiple other affairs, but denied harassment and the civil suit was settled out of court. Phillips was away from the team for a total of 8 days. The Mets defended Phillips privately and publicly, and the alleged victim’s attorney was even quoted as believing in his sincerity.2

Considering she’s married to Steve Phillips, she’s probably relieved he’s turning his attentions elsewhere instead of pestering her.
Also, I think I saw elsewhere that she’s filed for divorce.

This keeps getting better.
Apparently Phillips also had an affair with Tsuyoshi Shinjo (who also wrote a letter to Mrs Phillips).

I wonder how this affair will affect the Mets’ lack of leadership in the clubhouse.

whee, even creepier
Phillips’ wife, Marni, called police Aug. 19 when she came home to find Hundley in her driveway. “I knew instinctively that this was the woman Steve was involved with and I was terrified,” she wrote in a statement to police.
Hundley’s car smashed into a stone column as she backed out of the driveway and she escaped by driving across the lawn. Marni Phillips said she discovered a note describing her husband’s relationship with Hundley attached to her front door.
Later that evening, the Phillips’ 16-year-old son told his parents that Hundley had posed as a high school classmate and sent repeated instant messages asking personal questions about his family and his parents’ marriage, according to the police report.
She also posed as a second friend, contacting him through the son’s Facebook account, the report said.

“Can we somehow get Brooke Hundley to sleep with Joe Morgan, Tim McCarver, Chip Caray, Mike Milbury and Chris Berman? You’re doing the Lord’s work, honey!”

I remember during my first two years of college, I practically went into shock from the disillusionment I felt after seeing how rare couples stay faithful to one another. It still blows my mind.

You’re obviously paying attention to the wrong couples.
Well, maybe not obviously. It could just be that I’m somehow exposed to all the right couples. But as long as I don’t watch TV, almost everybody I know who is in a mature relationship is doing it right.

That sentence sounds much more cause and effect than it should have. If I watch TV, I see couples failing because people on TV are unstable by nature. Celebrities don’t become celebrities by NOT needing more love and attention than a regular person should. And non-celebrities don’t become celebrities by NOT being unstable.
But when I look away from the TV and check out the regular people in my life who are making a go at it, they’re almost uniformly doing really well.

Yeah, that’s probably true. On the other hand, it’s probably one of the only places you’ll ever have a chance to see a five-way. Or in my case, to hear about it later from the people who saw it.

Women really rule this world
ESPN can’t fire her because they’re afraid of a sexual harrassment lawsuit. So what she’s following Phillips’ family around and bothering his kids.

Oh yeah, it’s a woman’s world for sure. When women are denied medical insurance because domestic violence and rape are deemed pre-existing conditions, I can see where we wield all the power.
