So the whole Steve Phillips fiasco has reached its inevitable conclusion: ESPN canned his ass. They waited until Sunday night to make the announcement, and then loaded his career into a Mayflower truck and drove nonstop to Indianapolis.

“Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN,” network spokesman Josh Krulewitz said in a statement. “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.” –ESPN, via Deadspin.

I guess I understand–how much credibility does a guy have after he knocked boots with this? But if that’s the case, why does former Detroit Lions GM Matt Millen still have a job at the network? That guy dicked an entire city. For YEARS. And what does he get for his trouble? He gets to go on TV and tell everyone how much he knows about football. My ass. Oh, but he’s great on TV. No, the same rule applies. That asshole may as well have “0-16″ tattooed onto his forehead, because that’s the only thought I can process whenever I see that chump on TV.

ASYLUM POLL: Did Steve Phillips get harsh treatment compared to other ornery celebs?

ESPN analyst Steve Phillips has been suspended by that network, apparently for banging A 22-year-old production assistant back in July. Phillips, 46, tried to break off his affair with Brooke Hundley, who then harassed Phillips and his family until the former New York Mets GM filed a harassment thingy with police.

The New York Post compares the affair to that movie Fatal Attraction, but there’s one clear difference here, and that is that Glenn Close didn’t look like a supporting character in Where The Wild Things Are. Seriously, Steve? You’re throwing away your marriage on that?! Her? What, does she tell funny jokes or something? Hey, Brooke! Your mom called! She said “MOO!” Aww, that was mean.

Glenn Close? I could see that. Hell, I’d do Glenn Close now. Sure, she’s a bit brittle these days, but least she doesn’t look like she’d chew on the furniture. What’s that? You were looking for real analysis on this? Well, the New York Post and Deadspin are all over this. Go there. Oh, and it looks like Steve and his wife Marni are getting a divorce. I guess Steve’s earlier affair while he was with the Mets didn’t help that cause. But to be totally fair, the Mets screw everybody.
