I could have gone my entire life
without knowing that Phillips has a birthmark on his inner thigh.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Let's see if I got this stratight - Harold Reynolds hugs a co-worker and gets fired
But Steve Phillips has an affair with a co-worker that turns into a Fatal Attraction-like sex scandal involving police and and will soon be covered by TMZ and all the tabloids. And for all this, he gets suspended for only a week?
Hmm… Bob Watson must be in charge of discipline over at ESPN now…
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
ESPN's spin was that there were other incidents with Harnold Reynolds
and he was told that he would be finished with ESPN if anything else happened. That’s what I read at the time Harold was fired.
Hey, it's a new century!

The woman involved alleged something more than that happened.
Plus it wasn’t Reynolds’ first incident at ESPN. Allegedly he had been warned that any incident could lead to his termination.

I never liked Steve Phillips
this is just another reason.
This is only the beginning....Lou Pinella end of '07 season and Chicago Transit Authority (the band when they were really good).

Unfortunately,
as I get older, this is a situation that I see play out way too often. At what point will people understand that a grown man, and a 20-something girl is probably the world’s worst match?

Nice job Steve
I guess running the first girl wasn’t enough. It is funny that Reynolds gets the boot and old Stevie boy has a job. Sure Reynolds might have had other issues, but how could it top this?
Update
Phillips was granted an "extended leave of absence.
I’m betting he won’t be back.

Al,
I think you work in the TV biz, right?
Would a production assistant (what do they do, anyway?) have anything to gain (i.e., promotion, better working hours, better assignments) by sleeping with one of the show’s “stars” under coercion?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Ultimately, no.
There is NOTHING to gain from this type of behavior. Well, except a social disease…

YUP
First, a PA stands for ‘Production Assistant’. Basically they do the crap nobody wants to do. Get lunch, go get ‘star X’ out of their trailer, run some gear to or from the production truck, go through the archives digging for footage of dropped third strikes, etc.
I’ve been a PA, on films, not for a permanent TV show, but as a day player.
But if the ‘star’ is a significant part of the franchise, yes, they can certainly have an impact over the career of a PA. Say Mr. Phillips is working on a 4 minute piece about the Angel’s defense, and as the ‘journalist’ he has input over who he wants to produce it, he could easily say ‘Hey, I’ve seen some of this girl’s work and I think she’s ready, and I’d like her to at least Co-Produce with one of our veteran producers’.
Boom. This PA can now start adding ‘Producer – ESPN’ to her resume and increase her average day rate and open more doors for herself in her career.
Now, he can’t really turn her from being a PA to being an everday producer at ESPN, but he can certainly grease the wheels for her to go up a rung or two far quicker than she might otherwise.
I’ve been freelancing in production and editing in Chicago for the past four years. It is 95% about who you know. If I had let Steve Phillips plow me in his car, I bet I’d be making a TON more than I am now. Just sayin.

The real question is
would you have let Steve Phillips blow you in his car?

Surely you can see the difference between consensual and non . . .
Plus, Reynolds had been warned.
Phillips is still slimy, but that doesn’t mean Reynolds was treated unfairly.

The blogs are all saying
that ESPN, with its “star power” of the anchors, the jocks all hanging around used to getting whatever tail fancied them and the fact that there is nothing to do but drink, fight and f—k in Bristol leads to this.
And this is a ton more, from the whispers they are reporting.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
I am trying to be as diplomatic about this as possible but....
Did anyone else see the picture of the chick?
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/gal_saw_affair_with_espn_steve_phillips_tevaoeTPhWS3WDDEW3xkaJ
That is the picture of her…
Now i am in a committed relationship of a year and half with no kids but seriously if i had a wife and four kids and i was willing to risk my career which i am nicely rewarded for (even though i sucked at my previous job which got me my cush job) and my family i would have been getting it on with a much hotter slampiece. She looks like a dude. Gross.
To all the young readers out there dont dip the pen in the company ink. It never works out well. Trust Phillips, Harold Reynolds, Sean Salsbury, and others. (End gossip column rant)
ps. i apologize for the use of the term slampiece but after seeing what this “man” looked like this was the worse affair decision in terms of looks since maybe Monica. (That really isnt political. JFK had an amazing woman. Bill not so much. I would think the leader of the free world could do better.)

I've got no sympathy for Steve
However, the details of his personal life aren’t really my business in the first place.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
I hesitate to do this...
…but if you want to see a few more pics of Phillips’ paramour, go here. And if you’d like to read some truly cruel, heartless, immature, inappropriate and hilarious remarks on her physical appearance, check out the comments.

You know what I don't get...
Why it always seems like the girls in these cases are just a wee bit delusional. You really think a married man is going to leave his wife and kids when he’s already had affairs in the past?
In this case
Steve Phillips is just a wee bit delusional.
You really think this girl is going to become more attractive?
No amount of Tequilla is going to change that, even if the first time was in St. Louis.

“Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN,” network spokesman Josh Krulewitz said in a statement. “His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways.”
50 bucks he ends up on TBS in time for next year’s playoffs.
