Men Behaving Badly

In a story that continues to unfold and get more creepy, now former ESPN analyst Steve Phillips has been fired by the network for his inappropriate behavior/affair with production assistant Brooke Hundley.   Hundley has also been fired by the network.  Phillips also had an affair when he was New York Mets general manager.  His wife has also now filed for divorce.

The New York Daily news has published some foreshadowing quotes, which give us some insight into Hundley’s psyche, including the following from a letter to her dean at Ithaca’s Park School of Communications.  “You never know who you will need help from further down the road … so be nice, and get to know everybody.” Hundley wrote.  “Getting to know you” has a whole new meaning.

Perhaps what is more disturbing isn’t the relentless pointing out of Hundley’s obvious lack of physical attributes prized by most men, but the obvious obsession Hundley had with Phillips.  For a chilling read, take a gander at the note she sent to Ms. Phillips, published by the New York Post in the link below.

It wasn’t as if Phillips was lonely one night after a show, and found a down-trodden but all-too-willing-to-please production assistant to hook in the Polynesian Polar Bear (a sexual position for only the most nefarious, and flexible, of philanderers).  However their first encounter took place, it continued, and it is clear that Hundley wasn’t too far away from boiling a rabbit on his stove in the coming days.

This is only the latest incident to come out of Bristol in the last few years.  Horrible NFL quarterback turned expert quarterback analyst Sean Salisbury was reprimanded by ESPN for allegedly photographing his junk with his cell phone and sending it to many co-workers, including females. Salisbury has repeatedly denied this, and has even threatened legal action, however Deadspin.com has apparently come up with an eye (no pun intended) witness.  We’ll see how it plays out, but we can at least let the bad jokes begin.  I’ll start: “Hey, that may be a Salisbury, but its certainly not a Steak”.

More recently, ESPN announcer Eric Kuselias allegedly told a female co-worker at ESPN, “I would like to f$%& you” at a Monday night football party after having a few too many cocktails. After being found to have an affair with ESPN announcer Stephania Belle, Kuselias was divorced.  Perhaps the delicious irony is that Kuselias was hired to replace another ESPN analyst (Jason Jackson) fired for sexual harassment.  Check out the full story below.

We’re not sure if working at a network that covers sports causes the employees to get so charged up with testosterone that they start acting out, but the letters could start standing for something else soon.  Our favorite?  Everyone’s a Sexually Perverted Narcissist.  Feel free to leave your own acronym below.
