ESPN Not Playing Fair with the Steve Phillips Scandal (Photo)

Another week, another sex scandal.

This time however we have a repeat offender.

ESPN Baseball Tonight analyst Steve Phillips and his family were being stalked by a 22 year-old ESPN employee named Brooke Hundley (pictured below), for whom he had an affair with this past summer.

According to the New York Post, after Phillips, 46 broke it off with Hundley, she pulled a "Fatal Attraction" and started doing odd things including:

* Pretending to be a high school classmate of his son on Facebook to learn more about the family.

* Leaving a letter for Phillips' wife Marni, detailing their affair from where the duo had their trysts to the birth marks on Phillips' body, (Marni Phillips has since filed for divorce)

The last time ESPN went through a public sex scandal was in 2006, when current MLB Network host and former ESPN Baseball Tonight co-host Harold Reynolds was fired for sexual harassment.

Reynolds sued ESPN and refuted the claim, saying that all he did was give a co-worker a hug.

In 2008, Reynolds reached an out of court settlement with ESPN.

In stark contrast, Steve Phillips has been suspended, but not fired by ESPN.

Ironically, before ESPN hired Phillips in 2005, the former New York Mets GM had an affair with a Mets employee Rosa Rodriguez in 1998.

But the question now is why was ESPN so quick to fire Reynolds with very little evidence, where Philips sexual indiscretion is not only well documented but he admitted the affair to the police?

I smell a double standard.

Did Steve Phillips do anything illegal? No.

But he did have sex with a ESPN subordinate, after doing the same thing with the Mets.

How does that not justify a swift dismissal like Reynolds who ultimately did nothing wrong?

Too bad we can't throw mics into the faces of ESPN executives like they do to athletes huh?
