Affair

ESPN analyst Steve Phillips was fired Sunday night over his extramarital affair with Brooke Hundley, 22, a production assistant. A spokesman for Phillips said he "is voluntarily admitting himself to an inpatient treatment facility to address his personal issues." He checked himself into rehab on Monday and will be treated for sex addiction. He is also trying to save his marriage.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz stated on Monday, "Brooke Hundley is no longer working here. She was fired today."

After the three day July affair ended, it was reported Hundley was constantly calling Phillip's wife, Marni, and left her a letter describing locations of Phillip's birthmarks in intimate places. It was also reported Marni called the police on Hundley after finding the young woman in her driveway. Marni Phillips filed for divorce on September 14.

The sports cable network said in a statement, "Phillips ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways."

Phillips was promoted this year to provide color commentary in the network's premier broadcast of "Sunday Night Baseball." He joined the ESPN team in 2004. Hundley began working for ESPN in September of 2008.

Phillips, 46, took a leave of absence last Wednesday, a few days after the fling with Hundley was plastered all over the national news.

When will these men learn that it is just not worth it.

It is the women as well. It takes two to tango.

I am shocked to hear this news. I didn't see Phillips being one of these kind of people.

Phllips always rubbed me the wrong way anyway. They should've never let Harold Reynolds leave.

He was caught cheating when he was the Mets GM as well. He should already know if he was going to cheat, at least upgrade. Why risk a divorce on a 2?

ESPN has a lot to lose here, so this is probably the safe decision to make. If something like this escalates, it can tarnish the networks reputation. But didn't David Letterman have a similar situation? CBS still has him on air.

I agree with Redhanded101. Can't blame JUST THE MAN or JUST THE GIRL. Neither one of them is innocent here. They BOTH knew what they were playing with and they were WILLING TO RISK IT ALL..and for WHAT, I ask? Having a 'good time sexually' with someone of the opposite sex is NEVER a good idea when one of the individuals is married. NEVER..but people still do this anyway. Like marriage vows DON'T mean ANYTHING ANYMORE. it's a shame. People NEVER think about the CONSEQUENCES when they are indulging into an extra-marital affair. They don't think things through. They're only thinking about that moment but what about what long term effects it might have.

You're right, it does take two to tango. Brooke doesn't sound like a nice girl, taunting his wife and also stalking their son on facebook. She's got some issues herself.
