On Wednesday word broke that ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips had an affair with 22-year-old production assistant Brooke Hundley. ESPN addressed the allegations later that day, and Phillips took "an extended leave of absence." And Sunday night Phillips is out at the World Wide Leader. Via ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz's Twitter feed:

"Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN. His ability to be an effective rep of ESPN has been significantly & irreparably damaged."
That didn't take long. Perhaps ESPN truly felt that Phillips' ability to represent the network had been "significantly & irreparably damaged." Or maybe they're making an example of Phillips and sending a clear message to everybody else that such behavior will be addressed swiftly and severely.
Meanwhile, I can't help but think that Phillips might still have a job if Deadspin hadn't gone insane in the membrane on ESPN last Thursday.
