Steve Phillips: Fired!

During Sunday night's Game 6 of the ALCS, ESPN announced that Steve Phillips had been fired. 

In a statement, the network said:

"Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN. 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."

Meanwhile Steve's representative, Steve Lefkowitz, said that Phillips "voluntarily" admitted himself to an in-patient treatment facility "to address his personal issues."

The statement from Steve Lefkowitz did not specify the nature of Phillips issues, and the shamed broadcaster was believed to be planning to check himself in several days before ESPN gave him the axe.

Steve was given a leave of absence for a week after his affair with Brooke Hundley became public. Steve and Brooke had a sexual relationship over the summer and she allegedly stalked him and showed up at his house in mid-August.

Steve was a regular in the game booth on Sunday nights.

This entire affair was worthless, but if it's a catalyst for Steve's recovery, then I guess some good came from his philandering with Brooke.

You take ONE LOOK at Brooke's face and you know the man is a sex addict. Hopefully he'll get better. Especially considering that he allegedly uses a 'I had a vasectomy, no condom necessary' panty-dropping line, the man could get a fatal STD. He needs to quit already!

Why I believe Steve's a sex addict. The proof is in the fug:
