brooke-phillips-steve-phillips-affairSteve Phillips remains employed by ESPN, but is taking an extended leave of absence. Brooke Hundley remains employed by ESPN, but is not working baseball games. Nobody has been able to produce a Marni Phillips photo. There are no major developments to report, but more than a handful of links worth peeking at:

* Have you heard Marni Phillips’ 911 call? It is from the time she was returning to her house and Hundley was leaving the fateful note behind (If you haven’t read the note she left Phillips’ wife, it is definitely worth a look).
* The NY Post called Brooke Hundley a “tubby temptress” and hinted that she thought Steve Phillips was her “ticket to the top.” The tabloid also said that “Phillips is suspected of sleeping with several ESPN employees.”
* Yes, calling this situation a Fatal Attraction-type scenario is accurate. Hundley took out a craig’s list ad to find someone to call Phillips wife.
* Bob Raissman of the NY Daily News: “The fact that both participants wanted to tango might not be enough to save his job, especially if Phillips made the first move. If ESPN brass had concerns over Phillips, they might have put very specific morals clauses in his contract. If they didn’t, they are morons, albeit trusting ones.”
* Piece of advice for anyone at ESPN who plans on sleeping with/has slept with on-air talent – clean up your facebook/myspace profiles. As soon as your story breaks, your friends will sell you out.

Obviously, there was no mention of the Steve Phillips sex scandal. But will the Ombudsman chime in on the Animal House culture in Bristol? It’s something his predecessor would have done. And it’s not like he doesn’t have plenty of ammo:

* Mike Tirico – Three month suspension earlier this decade for essentially stalking an ESPN employee
* Harold Reynolds – banished
* Woody Paige
* Sean Salisbury – banished
* Erik Kuselias
* Steve Phillips
