Steve Phillips has been suspended from ESPN because of having a brief fling with a fellow ESPN employee named Brooke Hundley this summer. ESPN decided to suspend the commentator, over Steve Phillips and his woefully inappropriate behavior and the resultant scandal, involving him, his mistress Brooke Hundley, and his wife. To go along with the fact that the man is a total sleaze, and an insult to the male gender, his wife slapped him in September with divorce papers, after his mistress stalked his family, although for the noble purpose of telling them how much of a sleaze he is. Apparently, the soon to be ex-Mrs. Phillips listened, and now Steve Phillips is going to need a new job, and a personal loan for a divorce attorney, and probably somewhere to stay.

“Their inexorable slide into mediocrity”?

Blogger, please. More folks who want to use blogging as way of making inroads into the journalism field should be praising sites like DS for what they have done & continue to do.

Deadspin began their inexorable slide into mediocrity on the day that Will Leitch left for greener pastures. Maybe Buzz Bissinger was right after all.
