Phillips' Sleazy Scandal

Remember when sex scandals used to be a big deal?

Nowadays, infidelities by public figures are greeted with a roll of the eyes and a shrug of the shoulders. That being said, ESPN's Steve Phillips may have taken the term "sleaze bag" to a whole new level.

Phillips, who had multiple affairs and was sued for sexual harrassment during his time as a Mets' executive, is in the news again for a similar situation. This time the story gets much juicier as Phillips had a brief fling with a 22-year old production intern at ESPN. Unfortunately for him, his mistress got a bit emotionally involved (to put it lightly). Brooke Hundley went as far to contact Phillips' wife and mother of his children, while reaching out to his 16-year old son via Facebook. It sounds like the plot for a bad Lifetime movie.

Though cheating on your spouse is not something I condone, and is the ultimate representation of a person's true character (or lack thereof), couldn't Steve at least get his money's worth?

I mean...



















Really?

If I was going to cheat, I'd make sure it was with somebody other than Steve Perry.

Obviously you feel for Phillips' family. Nobody should have to go through what they've been subjected to over the past decade. However, as far as Steve goes, maybe he'll finally learn his lessson. The worst part about this whole saga for baseball fans will be trying to ignore the gross personal details that Hundley shared with the world while watching Steve Phillips analyze pitching matchups.

(Shudder.)
